Line 268:
* John Paul Larkin, aka Scatman John sadly died of lung cancer in his Los Angeles home on December 3, 1999.
* There's been speculation that [[Otis Redding]] intended "(Sittin' on) The Dock of The Bay" to be part of a [[The Beatles (band)|''Sgt. Pepper'']]-like concept album, but he was killed in a plane crash 18 days after recording it, and he didn't record anything else before then.
* Buddy Holly [http://www.buddyhollyonline.com/apttapes.html wrote a bunch of new songs]{{Dead link}} in the months leading up to his death (including "Peggy Sue Got Married" and "Crying, Waiting, Hoping") and recorded acoustic guitar demos of them. We'll never know how he intended to arrange them, but that didn't stop his label from overdubbing and releasing them on two separate occasions.
* Former La Bouche singer Melanie Thornton died in a plane crash before her solo album could be completed. The vocals from two of her unreleased songs were used in a [[Posthumous Collaboration]] with the rest of the group.
* Keyboardist Dwayne Goettel of [[Skinny Puppy]] died of a heroin overdose while the album ''The Process'' was in the works, and the rest of the group disbanded for several years. Cevin and Ogre reformed the group in 2003 with Mark Walk.

* Weremonkey Gus, one of the [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20060522021029/http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeremonkeyGus founders and original host] of [[The Other Tropes Wiki]] was reported to have died at some point around the beginning of 2009. (However, after ATT forked from TVT in 2012, evidence came to light which suggested that Webmonkey Gus, Fast Eddie, and several other TVT staff members were all [[Sock Puppet]]s for a single person, and "Gus" did not so much die as was retired.)
* Danny Lilithborne, aka Dasrik, JuJube The Tree, blankpage, and Ricardo Arturo Lafaurie, Jr., [http://www.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=220982 passed away January 2nd, 2010] after several weeks in a persistent vegetative state. In his last days, he was continuing work on his highly regarded ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' fanfic "[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1519987/JuJube_the_Tree Negative Zero]", as well as a series of novels called [http://www.succubus.net/wiki/Chateau_Aensland_(saga) Chateau Aensland].
