This will get ugly . . . uglier . . . on a daily basis.  Perhaps this thread can serve as a clearinghouse for information about musicians fighting coronavirus.  With a little luck, the vast majority beat it.

Ray Benson (Asleep At The Wheel)

Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne)

Placido Domingo

Manu Dibango RIP

Scarface

Jackson Browne

Adam Schlesinger just passed 

God dammit.  His songwriting was absolutely stellar.  His work on "That Thing You Do" was spot on, and completely transparent.

Fuck.

In the CR thread I saw that Ellis Marsalis has passed. I don't know if it's due to the virus or not. 

Just came here to post that -- yes, it was due to complications from COVID-19.  Fuck this fucking virus.

Fountains of Wayne and The Smithereens are pretty much the center of my power pop universe. Both bands are now essentially toast. Fucking depressing.

RIP.
