Professor Longhair was set to open for The Clash on a national tour to support what would be his hit album, Crawfish Fiesta, when he died unexpectedly at 61.

Folk singer Pete Seeger was likely the last person to ever hear bluesman Big Bill Broonzy sing. He recorded the private performance and the next day, doctors nicked Broonzy’s vocal chords while performing cancer surgery. The bluesman never sang (or talked above a whisper) again.
