We Have Lost More Than 20 Musicians This Year

Last week Donna Summer passed away after her struggle with cancer and on Sunday Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees lost his battle with cancer - this got many people talking about how it always comes in threes...well, I hate to alarm you, but we are way passed 3:  2012 isn't even half over, and we've already lost more than 20 musicians and industry icons.  Check out the list.
