Das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu.
TransEurope gedenkt der vielen dieses Jahr verstorbenen einzigartigen Künstler mit viel Zuneigung und Dankbarkeit.
Simon Emmerson (Afro Celt Sound System)
Peter Gabriel: “Simon had great breadth of knowledge of all the world of music and once he had set his passion and his heart on something, there was no dissuading him. As most who knew him well can attest, he could be an awkward and obstinate collaborator, but it was always about the mission — not about him — and his generosity and sense of humour would usually shine on through.
Sara Tavares
Tori Amos: "Sinead was a force of nature. A brilliant songwriter and performer whose talent we will not see the like of again. Such passion, such intense presence and a beautiful soul, who battled her own personal demons courageously."
Shane McGowan (The Pogues)
Irlands Präsident Michael D. Higgins: "Shane will be remembered as one of music’s greatest lyricists. So many of his songs would be perfectly crafted poems, if that would not have deprived us of the opportunity to hear him sing them. The genius of Shane’s contribution includes the fact that his songs capture within them, as Shane would put it, the measure of our dreams - of so many worlds, and particularly those of love, of the emigrant experience and of facing the challenges of that experience with authenticity and courage, and of living and seeing the sides of life that so many turn away from."
