Latest Covid death toll among musicians
RIPCircumstances suggest that we may need to resume this list, last updated in February 2022:
481 Mingus arranger Cy Johnson, 92
482 Guitarist Stuart Anstis, 48
483 Hip-hop DJ Kay Slay, 55
484 Indian composer Bhupinder Singh, 82
485 Beijing opera star Chu Lanlan, 39
486 Russian composer Eduard Artemyev, 85
The numbers are the sum of musician deaths from Covid since March 2020.
Apparently more people died of covid this summer than last summer. So it has never been away.
And yet you condemned the Metropolitan Opera’s mask policy just yesterday like it was a police state.

No mention of how many died of cancer, heart attack, obesity, suicide, or simply old age and downright loneliness in life – the silent killers as covid rumbles on as if covid is the only killer of life – with covid or of covid.
So five musicians have died of Covid since February 2022? Isn’t that actually a pretty okay figure?
