Even though not all of them classify as rock, here of some of my favorite departed musicians:
Aaliyah
Michael Jackson
George Harrison
Marvin Gaye
Andy Gibb
Freddie Mercury
Maurice Gibb (with the Bee Gees)
Teena Marie
Bob Marley
Heavy D.
Notorious B.I.G.
Kurt Cobain
Andrea True
Aaliyah's death was very sad, but nothing compared to that of MJ's, IMO.

I am sorry, that is the way European Radio refers to him, I did not know it was rude.

I don't think its necessarily rude, it was one of his nicknames.
