Inimitable and beautiful voice too. Such a huge loss 💔

Years ahead of her time, she performed this at The Palladium. And when I listen to my favourite Carpenters song, This Masquerade, her drums are such a key part. Broke my heart when she died.

oh wow I had no idea this was The Palladium. This Masquerade is my favourite too - one of the few tracks she actually recorded the drums on. She continues to inspire drummers 🥁

Anorexia such a misunderstood illness back then truly a sad loss to music, but her music and talent will live on forever

Violet Smith was another drumming pioneer. She sadly passed away a couple of years ago, but she was still a bit of a ⭐️ in this interview, when she was 102 years old!

Totally agree with you, she was absolutely brilliant on the drums and also a singer , such a sad loss really 💙

Such an incredibly talented woman. It's awful just how badly she was treated at the time. She reminds me of Lena Zavaroni, another huge talent that struggled massively and died far too young.

Great drummer, fantastic voice. Even after 40 years her vocals provoke chills and emotions like no other.

45 years since Karen died. February 4th 1983. After all this time she still remains one of the greatest. Her voice was one in a million and she will never be forgotten.

Cardi b era and tour really confirmed that she was right about imaginary playerz. Even tho it wasn’t single material, it needed to be said and understood from the start about where the difference lies she’s been showing everyday why she’s one of the biggest female rappers of all time.

I’ve told you time and time again that $OPSEC is not one you should be fading! 💎 I mentioned it at 6M MC on All Time High and it’s been up only since then. Here’s a quick snippet of my thoughts about the project and why I think it will do well 👇

I need Beyoncé to make a documentary like Life Is But A Dream again. It’s been 12 years since she released it, and I’m sure that with her maturity and all the projects she’s done, it would be amazing to hear everything she has to say from her perspective.

She showed up but not for her or to get anything from this, she did it for us, she genuinely wants to say thank you to all of us and when she said she wanted to hug and kiss every single one of us she meant it. She was happy, she was smiling all the time, she had some good laughs and I’m sure she had fun tonight. She’s one of a kind and so is her wonderful mother. #zeudiners #zeudixmadrid #ZeudiFanMeetMadrid

Today marks 3 years since the passing of Lynyrd Skynyrd's iconic guitarist Gary Rossington. Here’s playing "Free Bird" for the final time. It gives you goosebumps to think that it would be the last time and that no one would ever imagine it. RIP Gary. All the original members are up there together now.

“Hey, I’ve got a story for you. My coworker told me today about an incident that happened on March 28 (which, admittedly, she took far too long to mention). She ordered food and a coffee through Uber. When the driver arrived, security cameras captured him cleaning a spill from the coffee lid by licking it. He then blew his nose into a napkin and used that same napkin to wipe the lid, just seconds before handing it to her. Security stopped her from drinking it before it was too late. I have video of the incident and photos of the driver. I thought it was important for people to be aware that their food may not always be safe, especially when it isn’t in a sealed bag. My coworker contacted Uber. They said they would investigate and offered her a refund, but nothing further. EPS said it was a civil matter that has to go through Uber.” - Submitted in the DMs.
