In Memoriam: 2025 Rock and Roll Deaths / Ep. 72

About this episode

The episode honors rock and pop artists who passed away in 2025, reflecting on their contributions to music.

As we enter 2026, we dedicate a podcast episode to remembering the rock and roll artists (and some pop music icons, too) who passed away in 2025. We remember some of the greats and the overlooked individuals who made an impact on music - and RockPopandRoll, particularly in rock music. From Ozzy to Sly to the architect of bubble gum music, we remember and listen to some of the great music they created that lives on.
