2016: The Year The Music Died

Sunday Express, 01.01.17

“It’s a passing of icons that cannot be replaced,” says media PR agent and author Mark Borkowski.  “They were groundbreaking artists.  George Michael was on the cusp of making some more great records.  You look around at a generation that’s left behind and you realise that many of them are on borrowed time.  I went to the Desert Trip gig in California this year where is was The Who, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Roger Waters, Neil Young and Paul McCartney.  Mick Jagger said from the stage; ‘I know why you’re all here.  You want to catch it before we creak’.  If you would look ahead to the next 30 years and ask is there a David Bowie out there, of course there’s not.”
