Another artist gone too soon, very soon in this case, as Dolores O'Riordan was only 46 years old.

RIP, Dolores.

Back to my "Related to Portugal" series, this time with something completely different, Carmen Miranda.

Although most people think she was Brazilian she was born in a small Portuguese village and always kept Portuguese nationality.

To end (for now) my "related to Portugal" series, the main guitar player from Extreme, Nuno Bettencourt.

Nuno was born in the Azores, learned how to play guitar with one of his older brothers, Luis, who is also a musician.

He sometimes includes a Portuguese flag in Extreme's shows or videos, as we can see in the video below.

Not my favourite style, but I heard this song a few days ago on the radio, and I think this is a good song and the singer, Aurea (Portuguese), sings it very well and has a great voice.

And now, for something completely different, a song that got into my head today, so why not post it here?

[ArMaP]

Another song that, somehow, got into my head today.

This artist gone WAY too soon.




Swedish DJ Avicii has died in Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28.

His representative said in a statement: "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii.

"He was found dead in Muscat, Oman, this Friday afternoon local time, 20 April.

"The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given."

In 2016, Avicii retired from live performing due to health reasons, having suffered from acute pancreatitis owing, in part, to excessive drinking. In 2014, Avicii had his gallbladder and appendix removed.

He was best known for hit songs like Wake Me Up and Levels, both of which peaked at No 1 on the Billboard list of top dance club songs. Twice-nominated for a Grammy award for best dance recording, Avicii's debut album True, released in 2013, premiered in the top 10 in 10 different countries. The DJ, who was born in Stockholm, was regularly ranked in the top five of Forbes' list of highest-paid DJs before his retirement. In 2012, he became the first electronic musician to headline New York's esteemed Radio City Music Hall.

In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Avicii reflected on his decision to stop touring, explaining how multiple hospitalizations and life on the road began to take their toll. "None of us today can friging handle our emotions – most of us are running around being reactive," he said. "That's why I had to stop touring, because I couldn't read my emotions the right way."

He added: "The whole thing was about success for the sake of success. I wasn't getting any happiness anymore."
