Jak podał magazyn „Rolling Stone”, dzisiaj rano odszedł Little Richard. Muzyk, którego prawdziwe imię to Richard Wayne Penniman uważany jest za jednego z pionierów rock and rolla.
Informację o śmierci artysty podał jego syn Danny Jones Penniman. Według jego prawnika powodem zgonu był nowotwór.
Podczas swojej trwającej ponad siedem dekad muzycznej kariery, Little Richard zasłynął m.in. takimi utworami jak „Tutti Frutti”, „Long Tall Sally”, „Rip It Up”, „Lucille” i „Good Golly Miss Molly”. Ochrzczony tytułem „architekta rock’n’rolla” swoją twórczością i stylem na zawsze zapisał się w historii muzyki.
Legendarnego artystę wspominają największe gwiazdy świata showbiznesu.
So sad Little Richard passed away. He married my husband and I. He was really one of the truely great rock and roll singers and one of the rock and roll pioneers. He will be missed💜🙏🏻🌷

A couple weeks ago I randomly decided to read up on the legendary Little Richard on wiki. I learned then about how he developed The Beatles and saved The Rolling Stones pic.twitter.com/lUEvYG1Mew

With his exuberance, his creativity, and his refusal to be anything other than himself, Little Richard laid the foundation for generations of artists to follow. We are so lucky to have had him. Sending all my love to his family and friends today.

I met Little Richard when I was 13 or 14 at Aunt Kizzy’s in Marina Del Ray. The advice he gave me is invaluable. He was such a class act and I will never forget the time I sat at his table and he talked to me like I was his little bro. RIP Little Richard

Little Richard was one of the original rock 'n' rollers– He was THE ORIGINAL GLAM ROCKER, and he took a lot of abuse for being in the first wave. He forged a path for all of us who followed. pic.twitter.com/LKTxaPa2S2
