10 Musicians Who Died In 2019

1. Juice Wrld

The youngest musician we've mentioned so far, Juice Wrld's death is even more tragic when you consider that he was only 21 years of age, passing just days after his latest birthday.

Real name Jarad Anthony Higgins, Juice was a rising star in the rap scene, someone who was pegged as one of the genre's next heavy hitters. At the time of his death, he had released two studio albums - one in 2018 and one in 2019 - which both performed incredibly well, with his most recent one landing at the top of the Billboard 200 in March of last year.

On 8 December 2019, Juice boarded a private jet on its way to Chicago, and was said to have consumed "several unknown pills" while the plane was in the air. When it landed, he began convulsing, before being pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
