Rockers continue to pay respects to the passing of Queen Elizabeth, including one that you would not expect. John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, who were famous for their anti-royal anthem “God Save the Queen” issued an online tribute to her majesty.
In the History of Rock in 1965 – The Paul McCartney song ‘Yesterday’ was released as a Beatles single in the US. McCartney’s vocals and acoustic guitar together with a string quartet made the first solo release by the band.
In 1991 – Geffen Records threw a party to launch Nirvana’s single ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. The band ended up being thrown out of their own party after starting a food fight.
And in 2005 – The home where Jimi Hendrix grew up in Seattle was saved from demolition. They agreed to move the house to near the cemetery in Renton where he was buried.
