For Pye Dubois · 23 Sept 2026

Tom Sawyer wasn't even the deep cut, that chorus just never left. 77 is no age.

For Jeffery Lee · 17 Sept 2026

Tutored him for a stretch through a literacy programme in Alabama, must be six years back now. Quiet, always asked how my exams went before his own case came up.

For Yuri Nakamura · 15 Sept 2026

Her performance in Pacchigi! stayed with me for years. The kind of actor who reminds you why you love cinema in the first place.

For Raffaele Costa · 12 Sept 2026

My grandfather kept Il Duemila on his shelf for thirty years. He said Costa was one of the few politicians who actually thought about what he wrote.

For Gloria Steinem · 2 Sept 2026

My dad introduced me to Gloria's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.

For Yayoi Kusama · 15 Aug 2026

Sending love to everyone grieving today. Yayoi belonged to all of us, and we all lost something.

For Abdullah Ibrahim · 10 Aug 2026

I discovered Abdullah Ibrahim at 16 through a jazz history class and it changed how I heard everything after. His music was a kind of freedom I didn't have words for yet. Rest well, maestro.

For Franco Baresi · 6 Aug 2026

Growing up in Warsaw in the 80s, watching him organize that Milan defence was like watching music. Every movement had meaning. So sad to hear this news.

For Elvis Presley · 30 Jun 2026

Some people leave a mark on the world that doesn't fade. Elvis was one of them.

For 2026 Islamabad mosque bombing · 12 Apr 2026

Sending love from Poland. The whole world grieved with you.

For Leonard Cohen · 25 Feb 2026

Thank you, Leonard. For the joy, the honesty, and for showing up when it mattered.

For Winston Churchill · 29 Nov 2025

Not many people can say they made millions of strangers feel less alone. Winston could.

For Toni Morrison · 10 Jul 2025

The books stay. That's the mercy of it.

For Quincy Jones · 6 Jul 2025

I met Quincy once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.

For Leonard Cohen · 13 Apr 2025

Gone too soon, even at any age. There was so much more to come.

For Bruce Lee · 14 Mar 2025

Some people leave a mark on the world that doesn't fade. Bruce was one of them.

For Coco Chanel · 13 Mar 2025

Lighting a candle from the States. Gabrielle meant a great deal to a lot of us here.
