British artist Chris Barker’s annual Beatles-style tribute to lost celebs includes some of the years’s biggest losses, including Cicely Tyson, Phil Spector, Biz Markie, Shock G and more.
“I said I wasn’t going to do one of these again. I’ve said it every year since the first time I did it in 2016 but I really really meant it this time,” Barker tellsin a note accompanying this year’s image, which, as usual, uses the collage format of the Fab Four’scover as a jumping-off point.
But, as usual, people kept asking him when it was coming and he realized it is a kind of catharsis for them, too, so once again he reconsidered and took the plunge. He’s always especially keen on making sure the “Front Four” represent the most iconic deaths that year and save for a Prince/David Bowie-type of name, he again wasn’t sure he had what was needed to make this year’s image.
The trouble is that the international interest in the annual tribute was skewing the nature of what the piece originally was. It was originally my personal take on the year,” he writes, describing how the list has to come from him and not by committee.
