To Those We Lost in 2018, Part Three

KEXP is celebrating the lives of all these artists on the air, today, Thursday, December 13th from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST. Join DJs John Richards, Kevin Cole, Cheryl Waters, and show producers Jacob Webb and Isaac Kaplan-Woolner as they share stories and songs from those we lost in 2016, as well as those in late 2015 who passed after last year's tribute show. Below, we've gathered videos from just a few of these memorable musicians. They may be gone, but their music will live on forever. (Check out parts one and two, as well.)
