Sixto Rodriguez, 81
The late Detroit-born musician and star of the acclaimed documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”, Rodriguez, passed away at the age of 81. Having started his expedition in the music world in 1967, Rodriguez wasn’t welcomed with success upon its arrival, causing him to part ways with his record label. Amazingly, Rodriguez lived in ignorance of his own fame for many years with very little knowledge of him in his home country, even though his music was adored there. Furthermore, rumor had it that he took his own life during a performance in the 1970s, however, that was proven to be false.
