2016 is shaping up to be a truly terribly year, musically-speaking. It's only April, barely Spring, and we've already lost enough iconic artists to last us a lifetime.

With Prince's tragic passing this week at the young age of 57, it quickly became apparent that 2016 might go down in history as the saddest year for music. And not just due to the deaths of legendary stars like David Bowie, Glenn Frey and Sir George Martin. With Kesha's lawsuit against Dr. Luke and too many heated feuds to count, it might be safe to say that 2016 might actually be the absolute WORST.
