Jimmy Page (LED ZEPPELIN), Gene Simmons (KISS), David Coverdale (WHITESNAKE) et Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX) font partie des rockeurs qui ont réagi sur les réseaux sociaux au décès de la légende du rock Little Richard, voir toutes les réactions ci-dessous.
Little Richard, dont le vrai nom était Richard Wayne Penniman, est décédé aujourd'hui (samedi 9 mai) (voir plus de détails ici). Son ancien agent Dick Alen a déclaré à CNN Little Richard est décédé à Nashville avec son frère et son fils à ses côtés. Alen a déclaré à CNN que la cause du décès était liée au cancer des os. Il a déclaré que le musicien était "l'une des légendes " et que Little Richard avait "été malade depuis un bon moment".
Au début des années 50, Little Richard Penniman a combiné l'esprit de la musique d'église, du blues et le swing du jazz de la Nouvelle-Orléans et en a fait quelque chose de tout à fait nouveau, le rock 'n' roll. Lorsque le natif de Macon, en Géorgie, a signé chez Art Rupe's Specialty Records, Little Richard a commencé à développer sa signature et sa personnalité flamboyante. Son premier album légendaire, "Here Little Richard" (1957), était une audacieuse introduction à l'artiste, mettant en vedette les titres emblématiques "Tutti Frutti" et "Long Tall Sally".
Il a vendu plus de 30 millions de disques dans le monde et a influencé tout le monde, depuis THE BEATLES et Otis Redding jusqu'à CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL et David Bowie.
Little Richard a reçu le Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award en 1993, un an après la sortie de son dernier album studio.
Il a été intronisé au Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame en 1986.
Une opération de remplacement de la hanche en 2009 l'a contraint au fauteuil roulant.
"Je suis désolé de ne pas pouvoir faire comme si c'était censé être fait", a-t-il déclaré en public en 2012.
En 2013, il a déclaré qu'il avait «fini» de jouer.
RIP Little Richard, a very sad loss. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

It’s Little Richard’s songs that pioneered rock’n’roll. I got to hear him and his band at the Newport Lounge in Miami and boy were they good. pic.twitter.com/JXgahhJAfk
I was once asked, “If u could meet one person, who would it be?” I always said Little Richard. Because, to me, he was rock & roll’s most joyous, rebellious innovator.
Thank u for planting that seed, Richard. The world is a much happier place thanks to ur music.#RIPLittleRichard pic.twitter.com/kiq2VOZs8O— Foo Fighters (@foofighters) May 9, 2020

Sadly, Little Richard passed away today. A founding Father of Rock And Roll, his contributions simply can’t be overstated. I had the honor of meeting Richard in his later years and was awed by his presence. He told me, “I am the architect of Rock And Roll.” Amen! ..Rest In Peace. https://t.co/ceQuNU6pkF

In the late 1980s, I was walking down Hollywood Blvd, a black limo drove by slowly, Little Richard waved at us from the back window with a crazy look on his face. A giant in Rock and Roll music.

We had the honor and pleasure of working with the great Little Richard when he starred in our video for “shelter me”. He was a true superstar, really funny and a heck of a nice person. #riplittlerichard https://t.co/y8NZeGrKtj

Little Richard was a performer so riveting, so extraordinary, that #JimiHendrix was his sideman and #JamesBrown his opening act. THANKYOU for everything. THANKYOU for rock n roll. https://t.co/9AiUcBaOhk

Today we lost one of the Icons of Rock and Roll...I don't think Rock and Roll would have evolved the way it did without his dynamic and indelible style and performances... truly amazing!
A Legend that will always be loved and remembered as the heart and soul of Rock and Roll. RIP pic.twitter.com/R2A24ac2qN

I met Little Richard twice.
Once, for 30 seconds in an elevator-Hyatt/Riot House on Sunset in 1990.
Then at Kennedy Center Honors in 2000.
A solid hour in the room for rehearsals.
Both times felt like I was standing next to a nuclear reactor. Buzzing for real head to toe.

No @ledzeppelin just listen to the intro of “Rock and roll”sounds a bit like “Keep a Knockin”-met #LittleRichard a few times at the Hyatt on sunset, he was vibrant & talkative . He broke down huge walls and influenced many British lads- in turn that came back here to influence us https://t.co/i2nxFNEtlJ

I grew up on the music of Little Richard. He was one of my fathers favorites and therefore he became one of mine. He was an amazing musician, writer and singer who always delivered a song with an unmatched level of… https://t.co/pQcNAdSVBv

I’m very sorry to hear about Little Richard. He was there at the beginning and showed us all how to rock and roll. He was a such a great talent and will be missed. Little Richard’s music will last forever.

RIP Little Richard. The man who invented It. Elvis popularized it. Chuck Berry was the storyteller. Richard embodied the Spirit of RocknRoll. Maureen and I were so honored being the first marriage he conducted. Were lucky to know him. He lives forever in the Underground Garage.
