The music industry was rocked by the recent passing of former One Direction member Liam Payne, who died young at the age of 31 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. But apart from the "Teardrops" hitmaker, many more recording artists died this year, including the likes of country singer Toby Keith, heavy metal artist Paul Di'Anno, and Scottish DJ Jackmaster.
Based on Billboard's updated list of musicians who have died so far this year, the world has lost a total of 106 artists. Nevertheless, the music and songs of these talented individuals are bound to live on for generations to come as they have already cemented their names in the industry.
