Was 2016 the year the music died? In this edition we pay tribute to musical icons like Bowie, Prince and Leonard Cohen (as well as many other talents), and we also celebrate how, for a period of time that will always feel too short, they made the world a little more melodious. This edition is reflecting on a year passed: lamenting about the bad stuff; pondering over the weird stuff; smiling over the good stuff. And we take a deep breath and look forward – to 2017.
