Sono tantissimi i musicisti e le star dello spettacolo che nel weekend hanno voluto rendere omaggio a Chuck, la leggenda del rock scomparso sabato all’età di novant’anni.
Dall’ex-presidente Bill Clinton a Mick Jagger, da Bruce Springsteen a Stephen King, passando per Lenny Kravitz, Keith Richards, Ringo Starr e tantissimi altri. «Sono molto triste. Voglio ringraziarlo per tutta la musica che ci ha regalato», ha scritto Mick Jagger in un tweet, aggiungendo: «Ha illuminato gli anni della mia adolescenza, ha dato vita ai nostri sogni di diventare musicisti e di salire su un palco». «Si è spenta una delle mie luci più grandi» ha invece scritto Keith Richards.

Chuck Berry was rock's greatest practitioner, guitarist, and the greatest pure rock 'n' roll writer who ever lived.

It started with Chuck Berry. He inspired us all. The 1st album I bought was Chuck's "Live at the Tivoli" and I was never the same.
