Yeah true.
Biggie
Jeff Buckley
Ian Curtis
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Does Michael Jackson count? He was peaking again just before he died.

If he had died right after the Berlin trilogy that would've been his prime.

This. SS were just starting to hit their stride when he died.
That was in 2012, and I don't think a major musician has died at their peak since then.
Mitch Lucker was the last
Amy Winehouse before that
Tupac before that.
You could make the case that Cobain was already past his prime even though he was fairly young.

This is the last mainstream one to die in her prime
>>64241688
Nah Cobain was definitely in his prime.
>>64241688
Aaliyah was between Tupac and Winehouse.

I don't think Broadcast ever had a real 'commercial zenith', but she was cut down when she started going more deeply down the psychedelic well. I love '...Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age'. R.I.P.
