Time now for the very last part of our series exploring Newstalk’s 20 most influential moments of the past two decades.

Everyday we’ve been looking back at different moments, chosen by you, the Newstalk listeners.

Today, we talk about the deaths of some of the world’s greatest musicians.

In the last twenty years, the world has lost icons like David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Leonard Cohen, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Prince, George Michael and many more.

Our reporter Henry McKean met some Irish superfans and looked back into the archives.
