December 18th, 2010 - 4:50 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
Right after Captain Beefheart passed away on the 17th of December, several of his fans and followers within the American music industry too to the social networking site Twitter to express their condolences towards the singer and his family. While Linda Perry heaped praises on the Magic Band, of which Captain Beefheart was the frontman, Diva Zappa, the daughter of Captain Beefheart’s best friend Frank Zappa tweeted that she was very saddened at the sudden turn of events. Akron Family on the other hand wished the soul of the legendary musician and painter a safe journey to heaven.
Don Van Vliet has nourished America’s art industry for more than four decades, inspiring several artists over the span of his career. A mixture of jazz, rock, Chicago blues and his own innovations was what formed the Captain Beefheart style. It was Frank Zappa who suggested his stage name to Don Van Vliet.
