Fleetwood Mac poses on the cover of the album Mirage
Summary A well-made music biopic has the power to open new audiences up to artists and bands they would never otherwise have known, and plenty of iconic musicians have yet to receive the big screen treatment. The recent success of movies such as Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis or the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown led me to wonder what other great musicians would benefit from having their life stories depicted in a film.
9 Karen Carpenter One-half of The Carpenters Karen Carpenter’s story never failed to bring a tear to my eye and might just be one of the most tragic tales in pop music. Although Karen had the voice of an angel and found massive success in the music industry, this was not enough to protect her from the horrors of anorexia, as her struggles with eating disorders led to her death at just 32 years old.
7 Ozzy Osbourne Lead singer of Black Sabbath From biting off a bat’s head to becoming a reality TV star, I can’t think of any rock star more suited to a biopic than Black Sabbath’s singer, Ozzy Osbourne. With a life categorized by excess and drug use, the ill effects of Ozzy’s over-the-top lifestyle can certainly be seen today, as he spent 40 years drinking, experimenting with psychedelics, and even taking heroin.
5 Janis Joplin 1960’s blues and rock icon Of all the tragic statistics in rock music, in my opinion, the most heartbreaking was the 27 Club, which was the list of popular artists who died shockingly young at the age of 27. This was the case for legends like Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse.
