Phil Spector died 1/16/21 of natural causes.

[BobH07]

While in prison

[BeatleloverKT]

Phil Spector was a creative genius

who lost his way long ago. He’d been

in prison for murder since 2009.

Wikipedia details what a monster he

was. He was lost to the music world 

long ago. I cannot mourn his loss

in prison. News sources state he

died from Covid complications
