Happy birthday to a modern music legend: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and E Street bandleader Bruce Springsteen is 72 

“Candle in the Wind ’97,” Elton John’s tribute to his friend Princess Diana, was released on this day in 1997. It would go on to sell over 33 million copies worldwide.  

Figuratively speaking, Paul McCartney was buried “alive” on this day in 1969, the day “Paul Is Dead” rumors began sweeping the country. It started from a humorous article in a University of Illinois student paper.
