Missed that concert?
Is there a concert you wished you would have gotten to see, but now it will never happen because one or more members of the band or that particular person died?
For me there are definitely two,Queen and of course The Beatles.

Did you know Johnny Cash was one of the first celebrities to keep exotic animals as pets. His favourite was one of the Big Cats which he used to take with him when he took exercise.
Every day he walked the lion...

It's also a little known fact that the inspiration for the song "Ring Of Fire" came to Johnny 24 hours after eating 3 plates of Mexican food loaded with peppers..

That's not the story I heard. Johnny was a big fan of English rugby and became friends with the winger Martin Offiah and one day his agent found out that Martin wanted to speak with him so sent him a message saying Ring Offiah...
P.S. Martin Offiah's nickname in the England team was "Great Balls" Offiah

Re: Missed that concert?
June Carter wrote the lyrics about her relationship with Johnny Cash. She felt being around Cash was like being in a "ring of fire." Cash was involved in drugs and had a very volatile lifestyle. When she wrote this, both June and Johnny were married, but they became singing partners and close friends. By 1967, Cash and Carter were single again and they got married in 1968. Johnny claimed that June saved his life by helping him get off drugs. June died in 2003 after 35 years of marriage to Johnny.
According to the Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 Songs, June Carter wrote this song while driving around aimlessly one night, worried about Cash's wildman ways - and aware that she couldn't resist him. "There is no way to be in that kind of hell, no way to extinguish a flame that burns, burns, burns," she wrote. Not long after hearing June's sister Anita's take on the song, Cash had a dream that he was singing it with Mariachi horns. Cash's version became one of his biggest hits, and his marriage to June 4 years later helped save his life. The song was based on a poem Love's Ring Of Fire, and it was originally recorded in a more folksy manner by June Carter's sister, Anita, as "Love's Fiery Ring."
In her autobiography I Walked the Line, Johnny Cash's first wife, Vivian Cash, denies that June Carter had any part in writing "Ring of Fire." In her words: "She didn't write that song any more than I did. The truth is, Johnny wrote that song, while pilled up and drunk, about a certain private female body part.
