1. Green Day - Amy
This song is a tribute for England born singer - Amy Winehouse. Amy who is an alcohol addict passed away because of alcohol over-doze in her blood. He was found dead in July 23, 2011. It's still fresh in our memory how her mega hits "I'm No Good" rocketed the chart in UK. Her unique style caught up public attention undoubtedly. Unfortunately, that was the minus part of her performance since it came out as result of alcohol influence in her blood and brain - says critiques.

2. Charlie Puth dan Wiz Khalifa - See You Again
Paul Walker death shocked everyone. One of the main casts in the 7th sequel of Fast and Furious passed away in a car accident in November 30th, 2013 - few months before the release of the movie. His brother, Cody Walker, replaced his position in the movie then.

3. The Script - If You Could See Me Now
This song is tribute and dedication for the late Danny O'Donoghue's father who passed away in February 14, 2008. Not Only dedicated a song, Danny also made a roses tattoo on his left arms to remember his dad.

4. Avenged Seven Fold - So Far Away
This American band dedicated the song to their late drummer The Rev. His real name is James Owen Sullivan but the band fans know him as The Rev. The Rev found unbreathing in his house in December 28, 2009. The autopsi performed few days after showed that combination of some drugs found in his blood system- including ethanol, were responsible for his dead.


5. Elton John - Candle in The Wind
The 90's generations barely know who Lady Dianna is. She was Prince Charles wife. They married in 1984 dan many had said that it was the biggest wedding ceremony in the 19th century. At that time, every woman was dreaming to be the lady. But, in the end, tragic story struck her life after she divorced with Prince Charles. The princess passed away in a brutal car accident in Paris, in August 31, 2007.
Later on, Sir Elton John sang "Candle in The Wind" in her "farewell ceremony". Candle in the wind is an old song. And to relate the song to Lady Di, Elton John changed few words in the song.

6. Puff Daddy and Faith Evans - I'll Be Missing You
The song was dedicated to Faith Evans' husband - Christopher George Latore Wallace, more popular known as The Notorious B.I.G or Biggie Smalls. He was shot by unidentified guy in March 9th, 1997. The murderer has been caught yet since then.
