Songs made about or for dead or damaged musicians

I just found out that Elegia by New Order was made for Ian Curtis.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd for the mental illness suffered by Syd Barrett.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic dedicated to Jimi Hendrix.

Obviously, American Pie by Don McLean...

Any other ones, preferably the more obscure ones?

Mourn by Apoptygma Berzerk is reportedly about kurt cobain.
Patti Smith's About a Boy is also supposed to be about cobain.

Tomorrow Wendy was written by Andy Priboy (of Wall of Voodoo) and performed by Concrete Blonde, and while the subject isn't specifically named it's supposedly about someone in the LA music scene in the 80s who contracted AIDS and decided to kill herself.
