Ibarra ii. ( Ivan Iacson) 13 June 2026

Devastated to hear the sudden passing of a beautiful soul, and a truly gifted musician.

Ibarra ii. ( Ivan Iacson)

who passed away 48 hrs ago - 13th June 2026.

Not all the great ones have to be rich or famous.
What a treasure this man was.

Ibarra had a YouTube channel where he played ethereal covers of songs, as well as many of his own beautiful compositions. Masterful.

If you never knew him, go check out his channel.
Youā€™ll be changed.

Fly high my friend.

The Texas-born musician was the lead singer and co-writer of the bandā€™s biggest hits including YMCA, Go West and In The Navy.

Oh, how shamelessly I used to scream along to that music as a drunken teenagerā€¦ apologies for your ears if youā€™re reading this and knew me in Amersfoort back in the 80sā€¦ :hear_no_evil_monkey: ā€¦I also have fond memories of various partiesā€¦ sometimesā€”very occasionallyā€”the disco was actually quite bearable for meā€¦ :sweat_smile:

Died way too young ā€¦

Canadian country star Tommy Hunter dead at 89

Probably not too well known outside of Canada but I expect that some of the performers who played on his TV show would be familiar.
ā€œMr. Hunter welcomed a glittering list of country stars: Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Anne Murray, Trisha Yearwood, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, the Judd family, Hank Snow, Clint Black, Martina McBride and even a young Shania Twain, who then went by Eileen.ā€

My Dad used to like the show and it certainly brings back some old memories.
