Shinki Chen was a guitar god known as "Japan's Hendrix"—but just as he was set to become the best of all time, he walked away to become a hairdresser.

Shinki Chen’s career is one of rock’s most fascinating disappearances. In the early ’70s, he was shredding with the kind of fire that made critics call him “Japan’s Hendrix.” But just as he seemed destined for global fame, he simply turned his back on the industry forever. So what happened? Here’s the wild, true story of a guitar legend who walked away right as he was about to explode.

When Diana Ross left The Supremes, her solo debut nearly fell apart—until Berry Gordy’s relentless drive remade her as royalty.

Leaving the most successful girl group in pop history sounds like the kind of move legends make. In reality, Diana Ross’s exit from The Supremes was filled with second-guessing, stalled momentum, and moments where even Motown’s inner circle wondered if the leap had been mistimed. The woman who helped define the sound of the 1960s suddenly had to redefine herself—and that reinvention didn’t come easily.

When Aaliyah’s plane went down in 2001, it ended one of the most promising careers in R&B history—and began an unforgettable myth.

Some careers burn slowly. Aaliyah’s didn’t. Hers moved fast, clean, and confidently—like she knew time was limited and refused to waste a second of it. By 22, she had reshaped R&B, crossed into film, influenced fashion, and positioned herself as the rare pop star who felt both mysterious and completely in control. Then, in August 2001, a short flight turned catastrophic. What followed wasn’t just mourning—it was the birth of a modern myth that refuses to fade.
