Gone too soon. These stars’ lives were cut short by tragic deaths.
What might some of the rock 'n' roll era's greatest stars have achieved and what might they look like now, if they had not died before their time? To explore these tantalizing questions, Sachs Media Group partnered with photo restoration and manipulation company Phojoe to create this gallery of images.
Nothing can bring our favorite musicians back from the dead, but the following awesome photos from Sachs Media Group might be the next best thing. They created the images below to imagine exactly what our angels in rock ‘n’ roll heaven would look like today…and we’re not just talking about Elvis sightings!

Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix might have all died at 27, but today they’d be in their 70s. Would you recognize them if you saw them on the street today?! These photos are eerily accurate! I can't stop thinking that old Jimi Hendrix looks like Morgan Freeman, what do you think?
It is obvious that none can be back from the dead, but it is also obvious that those people have left a great legacy to the following generations and their tribute to music has helped shape generations of music fans! Physically they are absent but their voices are still alive and make our days brighter!
