This reimagined Sgt. Pepper album cover is both brilliant and heartbreaking

Artist Chris Barker has both impressive skills and, it seems, unending patience, as he has for the third year produced a moving tribute to the big names we’ve lost over the past twelve months. His Sgt. Pepper album covers gather the late stars into the saddest collages imaginable.

We were worried there’d be nobody left after 2016’s version, featuring David Bowie, Prince, Victoria Wood and Jo Cox, among many, many others.

2017 saw us saying goodbye to Sir Roger Moore, Tom Petty, John Noakes and a lot more, besides.

Sadly, Chris had no shortage of subjects for 2018’s version.
