So, this isn't hard. Its a variation of 20 questions. I'm going to think of a person. This person must be dead, and must be famous enough that people can ask questions to figure it out. (No using your Great Aunt Betty, or whatever.) This is a real-world sort of game, so we're not asking about anyone's dead twink.
I'm thinking of a dead person, and you all can ask yes/no style questions until you figure out who I'm thinking of. The first person who correctly guesses the answer may pick the next dead person. There should be one hint provided at the start.
My hint is: This person has an unexpected musical connection. The Unexpected part is important.
