A few quick ones

1) X was the Turkish American co-founder and executive of Atlantic Records and chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and museum, described as "one of the most significant figures in the modern recording industry". He also co-founded the New York Cosmos soccer team of the North American Soccer League.X was injured after a fall at a Rolling Stones performance in New York on October 29, 2006 for the 60th birthday of former US President Bill Clinton.X slipped and hit his head backstage. Although he was initially in stable condition, X soon took a turn for the worse.X slipped into a coma and died later, with his family by his side. No need to ID X ,but tell me which was the biggest tribute to him after his death.
