2016年に亡くなった著名人たちが登場するビートルズ『Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band』風のトリビュート・アートワーク。11月に一度公開されましたが、その後も訃報が続いたため、このアートワークを手がけた英国のアートディレクター、クリス・バーカーがアップデート版を公開しています。音楽関連ではレオン・ラッセルやグレッグ・レイクらが追加されています。
クリスによれば、アップデートするつもりはなかったものの、訃報を伝えるツイートが次々に投稿されたため考えを改めて制作することにしたと説明しています。
このトリビュート・アートワークには、ミュージシャン、俳優、スポーツマンなど40人以上が登場。音楽界からはデヴィッド・ボウイ、プリンス、レミー・キルミスター(2015年没)、ジョージ・マーティン、グレン・フライ、キース・エマーソン、モーリス・ホワイト、レナード・コーエン、プリンス・バスター、デッド・オア・アライヴのピート・バーンズほかが登場しています。
