Interesting life, on plenty of sourcs, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Do you really want the extra links in the hook? - I'd see Pompeji is enough, but who knows what readers don't know. - Siggestions for the article:
- try to avoid short paragraphs
- try harder than "7-time Grammy Award-winning"
- you don't need refs in the lead, as long as it's referenced in the body
- I removed "massive" once, - take a look at editorializing adjectives
- I'd not need the details of their "gala" wedding --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gerda, for your helpful comments, which I've addressed. The wedding coverage is reduced to the bare minimum, but I think some description should be included, to give the reader insight into the person's lifestyle and eclectic tastes. I have no strong feelings about the wikilinks in the hook, one way or the other: those who wish to, can click on 'em for more info but, if not, skip over them.

- Thank you! - I suggest to drop Pompeji, - eruption is more catchy ;) - I'd stay with the article name for the Cathedral, not the English way. Please check for consistency of that. Do we really have only that one image of the cathedral's organ?
