This musician was the first solo male artist since Michael Jackson to have No.1 Billboard Hot 100 songs from 3 different albums, and was the first artist to surpass 100 million listeners on Spotify. He dropped a letter from his stage name because a Canadian band already had the same name. What is this artist’s name?
Here is the answer to yesterday’s question!
The answer is Hyacinth, named after Apollo’s lover Hyacinthus. Apollo, the Greek sun god, was throwing a discus and playing with Hyacinthus, when it accidentally hit him too hard and ended up killing him. Some versions also say that the wind god Zephyrus intentionally deflected the discus to kill him. To honor his memory, Apollo made a flower bloom from Hyacinthus’s blood, and named it hyacinth after him.
As always, the answer will be released tomorrow on the next issue of Aurium Daily - until then, put your answers in the comments!
See you tomorrow!
