Legendary rock singer?

Answer:

LORELEI

Hint:

This mythical German siren lured sailors with her voice near the Rhine, sharing her name with a famous 1980s rock band’s hit song.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "legendary." While it seems to hint at a famous rock musician, it’s actually referring to the Lorelei, a mythical siren from German folklore who lured sailors with her singing—like a "rock" (as in a cliff by the Rhine River) and a "singer." The pun ties the idea of a rock star to the legendary figure whose name sounds like it could belong to one.
