In the land of Abraham
Find something of high value that links Kanye, Bowie, the Beatles and Rihanna
Take the train south and jump off at the horticulturist
From there go east till you reach the coast of England

I think you may possibly have them wrong if you have not figured out the rest from there...

Is Rhianna intentional or a misspelling of Rihanna?

I'm stuck...anybody want to talk about this one?
Land of Abraham:
Canaan?  Illinois?  Other?

Connection between 4 musicians/musical groups...I have no idea.  I didn't even know one of them existed, one of them I've only heard of, and the remaining 2 I'm only passingly familiar with some of their music.

Abraham (biblical) was from Ur which is either the capitol of Babylon (in Iraq or Iran now - I forget) or somewhere to the NW of there, according to many scholars.
The only connection I can see those bands as having is having all played at the same venue or concert somewhere or a recording studio (abby road?). Illinois would make that easier than "somewhere in Mesopotamia".
I have no leads on the horticulturist - there are only a few famous plant people though, I presume.
But none of my Abraham starting points let me head south and get someplace west of England - is that one a play on words or literal?

Well I figured the first line was referring to Lincoln. Didn't get anywhere else though.

What if I added Shirely Bassey to the list of connections?

Well Kanye West makes me think of a direction or the word 'West' in a name.  Not sure about Rihanna (she was born in Leeds, possible small connection to Beatles..?)

I wonder if it is significant that Horticulturist and East are capitalized. Especially since "south" is not.

In this instance no, East was capitalised because it was originally the first word of the line when I shuffled it around.

Same with Horticulturist
