Waylon Jennings was making music history before he even started to record. And all it took was the flip of a coin. He was and still is one of the greatest.
It was tongue and cheek....no one would mean to say something like that .Waylon was Blessed with a great career and a loving family and friends. RIP W.J.
I thank my Mama, to this day, because she LOVED Waylon Jennings. I used to listen to the albums she played on her console stereo, when I was a little girl. Mama had every album Waylon put out and was a member of his Fan Club. She and Daddy took me to see Waylon in Houston, Tx at a place called the Catacombs. Seems like it was in 1972. I was 15, Waylon looked so young and handsome. I had a crush on him. Still play his music today; I'm 65 now. Mama's been gone for 5 years. Alzheimer's. I used to pick her up from the Assisted Living facility she was living in, and take her for long rides in her truck, so she could listen to Waylon. She didn't talk for the last three years of her life, but she sure did smile when I played Waylon. I still have her truck too. So every time I hear Waylon Jennings, I think of my Mama and smile, and get a little teary-eyed as well. I bet she's up there listening to Waylon, Marty Robbins, Charlie Pride, Don Williams, Hank, Lefty Frizzell, Patsy, Merle, Old "No-Show Jones," Johnny, Conway, Jim Reeves, Tom T., Ernest Tubb, Buck Owens and Loretta....thanks Mama, I still listen to them too.
According to many interviews Waylon stated many times that he regretted the remarks every day of his life. Nobody in their right mind thinks Waylon mean’t this but I have no doubt he went to his grave wishing he hadn’t said it. I think that it’s being overlooked that Waylon and Holly were very young kids who were thrust into show business early. He should have taken that into consideration. Young, immature people often say some things that were mean’t to be a joke but often go over the line. R.I.P. Waylon. I have no doubt Buddy and you are sitting somewhere with your guitars and laughing over the incident as we speak. Two great legends. Love them both
Would that apply to telling someone about to take the stage to break a leg? Sometimes we say things that if they do happen make us feel terrible for a long time. How about smiling and telling someone to go play and win the lottery and then they do. What next?
I loved this man He was definitely one of the best n the business.. He was a great artist & a great musician. You will always live thru your music. R.I.P Waylon. Gone but never forgotten.
I had the pleasure of serving waylon and Jesse lunch one summer afternoon at my first job ..he was down home good ole boy ..very nice and very good looking in person .I was very nervous but it is great memory ..RIP Waylon
This is a true story. The last thing Waylon Jennings said to Buddy Holly 2/3/59 in the wee hours. He once said he almost killed himself when he learned what happened that morning.
What I didn't know until recently was years later, when Reba McEntire lost her band mates in a plane crash (and like Waylon, she was supposed to be on the plane.) Waylon counseled her about the guilt and the pain that comes from something like that.
In Reba autobiography she talks about the crash and how she went onstage afterwards and preformed her song ‘If I only had known’ How she did it was incredible
The guilt about the words he said might have faded - but the survivor's guilt was a lot worse, I would guess. Poor guy. I admired and respected his music very much, even though I don't generally like country music.
Yes I think if Buddy Holly had been able to, he wouldn't have wanted Waylon to suffer guilt his whole life over this careless remark. It just adds to the tragedy. But it just shows how careful we have to be saying such things even in jest.
Waylon Jennings is a country legend one of my favs Waylon was great classic country music singer thanks for sharing the news and facts on Waylon regret too the grave thanks
It had to be tough on Waylon. It was just playful banter between friends, and obviously he didn't really want anything like that to happen. But things like that you never forget, and I'm sure it haunted him for the rest of his life.
I think this video is missing some context, as well as the wording of Buddy and Waylon's last joking words to each other. The bus they had been on had been so cold that one band member was hospitalized with frost bite. When Buddy Holly chartered the plane, it was meant for his band mates to take the other two seats, Waylon and Tommy Allsup. Waylon gave his seat to the Big Bopper because he felt bad that J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson had the flu. Allsup agreed to flip a coin with Ritchie Valens for his seat for no good reason other than it being a friendly challenge to flip for it (and lost). Buddy made fun of the fact that both his band mates gave up their seats. That's when he smiled at Waylon and said, “Well, I hope your ol’ bus freezes up!”. Waylon joked back, “Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes!”. They smiled & joked at each other, were teasing each other. At least that's the way the story has been told. This video left the "ol'" part out of their joking statements. Waylon was ribbing Buddy back about saying "ol' bus," by saying "ol' plane". It was all in good fun at the time. It was just friends teasing each other, sparked by Buddy being surprised that both his band mates passed on taking the plane with him, after days of arduous conditions on the bus. Buddy didn't make the arrangement to give Waylon's seat up. Waylon gave it to The Big Bopper, and they asked Buddy if he was okay with that. Also, Buddy didn't charter the plane because of not wanting to sit "elbow to elbow" with the other band members. It was because the conditions on the bus had been excruciating, and yes, to get some rest, but also to gain some time to do laundry before the next show. A separate eery factoid was that after Ritchie Valens won the coin toss with Tommy Allsup for his seat, Ritchie supposedly said it was the first time he's ever won anything. It sounds like the combination of Waylon and Allsup both giving up their seats, after Buddy found a way to get them a flight, caused Buddy to rib Waylon about it, and Waylon was just teasing back.
He survived by giving up his seat to the Big Bopper, and made a flippant remark to Buddy Holly. Two reasons his head must have been in absolute agony. Yet out of this grew a unique Legend. Fate is remarkable.🤔
it's sort of the same feeling when we're mad at someone and then they die. or when we're remorseful about something we've done to someone who has passed away & we're not able to make amends.
Honestly I believe the comments they made to each other they were only joking around but that's something that lays on your mind for a long time after an event like that and it's a friend. Yes it hurt him emotionally as Buddy Holly was his friend and Mentor as you stated. And Wayland is human like the rest of us of course it laid on his mind and I'm sure he regretted it. I'm sure he also was able to deal with it one way or another and it may not have been the best way. But you never forget a thing like that.
I like Jennings.. Buddy Holly is great too. As soon as you said the winter tour the first thing I thought of the group of group, of people of the great singers
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Buddy and Waylon were just jibing each other, I believe neither of them thought about what they said, it was one upmanship. Poor Waylon, would have never wished ill of his best mate and "no Waylon would have never forgiven himself for saying that". I love ❤️ his music and also Buddy's music. God has forgiven 🙏 waylon by sending him to Heaven. Bless.
With a name like Waylon Jennings, how can you not see an up and coming star? Holly seen something in him, but what a transformation Waylon turned into, I think Buddy would be more then proud of his buddy Waylon,
I’m sure those words haunted him until he died. Although he didn’t actually want it to happen. He was just kidding around. Who would have thought that the plane would crash? I’m sure he wondered if Buddy and the others were angry with him. I’d like to think that they did. Be careful what you say to someone before leaving.
What if the band members bus had broken down and they all froze to death. Just a thought! Would Buddy have been blamed for his comment to Waylon. You probably would have never have heard anything about their comments to each other. Waylon is the greatest RIP my friend.
If I was in Walon’s shoes, that would have messed my head up too if I told a friend I hope your plane crashed, and then it does. I know it wasn’t said in malice or with mean intentions, it was all in joke, but anyone with a good heart it would hurt them to the core if what they said came true.
I saw an interesting interview with Dion of Dion and the Belmonts and he seems like a very, very straight shooter. He says that a lot of the accounts of what went down, regarding the airplane ride (and the exchange claimed by Waylon) didn't happen. I mean, who knows? He certainly didn't seem to have any beef with Waylon - he just said there was never an ounce of question about who would be on the plane, and, that Waylon was never offered a seat. I would recommend watching that video - it's on UA-cam, somewhere.
Waylon said that probably when Dion was not in sight. Dion could not financially afford to get on that plane because the cost was $35.00 and that would have paid for Dion's parents rent in the BRONX in 1959
Shit aside , Waylon Jennings was a Great Performer and Singer He is always on my cd list I'm my car and van as is Willie Nelson. and Johnny Cash plus a few others !
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I heard an interview with Jessi Coltier that she actually led him to Christ while on his death bed. She asked him Are you ready to become God's man? and he (like king Nicodemous in the Bible asked what he had to do to get to heaven and she led him to Christ. She wrote a book about her husband Waylon...Waylon worked hard all his life in the music industry and thought that you had to work for your Salvation. Jessi was raised in a pentacostal church and new the scripture and knew that it is by GRACE that you are saved---not through works.
Sure he did,, example. When Rebas McIntire band crashed back in the day losing their lives Reba was in a tailspin over it because she thought she was partially responsible for the loss,, Ole waylon knowing this took her aside and explained to her his own circumstances and once she accepted the fact that she never caused any part of the disaster, so neither could waylon on buddy's tragic end,, although the pain never goes away the guilt will and did,
The FACT is that the Pilot Roger Peterson ws NOT familiar with the Gyro in the airplane they took off in that night. He HAD instrument training but the Gyro's screen was the opposite of the Gyro he trained on for instrument flight. The plane was in the air only a few minutes and crashed into the ground at high speed. They were all killed on impact. The Crash had nothing to do with Waylon. Too bad he blamed himself for the crash it wasn't his fault.
What an immature, nasty thing to say - no wonder he lived with guilt, he earned it. It was publicized he had given up his seat to the Big Bopper. Apparently Buddy made the arrangement that got Waylon angry.
Men talk to each other like that all the time. No harm is meant by it, just a way to see who can upstage the other. Buddy started with what he said and the rest is history.
I disagree that he deserved to feel guilty about it forever. His words aren't what made the plane crash, and, obviously, if he knew it would happen he wouldn't have said it. Waylon no doubt eviscerated himself over it. No need for anyone else to pile it on.
I don't think this video got the context or the wording correct. The bus they had been on had been so cold that one band member was hospitalized with frost bite. When Buddy Holly chartered the plane, it was meant for both his band mates to take the other two seats, Waylon and Tommy Allsup. After Waylon gave his seat to the Big Bopper and Allsup agreed to flip a coin with Ritchie Vallens for his seat (and lost), Buddy made fun of the fact that both his band mates gave up their seats. That's when he smiled at Waylon and said, “Well, I hope your ol’ bus freezes up!”. Waylon joked back, “Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes!”. They smiled & joked at each other, were teasing each other. At least that's the way the story has been told. This video left the "ol'" part out of Waylon's statement. He was ribbing Buddy back about saying "ol' bus," by saying "ol' plane". It was all in good fun at the time. It was just friends teasing each other, sparked by Buddy being amazed that both his band mates passed on taking the plane with him, after days of arduous conditions on the bus. And no, Buddy didn't make the arrangement to give Waylon's seat up. Waylon gave it to The Big Bopper, and they asked Buddy if he was okay with that.
Waylon Jennings' past is VERY mixed, and his attitude toward Buddy Holly varied widely. As portrayed in "The Buddy Holly Story", he once made a very racist remark to Holly about Holly's Latina wife, something about Holly, around Thanksgiving, " liking dark meat". No doubt there were other foul things he did, he was trying to forget with all his drinking and drug abuse. Unless you're only interested in producing puff pieces about entertainment celebrities, you might want to present a more balanced portrayal of famous people, who, it turns out, had flaws, just like the rest of us.

Love u so much hoss❤❤❤❤debbie
It was tongue and cheek....no one would mean to say something like that .Waylon was Blessed with a great career and a loving family and friends. RIP W.J.
He was one of the main reason I became a country music fan.
Didn’t know about him until the late 80’s
Love his music even today
I thank my Mama, to this day, because she LOVED Waylon Jennings. I used to listen to the albums she played on her console stereo, when I was a little girl.

I used to pick her up from the Assisted Living facility she was living in, and take her for long rides in her truck, so she could listen to Waylon. She didn't talk for the last three years of her life, but she sure did smile when I played Waylon. I still have her truck too.

I learned a long time ago that you never wish ill upon someone else because it always comes back on you 10 fold.
What goes around comes around...karma!
Would that apply to telling someone about to take the stage to break a leg? Sometimes we say things that if they do happen make us feel terrible for a long time. How about smiling and telling someone to go play and win the lottery and then they do. What next?
That is so true !!!
Shut up.
True. Never wanted to do that .
I loved this man He was definitely one of the best n the business.. He was a great artist & a great musician. You will always live thru your music. R.I.P Waylon. Gone but never forgotten.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Waylon! May he find peace 🙏
This was a tragedy that hit me hard, I had not known that he was sick. Hated to see him die at such a young age. Loved his music since the 70's.
I had the pleasure of serving waylon and Jesse lunch one summer afternoon at my first job ..he was down home good ole boy ..very nice and very good looking in person .I was very nervous but it is great memory ..RIP Waylon
We're happy to know that you had a chance to meet Waylon. Thank you for sharing your life story. Which song of his appealed to you the most?
A legend
This is a true story. The last thing Waylon Jennings said to Buddy Holly 2/3/59 in the wee hours. He once said he almost killed himself when he learned what happened that morning.
Waylon is one of my musical heroes. I loved reading his autobiography in audio book form narrated by Waylon himself!
Definitely a damn good book
What I didn't know until recently was years later, when Reba McEntire lost her band mates in a plane crash (and like Waylon, she was supposed to be on the plane.) Waylon counseled her about the guilt and the pain that comes from something like that.
In Reba autobiography she talks about the crash and how she went onstage afterwards and preformed her song
‘If I only had known’
How she did it was incredible

Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. May Waylon find peace 😥
I honestly don't think he ever forgave himself. I'm sure they are all up there doing a lot of awesome music. God Bless Them All
That would have to haunt a person for their entire life. I'm sure Buddy never once faulted Waylon for making that flippant remark. RIP you both.
Waylon Jennings had nothing to feel guilty about. That plane crash soon after he made that joke is just a really ugly, unfortunate coincidence.
Yes I think if Buddy Holly had been able to, he wouldn't have wanted Waylon to suffer guilt his whole life over this careless remark. It just adds to the tragedy. But it just shows how careful we have to be saying such things even in jest.
Waylon Jennings is a country legend one of my favs Waylon was great classic country music singer thanks for sharing the news and facts on Waylon regret too the grave thanks
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Waylon. Which song of his appealed to you the most?
He was one of my favorites.
We're happy to know that you love Waylon! Which song of his appealed to you the most?
His voice was pure perfection. I loved his feistiness.
It had to be tough on Waylon. It was just playful banter between friends, and obviously he didn't really want anything like that to happen. But things like that you never forget, and I'm sure it haunted him for the rest of his life.

On his album “Ive Always Been Crazy” he does a very nice tribute to Buddy Holly
Them words probably haunt him for the rest of his life. Sad 😔
We agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
He survived by giving up his seat to the Big Bopper, and made a flippant remark to Buddy Holly. Two reasons his head must have been in absolute agony. Yet out of this grew a unique Legend. Fate is remarkable.🤔
My Dad named my little boy Waylan. , After Mr Waylan Jennings. One of my favorite singers.
You're a true fan! Thank you for sharing your life story. Which song of Waylon is your favorite?
it's sort of the same feeling when we're mad at someone and then they die. or when we're remorseful about something we've done to someone who has passed away & we're not able to make amends.
RIP Waylon Jennings, you were born a rambling man!
I Remember That! Waylon Meant It, As An Off The Cuff, Joke!!!! There's No WAY, He Could Have Known!!!!!!! FATE, IS JUST FUNNY LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Rest in paradise Waylon Jennings and buddy Holly 🙏
Interesting video Waylon Jennings and Buddy Holly are my favorites were thankful to get to know Waylon Jennings 🎸 on 👍🇺🇸

I miss them both, They were great! Reminds me that I really like some things about Texas!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Words said can never be taken back. Very powerful lesson here. If that had been me saying that, I would have been a wreck 4 a long time.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
He kind of was he definitely believed for a long time that crash was his fault
He meant no harm but I’m sure that haunted him until the end. I know it would really bother me if those were the final words I spoke to a friend.
That is why I am careful not to say those kind of things. Regrets are awful!
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Which comes in at second place?
Guilt is a bugger........you can try and reason....but it's always there. Self forgiveness .........just keep at it. 💖
Buddy and Waylon were just jibing each other, I believe neither of them thought about what they said, it was one upmanship. Poor Waylon, would have never wished ill of his best mate and "no Waylon would have never forgiven himself for saying that". I love ❤️ his music and also Buddy's music.

With a name like Waylon Jennings, how can you not see an up and coming star? Holly seen something in him, but what a transformation Waylon turned into, I think Buddy would be more then proud of his buddy Waylon,
Everyone has always said something like the words exchanged that night. No one really wishes it on people
There's an old saying, be careful what you wish for. It's going to come back and bite you.
"Just the good ol' boys. . ."
R.I.P. W.J.
“They should always give you one chance to do things your way. If you fail it wouldn’t be anyone’s fault but yours”- waylon jennings
In my ten year tour in the Navy having flown commercial and MAC flights it never occurred to me that this would happen.
Are you kidding ?....NO he probably never got over that comment, especially as Buddy Holly was his mentor.
Waylon Jennings helped a young Hank Jr in 77 in muscle shoals Alabama. My dads was BF with Rick Hall..
I’m sure those words haunted him until he died. Although he didn’t actually want it to happen. He was just kidding around. Who would have thought that the plane would crash? I’m sure he wondered if Buddy and the others were angry with him. I’d like to think that they did. Be careful what you say to someone before leaving.
I’m sure Buddy and the others forgave him. Rest In Peace Waylon.
yes but never completely, he never forgot
Who wouldn't regret it.. His legacy makes him still alive in our hearts. He to me would be that, He is still the king of country music...
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
He was a Great Singer
Absolutely! Which song of Waylon appealed to you the most?
I hate videos like this making him sound bad
The guys a fuckin legend
What if the band members bus had broken down and they all froze to death. Just a thought! Would Buddy have been blamed for his comment to Waylon. You probably would have never have heard anything about their comments to each other. Waylon is the greatest RIP my friend.
I don't believe "Time heals all wounds" You can work out the "wound" in the time you have..
Loved his show on TNN in the 90s What a Talent!
Yes, old news. R.i.P. Waylon. R.I.P. Merle
The day the music died happened 30 years to the day of my birthday. I was born Feb. 3, 1989 the 30th anniversary.
52 Albums Fifty Two Albums ! simply WOW.
If I was in Walon’s shoes, that would have messed my head up too if I told a friend I hope your plane crashed, and then it does. I know it wasn’t said in malice or with mean intentions, it was all in joke, but anyone with a good heart it would hurt them to the core if what they said came true.
Death is always for the living. You think Buddy Holly thinks about that stuff.
I saw an interesting interview with Dion of Dion and the Belmonts and he seems like a very, very straight shooter. He says that a lot of the accounts of what went down, regarding the airplane ride (and the exchange claimed by Waylon) didn't happen. I mean, who knows?

Amazing How do you manage to put an advert on mid sentence.
Didn't know that he knew Buddy Holly
Shit aside , Waylon Jennings was a Great
Performer and Singer He is always on my cd list I'm my car and van as is Willie Nelson. and Johnny Cash plus a few others !
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I do not think Waylon was unable to forgive himself unless he found God, which I hope he did.
I think he found God. But he never did forgive himself for it. He said it was the biggest regret of his life, and I'd believe it.
is god lost?
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. May Waylon find peace 🙏
I heard an interview with Jessi Coltier that she actually led him to Christ while on his death bed. She asked him Are you ready to become God's man? and he (like king Nicodemous in the Bible asked what he had to do to get to heaven and she led him to Christ. She wrote a book about her husband Waylon...Waylon worked hard all his life in the music industry and thought that you had to work for your Salvation. Jessi was raised in a pentacostal church and new the scripture and knew that it is by GRACE that you are saved---not through works.
Sure he did,, example. When Rebas McIntire band crashed back in the day losing their lives Reba was in a tailspin over it because she thought she was partially responsible for the loss,, Ole waylon knowing this took her aside and explained to her his own circumstances and once she accepted the fact that she never caused any part of the disaster, so neither could waylon on buddy's tragic end,, although the pain never goes away the guilt will and did,
Oh come on, it was a good natured harmless joke. How could he have known what would happen
Where can I find the actual audio from the interview
It's easy just look up Wayon Jennings on Buddy Holly's death.
No Waylon never forgave himself f[r saying that to Buddy Holly
Waylon was only joking when he said he hoped Buddy Holly's plane crashed. He was absolutely racked with guilt when he heard the terrible news.
Thanks for the info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse I was wondering if I could see an actual video of the plane crashing into the frozen cornfield in Clear Lake, Iowa.
The FACT is that the Pilot Roger Peterson ws NOT familiar with the Gyro in the airplane they took off in that night. He HAD instrument training but the Gyro's screen was the opposite of the Gyro he trained on for instrument flight. The plane was in the air only a few minutes and crashed into the ground at high speed. They were all killed on impact. The Crash had nothing to do with Waylon. Too bad he blamed himself for the crash it wasn't his fault.
He covered up his guilt with mounds of cocaine.....🤣
Like he had the power to make Holly's plane crash.
He named one of his kids after Holly I think
Great artist
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. What is your favorite song of Waylon?
Ritchie Valens was also on that tour
“Damned” ol’ plane”…….
Huh..it don't stop at 10 fold..it goes on and on..there is no end.,except death..that comes rapid and fast and has no fear..
I just bet they didn't think he meant it! He didn't make it happen!
Probably not
Lovvee u so much❤❤❤❤debbie ❤❤❤❤debbie ❤❤❤❤debbie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I HEARD THOSE SINGERS ARE STILL ALIVE!!!
Waylon a legend
Be careful for what you wish for
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!

What an immature, nasty thing to say - no wonder he lived with guilt, he earned it. It was publicized he had given up his seat to the Big Bopper. Apparently Buddy made the arrangement that got Waylon angry.
Men talk to each other like that all the time. No harm is meant by it, just a way to see who can upstage the other. Buddy started with what he said and the rest is history.
I disagree that he deserved to feel guilty about it forever. His words aren't what made the plane crash, and, obviously, if he knew it would happen he wouldn't have said it.
Waylon no doubt eviscerated himself over it. No need for anyone else to pile it on.
I don't think this video got the context or the wording correct. The bus they had been on had been so cold that one band member was hospitalized with frost bite. When Buddy Holly chartered the plane, it was meant for both his band mates to take the other two seats, Waylon and Tommy Allsup. After Waylon gave his seat to the Big Bopper and Allsup agreed to flip a coin with Ritchie Vallens for his seat (and lost), Buddy made fun of the fact that both his band mates gave up their seats. That's when he smiled at Waylon and said, “Well, I hope your ol’ bus freezes up!”. Waylon joked back, “Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes!”. They smiled & joked at each other, were teasing each other. At least that's the way the story has been told.
This video left the "ol'" part out of Waylon's statement. He was ribbing Buddy back about saying "ol' bus," by saying "ol' plane". It was all in good fun at the time. It was just friends teasing each other, sparked by Buddy being amazed that both his band mates passed on taking the plane with him, after days of arduous conditions on the bus.
And no, Buddy didn't make the arrangement to give Waylon's seat up. Waylon gave it to The Big Bopper, and they asked Buddy if he was okay with that.
WAS WAYLON JINNINGS MARRIED TO TAMMY WHY NOT?
JUST JOKING, WAYLON JINNINGS WAS A GREAT SINGER AND VERY GOOD LOOKING .
Waylon Jennings' past is VERY mixed, and his attitude toward Buddy Holly varied widely. As portrayed in "The Buddy Holly Story", he once made a very racist remark to Holly about Holly's Latina wife, something about Holly, around Thanksgiving, " liking dark meat". No doubt there were other foul things he did, he was trying to forget with all his drinking and drug abuse. Unless you're only interested in producing puff pieces about entertainment celebrities, you might want to present a more balanced portrayal of famous people, who, it turns out, had flaws, just like the rest of us.
