Rock Stars Who Suffered The Most Tragic Deaths

- The phrase "Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse" became reality for many rock stars. From overdoses to suicide to horrible accidents, the following rock stars died tragic deaths.
On the morning of February 3, 1959, early rock 'n' roll icons Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson, known as "The Big Bopper," died in a plane crash while touring together through the Midwest. The event became known as "The Day the Music Died" and saw the first premature deaths of young and popular musicians in the early history of the genre.
The crash also had a large impact on one of their contemporaries, according to Magic. Eddie Cochran was a part of the first wave of rock 'n' roll stars, along with the three musicians who passed. His songs "Summertime Blues" and "Twenty Flight Rock" became early classics in the genre and very popular among his teenage fan base. His appearance in films such as The Girl Can't Help It and Go Johnny Go helped his popularity grow.
But according to John Collis' biography, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, after the deaths of Holly, Valens, and Richardson, Cochran became obsessed with his own death, believing it was around the corner.
While touring in the United Kingdom in 1960 with fellow musician Gene Vincent, Cochran's premonition came true. Following a performance on Saturday, April 16, Vincent, Cochran, and others were involved in a single-car accident. Cochran died the next day, Easter Sunday, at the age of 21. He was the only one killed in the crash.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Ronnie Vanzant. ! Go research them, they were a rock n roll band in the seventies, you may discover something new to you that is actually decades old music, if you decide to research the band, let us know if you appreciate their music ! Ronnie and other band members died in s plane ✈️ crash !
Sandy Denny of The Fairport Convention, James Honeyman Scott and Pete Farndon of The Pretenders. They all died way too young.
layne staley passed away after spending years isolated, and absolutely no one knew about his death for 2 weeks... the most depressing celebrity death.
Makes me so sad. Staley and Cobain were too sensitive for this cruel world.
Did Layne like push everyone in his life away and they hated him? Im probably gonna die with a needle in my arm in a strange public restroom.. So not talking shit
@@brandtsavoy6123 He did. Isolated himself and wouldnt hardly answer his door.
Isolating ones self from this cruel world doesn’t have to be sad.
@@brandtsavoy6123 nobody visited him until his death
There was also the plane crash that took 6 lives of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Tragic losses all.
Was supposed to see them when this happened
Absolutely the one band that is in the top 5 of the best decade of music 'The 1970's'. How can somebody make a documentary and forget these ULTIMATE LEGENDS. Thanks for posting.
They have another documentary on artists that died in plane crashes
I was supposed to see them that year at Madison Square garden
@@pgo301 Aman!!!!😞
And as usual no one mentions Layne Staley of Alice In Chains. His isolation for the final three years of his life , tragic overdose, and the fact that his body wasn’t even discovered until 2 weeks after his death makes his death one of the most tragic of all. RIP Layne.
He is missed.
Agreed. Staley was an absolute beast of a singer for one the greatest bands of the 1990's. His peak was relatively short, which definitely contributes to him always getting overlooked. Without fail though, someone in the comments section always gives Layne his props.. 👍
because layne staley and the rest of alice in chains is so underrated. for me, they were great and better than the infamous, nirvana.
You can add to that Stakley Thomason, probably one of the best blues/soul singers of his age.
Well if he was isolated the last 3 yrs of his life, it makes sense why people forget to mention him I guess. All of them are sad.....
I just wanted to point out that this video did something that a lot of other videos or reports fail to do. When talking about Dimebag Darrell of Pantera/ damageplan, he mentioned the other three people who were tragically killed, a fan , a crew member and a security number for the club, called them by name. I point this out because, a lot of times they'll only mention the famous people and not give the names of the people who also killed. I just thought it was very respectful and worthy of making note. Good video with nice detail thank you
R.I.P such greats but also what about Cliff Burton who died horribly in a bus accident while on tour with Metallica
He should be number 1.. Cliff was a badass
Very true
Cliff was actually one hell of a bass player far better then ALOT of bassist's whom are out now a days
@The Green Pill Mindset wdym ? He was and probably still is the best known bassist to ever lived
I agree Cliff Burton was a great bass player and a rock star who was taken way too soon
I worked at Hard Rock Cafe' Orlando during the time Stevie Ray Vaughan died. He was supposed to do a benefit concert with ZZtop at Hard Rock the weekend he died. I was devastated. I wanted to see him so badly. Still get chills when I hear him play. He was so incredibly gifted.
I saw Bonnie Raitt the next day in concert, she and Stevie were very close.
Saddest concert I’ve ever been to.
@@lisajohnson6351 No doubt. Still hard to believe what happened.
I grew up in DFW, where Stevie was from, and he was friends with the morning guys on Q102. I remember driving to work that morning and hearing them try not to cry on the air.
Buddy Holly was a massive influence in rock and Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of the most amazing guitarist ever.
Dang Right. Long Live Buddy Holly!!!!
Yes, Buddy Holly strongly influenced The Beatles and probably many, many other bands.
Vaughan* he was insanely good, unbelievably good.
and randy rhoads the way he died is horrible
If not for Buddy, there be no elvis, Jerry Lee, Beatles, Nirvana etc. It takes the right sounds, words, look, talent at the exact time. Imagine if Nirvana would put out Nevermind Today. It would be good still but never have tge effect it did in August of 1991. Idk what it is, the wall coming down, freedom in the air Idk but it was the last truly mysterious, magical, and explosive outpouring of talent out of the north west and in America. After that we got Creed, Nickelback and Limp Bizkit. Smdh. Yes some songs was catchy but we went back to chasing that dollar. Grunge didn't care about that dollar. They truly cared about great music that captures the heart and soul. Now we got Tom Mcdonald who's doing well independently, Jelly roll lmfao music from a pastry. The Web ruined music. It was so satisfying to wait a month for the new issue of rolling stone etc to hear the latest news about our favorite bands. Or hearing about new music waiting months to hear a song. Now it's lost that. Now it's instant satisfaction. So much loses its value to the senses when we don't have to wait for it.
If this video would cover all the tragedy in rock, it would be years long.
Rock IS the tragedy.
Cliff Burton should have been mentioned. I mean he got thrown out of a bus and said bus fell on top of him thats a tragic way for such a talented person to die. He was one of the best bassists and God knows how much better he would have got if he had survived. RIP Cliff 🤘🤘🤘
Cliff was so talented and his death was so tragic!
No one really about him till he died.
Yes, his death was absolutely tragic and horrific. Poor Cliff. ❤️
we lost one of the greatest bassists on that dark day
he should have been for sure but I guess there are so many awesome musicians it's hard to remember them all but Cliff should have been early on the this list
My dad and I both LOOOOOOVE Stevie Ray Vaughan. Hell, my dad and I listen to him 98% of the time him and I listen to music together. Stevie Ray Vaughan will forever live
I was at SRV's last concert, incredible !!!!
D S lucky
I love SRV as well. Gone too soon🎶🎶
S. R V gets clean and sober. Dies in a Helicopter crash.
I will never stop missing Stevie Ray, the same with Chris Cornell.
Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys was drowned, John Lennon was shot, and Carl Wilson (brother of Dennis Wilson) had lung and brain cancer at the same time.
Yeah, Dennis’s and Carl’s deaths were very tragic, as of course was John’s.
I agree layne staley should be on here especially when he was discovered a long 2 weeks after he died
What an incredible voice & songwriter. Best
Yes thats just awful !! my uncle had been dead for 3 days when he was found at home , and just 3 days it was closed casket funeral to say the least , 2 weeks , damn
As a Metal Head, Dimebags Death hit the most for me. Went to the bar and took many "Black tooth grins" for him. He is still here, Pantera for life.
You should watch a vlog by UA-camr Daze with Jordan the Lion, he goes to the club and tells the story in more detail than I've heard before.
Yeah him and Randy rhoads but dime bags hit me way harder than randy's. I remember exactly where I was when Kurt loder came on MTV saying Darryl had been fkn murdered. Murdered? Name anything more tragic than that in the world of rock and roll anything
@@Natalie-ox7xm Yeah I saw that it's pretty Ross in the fact that Vinny had to watches on flocking brother die God dam it dime bag was the best floods guitar solo still gives me Goosebumps
Dime was killed in my hometown and it haunts me knowing he was murdered there. Thanks for the video suggestion ill definitely check it out
@@chrislair6832 I remember exactly where I was when I heard dimebag had been killed. We all will forever remember dimes legacy. CFH
Kirsty MacColl, wow. As tragic as her death was, I wouldn't expect a good guardian to do otherwise. She sacrificed her life to save her son. Any good guardian would do that. 😪😪😪😪 RIP ma'am.
RIP Jean MacColl. She tried to get justice for Kirsty🙏
Never heard of Kristy mcall
Thank you for correcting the rumor about Cass.
I love learning the backstories of so many musicians. Thanks for sharing.
He forgot to mention that Keith Richards is still alive. That's more shocking than these tragic deaths.
Found his first home in the Roman ruins,
That's it dude, you win the comments.
cfg7777 lol..
🤣🤣Truth!
When Willie Nelson and Keith Richard die, we all die.
I adore Mama Cass. That ham sandwich rumor has got to be one of the most insulting, disgusting things I have ever heard. The person who started that should be ashamed!
It was true. They changed it to heart attack to make it sound a little better for the family.
I heard bout that rumour for years I thought it was kinda funny but then was like 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Frank Smith that was when I was a kid hearing that when u get older now it’s like it’s messed up for anyone to say that especially the fact that if ur chunky
What’s so sad about that is when people actually have the audacity to ask her daughter if it’s true while she’s was still a little girl words are powerful we should be more careful about how we use them. Oh and for the record food drugs alcohol it really doesn’t make any difference addiction is painful and deadly we don’t make fun of people that suffer from cancer why is addiction so different just a thought
Jaye Rutter ur sooo rite I would hate the fact someone askin a child on how their parent died especially when it’s something serious
Rick Nelson was killed in a plane crash in 1985 New Year's Eve at the age of forty five.
Along with his girlfriend and his ENTIRE BAND! That's isn't considered tragic?
No. His music sucked
Pantera don’t be so aggressive 😳
Dude the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane crash
Yeah, I was sure that would be in this because I never even listened to their music, but I was only about 12 when that plane crash happened, and I could still remember it to this day!
I live in Mississippi, and live close to the field where there plane had crashed back in the 70s. They have a memorial for them.
Rock n Roll died for me in October, 1977.
You could have at least given John Bonham, Randy Rhoades and Cliff Burton honourable mentions.....
Randy Rhoads ,yes the pilot was showing off his stunts at low altitude and ran it into the ground
Agreed. Poor Randy Rhodes was killed in a bizarre accident. I don't Ozzy was ever quite the same. Sad about the. All. Bonham probably greatest drummer of all time.
Why dont you?
Tommy Bolin also.
@@scalpu Hendrix
SRV will always be missed. There will never be another Stevie Ray.
YES that is FOR SURE .. I saw him in FARGO ND .. Not more than a few Weeks before he Died .. I was FLOORED when I heard about it .........
it hit me hard .. like the Death of Mike Osbourne from AXE also .. Bobby Barth was also Severely Injured .... it was the Death of AXE for many years ......
RIP Sandy Denny, English folk singer-songwriter, who died age 31 from a drunken fall down the stairs in 1978. Her "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" is a classic.
just love her...when she passed I cried...such a unique artist
Listening to Sandy a lot lately . A Sailors Life with Richard Thompson on guitar and Dave Swarbrick et al is a timeless masterpiece.
The Battle of Evermore…..
Jeff Buckley is one of the most tragic for me. With only one legendary album under his belt, to go out swimming while singing Led Zeppelin and accidentally drown is tragic. He is a legendary figure, I wonder how his career would have panned out if not for his death.
I must admit, my opinion at first (because of his song Grace and its lyrics) was that he drowned himself. It's easy to do if you truly want to go and he suffered depression pretty strongly. Certain lyrics like
"And I hear them drown my name, so easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go
But it goes so slow"
I honestly thought his drowning was intentional. I'm definitely not a conspiracy theorist and came to the conclusion by my own doing. I do believe it really was just a drunken mishap though. Either way is tragic but the mishap just makes it more so, IMO. Grace and The Last Goodbye are two of my most favourite songs and will be at my funeral for sure.
I lived downstairs from one of his band mates.
Jim Croce died in a plane crash in Louisiana at the height of his career.
Paul Norman with your comment I just listened to Photographys and Memories.
I was just listening to him last night. He was awesome
Otis Redding and John Denver were also killed in plane crashes
I won a dance contest dancing to Bad, Bad Leroy Brown many years ago We love ya, Jim!
I was supposed to be at that concert. The weather was really bad. My brother in law’s dad was called to the wreckage to gather some of the debris. He ended up owning a seat from that plane. Not sure if it was a pilot or passenger seat. Croce never did a bad song. I would have loved to have heard what other music he would give us. RIP
RIP to all these incredible musicians.
You missed three of my all time favorites, Bob Marley, Otis Redding and Sam Cooke!!
Never seen Kirsty MacColl on one of these lists before, well done. Her death has always infuriated me. It was the definition of senseless.
... and the bastard culprit got away with it!!!
So true, I didn’t hear of her death until years after. I’m in the States so she’s relatively unknown.
"In these shoes" is an excellent tune, and is seldom mentioned... get it on your playlist. !
Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Brian Jones, Bonzo and anyone who died early on like Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Ritchie Valens, Randy Rhoades, half of Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. were all tragic.
@ Mike D
Kurt Cobain wasn't tragic. Horribly sorry Cobain suffered from depression but dying like Hendrix was a fallacy - Hendrix didn't commit suicide and by the looks of all things in Hendrixs' life, nor was he going to.
LIZZIE SANGI Sangi
Jimi Hendrix was murdered. Cobain according to Courtney Love’s dad was also murdered by Courtney.
Steve Marriott ( Humble Pie) also
Layne Staley will always be the most tragic death of all time to me. Not only because I hold him on a pedestal and am a Layneaholic but he died alone and lay deceased in his condo for 2 weeks. To me that's a pure tragedy and loss
AGREED!!!!!
Totally great article.Thank you.Very informative.
Karen Carpenter (Mar. 2, 1950 - Feb. 4, 1983), from heart failure caused by anorexia. Only 32. One day after the 24th sad anniversary of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper), and Ritchie Valens. Jim Croce (Jan. 10, 1943 - Sep. 20, 1973, from another plane crash. Only 30.
Karen Carpenter was not a ROCK star. Tragic though her death was, she inhabited another genre altogether.
@@Esch47on She was a pop music superstar, regardless. Satisfied now?
I was so sad when Jim Croce died. I loved his music and personality. Funny, funny man. ❤
Just wanted to say that I absolutely love that every one of your videos has some sort of helpful hotline number at the end of the videos! Thank you for everything you guys do :)
Dennis Wilson, drummer of the Beach Boys, drowned at age 39 in 1983 while diving off a boat drunken and trying to retrieve stuff he had thrown off his boat previously, apparently. He had been in an alcoholic decline for years.
Many good have died
It's so sad how their are so many talented people that die so early.
Rip to all of them, they will live forever in our hearts ❤️
Brian Jones was the first rock star I remember dying, though there is more than a little evidence that he was actually murdered.
Schizo Affect
He was.
@@John-ip3xm yes that’s right my mom used to hangout with the stones and had heard stories about what really happened.
@@John-ip3xm whatever his reasons were,this crazy guy had no right to kill someone😑😒
@@lauralockman8472 as none of the stones were present when Brian died they are just stories .
@@John-ip3xm oh you.know this fr sure? Were you there? There's always some psycho who thinks they know it all when this was more likely to be drowning caused by drugs.
Tommy Bolin, Marc Bolan and Bon Scott were the three which were the saddest to me, also Randy Rhoads and Ray Gillen.
Ray Gillen infected other women with hiv even though he knew he had it
Bon Scott didn't die the way it's always been put forth, when him and the guy he was with got to where they were going he was alive, awake and well, they went to an apartment and were hanging out with several people and Scott left, when he did he told them "I'm gonna go get some heroin", what exactly transpired after that no one knows for sure because the guy whose car he was found in and gave the story that everyone knows mysteriously dissapeared two days later, there's not even any proof that the guy even really existed in the first place and was probably someone else that gave a fake name to everyone when it happened.
Pete Way, the notorious wildman bassist from UFO that was even too wild to be in Ozzy Osbournes' band and coincidentally just died days ago, came foreward years after Scotts' death and said he was one of the people that was at the apartment Scott had come to after he was at the bar.
Scott was living with his ex girlfriend who was a heroin addict, I'm pretty sure the girl he was involved with at the time was a heroin user, and had been hanging out the last few weeks with members of UFO who were notorious heroin users at the time and it's likely he'd recently started using, so other people close to him like the other members of AC/DC wouldn't have known it.
If you read into his death and some of the statements made by people who saw him that night, like witnesses who say he wasn't that drunk when he left the bar, there's a lot of fishy things about the official narrative of his death.
dont forget steve marriot
@@12presspart And Greg Ridley. Long live the Pie!
What about John Denver, Pete Ham of Badfinger, and Ronnie Van Zant and the Gaines siblings of Lynryd Skyrnyrd?
"most tragic"
And Tom Evans of Badfinger or Randy Rhodes
What about Johnny Ace?
@@jknuttel Bobby Fuller comes to mind. there should be a part II, because the list( tho short), was good.
What about the King? Elvis
The Allmans were incredibly talented
OH YES! They were one of my favorite bands. 💓🎵💓 I guess the producers of the Gregg Allman bio-drama "Midnight Rider" (based on his autobiography) will not finish the project after the calamitous tragedy while filming.
I know Gregg Allman (among numerous others) had filed civil lawsuits against the producers and while I don't know the particulars, Allman did say he felt human life was more important than a bio-drama. 🎵💓🎵
R.I.P Freddie Mercury you will always be missed, and had such talent plus with an incredible range of singing like nobody else.
Beatles better
@@mirandagenevievehunt9398 objectivity not
Beatles…..yawn.
@@mirandagenevievehunt9398 no way Beattles was able play one genre Queen played from trash metal tro hip hop,rock,pop,alternative rock ,opera,flamengo,soul,wadeville,hard rock,punk etc etc
eh that's a stretch
I remember being a huge Led Zeppelin fan going into high school, got really into them read about them and watched interviews. Learning about John Bonham and how he died crushed me, never knew him, born 20 years after he died, but he seemed like such a cool soft spoken guy.
My brother and I had tickets to see Zeppelin when we heard Bonham died. The tickets were a shocking $15 apiece.
If I could see any band, dead or Live, it would be Zep. Bonhams death broke my heart. 40 shoys of vodka is what I heard, he either choked or smothered.
@@jamiecarey9456 LZ is my favorite band EVER. They're still touring! Also, about Cass Elliot, John Philips was a creep & very cruel to her. I think he hated the fact she had one of the most beautiful voices in the world.
Hank Williams should've been mentioned in this as well. He was 29 years old.
He wasn't a "rock star".....he played and sang real music, not screeching dog shit.
And hank was the greatest country singer of all time
Hank was probably the hardest working musical artist of the time. His work ethic killed him....the alcohol didn't help, but his work ethic is what killed him.
There are so many others who could have been mentioned as well: Randy Rhoades, Cliff Burton, John Bonham, Steve Clark, Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, half of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Croce and may others.
What a time to be alive with all these bands and singers.
Thanks for mentioning Tom Fogerty, Him and his brother are my cousins. It was not known for years even in the family that he had Aids. Do to the taboo of the time of having it. We had our suspicions but didn't know for sure.
Love their music
Butterfly Blues Band
Blood Sweat n Tears
You should've mentioned Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ronnie Van Zant and their infamous 1977 plane crash.
Damn right.
Absolutely!
When Stevie Ray Vaughn died one of my friends called me in the middle of the night screaming and crying. It was a very sad day that I’ll never forget. 😔
Dimebag was such a huge fan of Eddie Van Halen and now he's gone to, I hope that they both and Dime's brother Vinnie all get to hangout in the afterlife making music that awaits us all.
Oh brother. Too bad people believe in anthropocentric fueled myths. Maybe they'd respect life a bit more.
Stop thinking about your imaginary afterlife and appreciate the life you actually live in, dude.
@@Draftspike Just because you have no imagination doesn't mean I have to either, mine ya own business.

The ham sandwich rumor even plagued Karen Carpenter’s tragic death at 32 on February 4th 1983. She died from cardiac arrest brought on by years of suffering from anorexia nervosa. People would say that Karen would be alive if Cass had given her the ham sandwich. Both deaths were tremendous tragedies. I may only be 30, but Karen Carpenter will always and forever be my favorite singer.
Richard and Karen played a show when they were pretty young. Karen played drums at that time. Apparently a journalist from a very minor local newspaper wrote a concert review and wrote something like "Richard was accompanied by his tubby sister " Karen's issues were caused by that un-needed and rather spiteful comment...
@@MrPomdownunder = Music Journo's ALWAYS are/were "wankers"
I actually "gave up" buying music "rags" between 1976/1982
Last one was when some 'idiot' in "Sounds" wrote the smug headline.....
"Geddy Lee's TRAIN of thought, stopped at SIGNALS" (their 1982 album)
The wanker in question was FORCED to listen to it, at least once.
Being "obliged" to listen to ANY album (forced), will never give a true opinion, especially "if" aforesaid wanker isn't a fan.
It's just an enforced "Media sausage factory"
Where idiots ARE enforced to give an opinion (any opinion), just to sell those wretched worthless cat-litter "toilet rags" to make payroll.
That's why I personally, regard "Music Critics" as "untermensch scum"
Janis joplin - rest in peace. ☮️❤️❤️
One more: A former Beatle named Stuart Sutcliffe died of a Cerebral hemorrhage in Hamburg, Germany.
That's not really tragic
@@matthewcassar1395 seeing as he was in his early 20s, it definitely is.
@@zakrowe1301 You really think it's anywhere near as bad as dying in a road accident, a plane crash or from a murder? I doubt it. Remember, Ritchie Valens was only 17 when he died in the plane crash, that's even worse.
Besides, Stuart never became a rockstar, he was an artist. Playing bass in the Beatles was just a little hobby of his.
@@matthewcassar1395 I'd say there are more horrific deaths. But any loss of a young life is tragic, it's not a contest. Stuart sutcliffe couldve gone on to do great things with his life but that chance was taken from him. Just like it was for all the other people on this list.
Put your self in his shoes, your life ending before you're even 22, or any of your loved ones dying at that age.
I once read that John may have given Stewart that beating. Who knows?
Rip to all and thanks for the music. Dimebag you will forever be in our hearts
We've lost so many legendary musicans and at such young ages it's a totally tragic issue. We just keep loosing our "hero's" and it's heartbreaking. I wish them all Peace in Heaven above and hope they are continuing to rock on. They will never be forgotten by us, the fans. We still love you all..... ❤️
Looking at all the comments about so many artists that passed way to young and not to be mentioned only shows how much of a wonderful impact they all had on our lives.Also how they will always live on in our hearts and souls not only for us but for generations to come... It's so true as Bon sang It's a long way to the top if you want to Rock and Roll...Rock on everyone..
May their souls Rest in Peace, Amen
Damn Fam.
Ps Much Gratitude for sharing.
I'd say Terry Kath's death was pretty tragic
I don't care about weight. I love ya Mama Cass...
She was so talented. I wish they would have left her alone about her weight...nobody cared. She was Mama Cass...that's all we cared about and we lost her way too soon.
@@jenniferlarson6426 -you said it. Her voice was amazing. She was amazing. But her problem was born inside the Mamas and the Papas. She loved Denny, who loved Michelle and was sleeping with her, who was married to Papa John, and who was a task master trying to control every note that came out of every body’s mouth. When Cass was spurned by Denny, it set up a thing in her. And it started to be the down fall of the band. I don’t think she ever recovered emotionally, because that kind of snub really hurts.
@@pointyblackhat9045 It was Denny who messed her head up and broke her heart. She was a sweet human being....she really was. She just wanted to be loved. I think her last boyfriend or husband, probably did love and care about her, but the pain in one's heart never goes away when someone you love betrays you.
RIP beautiful Richard Manuel. Truly a legend...thank you for your sweet voice and immense talent.
Freddie's dead was so horrible and tragic😔 Legends never die✨ We love you, RIP Freddie❤️

No one likes pop metal is far superior Cliff Burton's death was tragic he died in a bus crash of 1986
Good on you for including the helpline. We've all had tough times and will continue to do so. The thought's crossed my mind and I know it has my dad's too, in the years passed. But talk. There is ALWAYS somebody to listen, somebody to hear you and you are never truly alone. It's okay to hit rock bottom. This life stuff isn't a straight road and certainly isn't straightforward, so whatever it is - literally whatever it is - keep at it. We all get off the carousel eventually either way
Except - talking about your problems will prove to be a complete waste of your time. When you finally do tell someone, or, eventually, multiple people, what's making your life borderline not worth living, they - family, social worker, psychologist, psychiatrist, whoever - will say that it is not important, and they could not possibly care much less about it, or about you, or about anything but themself, you quickly or eventually realise. They will talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk (continue typing the word "talk" until it circles the earth a few times.) Because talking is much, much easier than ever actually Doing anything to help you. You're on your own, unfortunately, you eventually realise, and deal with that, or give up.
@@beavercleaver7848 never give up !
I've lost my d.license for life,& feel like a real loser pedaling around,at 54 ! But,stuff still may change for the better :& that's my reason for keepin on keepin on ! I still buy my lotto tix, & hope to hit big !
1 thing's for sure :
If I give up : that 1 chance won't exist any longer !
So ,until I get struck by lightning, or hit by a bus ,or whatever :
I still have a chance !
As do we all !
Never give up !
✌ out .
RIP to all of these young and incredible musicians
Thanks so much ~
RIP John Bonham. You were an awesome once in a lifetime drummer and your legacy still inspires all beginner to advanced musicians today. Only if he hadn't drank all those shots of vodka
@Second Amendment Don't get me wrong he's not the only phenomenal drummer out there. But when the levee breaks is such a badass Zeppelin song
Very sad. When John was home he was a loving, protective, responsible husband and father. He loathed being away from his family and would go overboard with the plonk after rehearsing etc. Alcohol is insidious.
John influenced alot of drummers. He’s like the Elvis of Drummers.
@@screamrad218 Jesus yes he is. Have you listened to When The Levee Breaks??
@@MetalGearDavid98
He was good but Ian Paice is the GOVERNOR. He just wasnt a wild man like Moon and Bonham. So doesnt get the same notoriety. But no better drummer ever picked up a pair of sticks.
As much as I *love* this channel, I am shocked that you didn't include Bradley Nowell of Sublime?? Such an awe-inspiring talent lost so very soon....
He's gonna do it one at the time Waite & see maybe next time
Keith Relf will forever be my all time favourite musician, massively underrated.
I can't believe you left out Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marc Bolan of T Rex, Jim Morrison and John Lennon.
Lennon was mentioned.
Lennon was mentioned
History can Never be Forgotten...May All these Talented Musicians RIP!!!
Also Jim C.of Bad Bad LeRoy Brown ...
Selena was 24 years old, just becoming an international pop star, when she was killed by a "friend". Im not sure what could be more tragic than that. The other tragic one that comes to mind is Terry Kath
Saw SELENA'S last SHOW at the ASTRODOME RODEO.
I didn't know about Selena until I read about her death in a newspaper, and yes Terry Kath's death was very tragic. I remember seeing/hearing it mentioned on TV soon after it happened.
Selena was 23 not 24
Terry Kath 😔
I feel sick every time I think of how avoidable his death was.
Poor Salena was too young to realize the danger she was in. RIP Salena, you almost had it all.
Lynn Strait, the lead singer of the band Snot, and his dog Dobbs (on the cover of Get Some) were killed by an 18 wheeler on the highway on Dec 11, 1998. He was 30
I remember exactly where I was when it was announced on the radio that the helicopter Stevie Ray Vaughn was on had crashed I was in complete shock. I’ll never forget that day or that moment.
Yup. Me too.
Same. Driving to work in Dallas, listening to Q102.
Layne Staley should be on here more than most of these ppl
Gil T yes but the way he O’D was tragic, He died heartbroken by his soul mate dying. He was alone only to die and not be found 2 weeks. Then by the time they found him he was barley recognized due to his body decomposing.
Kolby Garrett yeah Staley’s death was indeed sad. The way he rotted in his appartment for 2 weeks made it even sadder
Why didn't you put up your own video of layne staley?? And everyone else you think should be on here..
TAT S douche comment
@@tats5880 stupid comment
Jeff Buckley.
His career was over before it had even got into full swing.
He could have been enormously popular.
Tim Buckley his father also died at a young age.
Terribly tragic. Both father and son were incredibly talented.
Yes. Jeff Buckley was just magic.
@Dildo Shwaggins TROLL ALERT! TROLL ALERT!
Thank you for remembering him. He was an enormous talent gone too soon.
The irony, your name is "grunge" and don't even mention the deaths of Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell, and many more, come on bro.
@noisy parrot I agree with u about kurt and Chris but I think Layne for sure deserved a mention, he was basically isolated for 6 years they had his obituary ready since the 90s and he sat there dead on his couch for 2 weeks.
Are they supposed to put him in every list?
layne, yes. idk about the other 2.
@@Jeremy-sq2dj Layne was a drug addict and drug addicts die it's what they do and that is sad but with Layne his death was sad what was tragic is that he sat there rotting for two weeks.
@@1979bobhd But Layne didn't have a "normal" drug addict death; the man was basically a walking corpse for 6 years, a man of his status and he just lays there rotting for 2 weeks is a damn shame.
The best of the best great music great musicians RIP
I was at that final SRV show at Alpine Valley. I remember hearing about the crash shortly after we got home. I still have the tshirts...never ever worn.
Dime bags death still hurts me.
Same here.
Glen Miller disappeared over English channel 1944. Great movie starring Jimmy Stewart.
Stevie Ray … …True legend gone WAY TOO SOON. A legend to legends!
Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Freddie Mercury, Jimmi Hendrix?
Chris Cornell
Cliff Burton
Layne
I think they're too well known. They're looking at people way may not know
Chester Bennington the dude chocked himself out by hanging.
can you imagine how big buddy holly would have gotten in rock and roll if he hadn't got killed.
Duane
Yes - 🎼- Everyday 🎸
Could you picture him as the '70's '80's outlaw singer his friend Waylon was?
With Holly's good looks....he would have gone into movies...where the money was.
⭐❤️wit my...Lover Waylon❤️⭐
Awesome stuff. I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was 10...1986. I was hooked. Song is timeless, will always be.
Nothing about Gary Moore, Chris Cornell, Prince, Steve Clark, Some of these musicians referenced are obscure. Sad that they passed but whoever put this video together did good job but really missed more relevant artists.
Steve Marriot passed in a house fire.
