🤘 Rock Stars We Lost Too Soon | Cause of Death of RockStars

Dead rock stars, ranked in order of how much potential great music was lost to this world by their untimely passing. The key criteria for this list is to guess "how much greatness they left behind" - in other words, it would be very difficult to justify, for example, Syd Barrett on this list, because although he is a dead rockstar, he died long after he had stopped making music at all. Similarly, although Elvis Presley died an untimely early death, if you were equally a fan of Kurt Cobain and Elvis Presley, you would only rank them equally if you thought Elvis's post-77 output would equal Cobain's post-'94 output.

With the drugs and alcohol that went through most of these people, a lot were fortunate to live as long as they did!

The loss of rock stars remains a somber chapter in music history. Exploring the causes of their premature deaths serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles many faced. As we reflect on their legacies, it's a testament to the enduring impact of their music and the need for awareness around mental health challenges within the industry.

I don't think 70's & 80 year olds could be classed as 'we lost too soon'!
