I've played there many times Alrosa VIlla..and you are correct he was ambushed while playing. Having grown up in Columbus, that murder was the end of Alrosa, and our city has suffered also, we no longer get big acts that normally come through from Pitts, indianapolis, Cleveland and Cincy...now they will go to Dayton or just skip this whole area altogether. Also is torn down now...as I stated that was the beginning of the end for that place where I have tons of memories of playing there and concerts I saw there...Montrose, Trower, Holdsworth, Tubes Kreator, Mercyful Fate....
@@nasticanasta yeah, I moved a half mile away from there in ‘08 and the perking lot was never full except for one time when suicidal tendencies played there. I wanted to go so bad but just couldn’t do it. Shine down was the last concert I saw there. It was like a week or two before Damage Plan played. A friend and I were going to go but like I said I had to work and he did too. Now it’s apartments, although housing is much needed in the area, a part of me wishes the Alrosa was still there. I miss hearing Rick on the radio like when I was a kid. It always seemed like shock too and saddleback shark were always playing. lol. I know the music seems to skip us now, except for rock on the range or what ever it is now. I was thinking about all the music deaths we have had in, leaving and in the way to Columbus or surrounding areas. The bands probably think the town is cursed. What band(s) were you in? Your TH-cam handle sounds really familiar, do you go by that anywhere else?
@@Theprophet3928 A person comes into the emergency room half torn apart from a car wreck... They do what they can, but the person coughs and sneezes and dies... so the person died from a cold? LYING does NO one any good....
They adjusted the causes to their likings. There is no such thing as a Heroin overdose; it is a overdose doesn’t matter how much you take. Don’t even think about saying I am wrong. Only a fool will use it.

People who don't get cancer or heart disease should live to 85 years old. That is real statistics. Age is relevant. A 40 year old is very old to a 21 year old
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.
When you put whatever in your body just because you have talent! Please! Mental issues ? I had a friend once who told me that when you’re an entertainer that they are ways your expected to behave ! Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll !
Artists should not be forced to commit negative behaviors. Sometimes, extraordinary challenges and pressures can lead to psychological and substance use problems. Most importantly, we need to understand that each artist is a unique and diverse individual. Support and understanding are more important than judgment or unfair expectations.@@melvinhunt6976
And why did Randy Rhoads die by plane crash but Ronnie Van Zant did not? Marvin Gaye was killed/shot by his Dad... Why is Prince listed as "accidental" overdose when 99% of the OTHER overdoses on this list didn't do it on purpose? Kurt Cobain shot himself just say it.
By saying English musician I think they are meaning it at a person from England and yes he was in the Beatles before going solo just like Paul McCartney and Ringo Star.
I know! He damn well should be! Best drummer ever! I saw Rush many times! He had brain cancer 😔 we miss you alot Neil! 💐 he was a brilliant man to come up with the lyrics that he did!
It was good to see Terry Kath and Jaco Pastorius, arguably the best at what they did but seldom given their due, included in your list. I may have missed them but I would have loved to see Dino Danelli and Noel Redding's names there too. Thanks for all the research you must have done to make this video.

Da que pensar la baja esperanza de vida entre los músicos, sobre todo en los del Rock. Tienen un índice de muerte prematura absolutamente increíble. Muy pocos llegan a ancianos.
Yes Freddie Mercury died of Aids as did Dan Hartman I had two childhood friends Die of Aids they are great people It's not about how they died but how they lived and what they meant to our lives bringing great JOY
Title is wrong because many of them didn´t do rock at all like Sinatra (so you could also include Whitney Huston). And so many plane crashes vs. almost no car accidents.
@@THE_HMRC didn't mean for you to do that. I meant believe what you want but he CLEARLY didn't "do himself". Nobody leaves their wallet open to their ID before they do that and then comb their hair afterwards over the open hole
Some of the people were heavy drinkers or drug users but you make it seem as though all those heart attacks and liver failures were without cause. Even Keith Emerson's suicide was fundamentally due to alcoholism.
Number 43 ~ Michael Hutchence ~ Wasn't suicide by hanging, it was engaging in auto-erotic asphyxia, while fairly drunk / drugged. It was an accidental death caused by playing dangerous sexual games while stoned.
@@LadyHeathersLair ~ Well, it's open to some interpretation, but I think Mr Hutchence was living the life every man dreams of. There was a list of the 20 most beautiful, most desirable women in the world, and Michael Hutchence was banging at least 12 or 13 of them on a semi regular basis. His musical was going strength to strength. What EARTHLY reason did he have to kill himself? He was due to bang Kim Wilde that night. (We're the kids in America.) She showed up, they talked for maybe 3 or 4 minutes, and she formed the opinion he was a little too drunk / stoned to be at his best, so she left again. So they quizzed her in the coroner's court. She told them the word was out, among the most beautiful women, that Michael Hutchence was as good in bed as he looked and acted like, and the experience was one to be savoured ~ as long as he has sober or nearly sober, but once he got half way drunk or stoned, the quality of the experience dropped very sharply, and you definitely didn't want to be near him when he was right off his tree. So when he rang and asked you over, you'd rush to get there, but then spend 10 minutes or so stalling and small-talking, and trying to figure out how straight or bent he was. She figured he was slightly too bent on that occasion, and left. In the morning, they found him dead, strangled in the act of auto-erotic asphyxia. I believe the official finding was death by Miss Adventure. Perhaps you could call that suicide, but it was suicide by accident. He was responsible for his own death, yes, but that's not what he was trying to achieve.
@@kaymuldoon3575 - Possibly true. Let's say it's open to interpretation. My view, he was living the life everybody dreams of living. Why on Earth would he choose to deliberately end it? Don't know, I wasn't there. I just think accidental death (death by Miss Adventure) sounds a lot more likely. My memory of the coroner's inquest is a bit hazy, but I do recall there was some debate about this question at the time. What I do remember clearly, is Kim Wilde telling the court that he was sleeping with half the people we'd call Super Models at the time, including her.

Mike Edwards of the ELO was killed in 2010 by a round hay bale rolling downhill rapidly & leaping a hedge to fall onto the cab of his van, crushing it. It must be one of the more unusual deaths. Very sad, he was a lovely, kind person.
I remember that being reported. It has to be one of the oddest ways to perish. Originally the way the headline read, it sounded like a bale of hay rolled down a hillside...that would've been more odd!
@@sarahstrong7174 If I'm not mistaken, he was on his bicycle either to the side or behind a lorry or tractor with bales of hay, and a bale fell off crushing him either directly or by roll over. In other words, it didn't fall off the back of a tractor that was off the road on a hillside, then roll down the hill crushing him.
@@KenGaskins-nm3gxYou are indeed mistaken. Mike was not on a bike. Mike had a round delivering spring-water. He was driving along a lane & one of the huge round bales of hay that were in a field above the lane rolled down the hill. The momentum caused the bale to leap the hedge & unfortunately it landed on top of the cab of the van squashing it flat. It was a sickening sight to see that cab afterwards. Those bales are incredibly heavy & can squash vehicles & people. We were all very shocked & desperately sad. Mike was one of the friendliest & kindest people you could wish to meet. A gentle, caring soul & an extremely talented musician. I have seen those bales come rolling at speed down onto roads before. They are not particularly safe in hilly country.
Thanks for including Eric Carr! (Replaced Peter.Criss as KISS Drummer) born Paul Charles Caravello. His passing coincided with Queen Vocalist, Guitarist, Pianist Freddie Mercury born Farouk Bulsara. Same day in November of 1991.😢
That Jaco Pastorius died of brain hemorrhage is clinically correct, he in fact sustained his injuries from a bouncer. In short, he was beaten to death.
Don't say lost too soon or untimely passing for all the stars you listed over 75. With the partying & fanfare these people experienced.. that's a full life.
Don't forget Keith Emerson (ELP), Greg Lake (ELP), Kevin Ayers (Soft Machine), Peter Bardens (Camel), Ray Thomas (The Moody Blues), Eric Woolfson (The Alan Parsons Project), Peter Banks (Yes), Alex Harvey (The Sensational Alex Harvey Band), John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia)? Just to name a few. I have faith that you will do a revamp of your list one day, and that you will check this comment section.
Duane Allman was one of two Allman Brothers band members to die in a motorcycle accident. Bass player Barry Oakley died almost exactly a year after Duane. Speaking of motorcycle accidents Richard Farina was decapitated while racing motorcycles. And also should be calling out Hoyt Axton, who wrote so many songs for so many different artists over the years. Good vid, tho'
Although he was indeed involved in a multi-vehicle collision, Harry Chapin may have actually died of a heart attack (similar to what happened to MMRS). Chapin was in fact, stricken with a suspected heart attack, but they were never able to determine if it happened before, during, or after the accident. Then again, he would've likely been killed anyway since the collision involved a big rig that either Chapin hit from behind, or he was hit from behind by the truck.

Don't forget Keith Emerson (ELP), Greg Lake (ELP), Kevin Ayers (Soft Machine), Peter Bardens (Camel), Ray Thomas (The Moody Blues), Eric Woolfson (The Alan Parsons Project), Peter Banks (Yes), Alex Harvey (The Sensational Alex Harvey Band), John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia)? Just to name a few. I have faith that you will do a revamp of your list one day, and that you will check this comment section.
No Randy Castillo, Robbin Crosby, Ray Gillen, Kevin DuBrow, Frankie Banali, Mike Starr, Gar Samuelson
Many didn’t make the list; Chris Squire, David Byron, Gary Thain, etc,
Eddie Van Halen?
Interesting illustrations of the cause of death.
Duane Allman was one of two Allman Brothers band members to die in a motorcycle accident. Bass player Barry Oakley died almost exactly a year after Duane. Speaking of motorcycle accidents Richard Farina was decapitated while racing motorcycles. And also should be calling out Hoyt Axton, who wrote so many songs for so many different artists over the years. Good vid, tho'
Bobby Rydell should've got a mention.
Bobby wasn’t a druggie !
Oh I don't have to finish watching this to know You forgot Peter Green.
Touching to see something like this, gives a person a perspective of what could happen to themselves 😢 ( Elvis died the year I joined the U.S. Navy )
Robbie Robertson?!
All of “The Band” except the piano player..
All I can say is how sad to lose so many so young. May they all rock out in heaven. God bless and rest in peace.
The song by the Righteous Brothers. “If there’s a rock and roll heaven then you know they’ve got a hell of a band “
Lennon died in 1980 not 88 and he was born in 1940 not 8 ffs
Although he was indeed involved in a multi-vehicle collision, Harry Chapin may have actually died of a heart attack (similar to what happened to MMRS). Chapin was in fact, stricken with a suspected heart attack, but they were never able to determine if it happened before, during, or after the accident. Then again, he would've likely been killed anyway since the collision involved a big rig that either Chapin hit from behind, or he was hit from behind by the truck.
Wow legend, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimy Hendrix, Fredy Mercuri, lhon Lenon ,Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, ❤❤❤❤👍😎👏👏👏

Dan McCafferty, David Byron... RIP
In most cases, it is excessive alcohol, cigarette and drug use.
Maybe if more of them were clean living, they would be here today.
And maybe they wouldn’t have made the music that they did.
I always thought flying plains were pretty safe. 😮
None were on airliners. All were smaller prop planes or Helicopter.
