Appendix 2 —
HOW ROCK STARS DIE
"The fear of the Lord prolongeth days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened."—Proverbs 10:27.
Here is how 280 rock performers, that we were able to locate, died. Each one experienced a miserable death.
Most "rockers" die between the ages of 25 and 45. Some die by suicide or are murdered. Others die from a drug overdose. Many die from car or airplane crashes caused by liquor or street drug overdoses. Because of their sexual excesses and hard drug, liquor, and tobacco usage, still others die at relatively early ages from heart attacks, lung cancer, or AIDS. (From the World Almanac and Book of Facts, 1997.)
The average age at death of Americans is 75.8 years. The average age at death of rock stars is 36.9 years.
