APPENDIX 2 - How Rock Stars Die 


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.

"As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own DEATH."—Proverbs 11:19.

"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of DEATH."—Proverbs 14:12.

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting Life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH of God ABIDETH ON HIM."—John 3:36.

"See, I have set before thee this day LIFE and GOOD, and DEATH and EVIL; in that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you LIFEand DEATH, blessing and cursing: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, that both thou and thy seed may live: that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy life, and the length of thy days."—Deuteronomy 30:15-20.
