That is sad he died and still young too. I listened to Cherry Pie earlier in honor of him.

Think I will be listening to something a little later too. 47 is too young. I heard he had some troubles in the past, so it might be drug related.

It must be tough being a rock star and having the pressure of all that drugs and alcohol around you and you give into temptation. It can take a huge toll on your body for years to come.

I'm sure it doesn't help any when you are a top star, touring, playing arenas and then....not. Vices definitely help some people at that point.
