Rock'n'roll is a tough place to live in. Lots of fun, okay, lots of creativity and freedom, but also lots of touring, exaustive touring, and then amidst the fun you'll get your share of 'poison'. Many rock stars or people involved in rock'n'roll come from difficult or at least 'unusual' backgrounds which they carry along with themselves on stage and everywhere, so it's 'natural' for them to delve into that 'poison'. At the very start it's just 'getting stoned', then they become addicted to it. Their health is often at risk year after year. I don't mean to go moralistic at all, don't mistake me for that kind of person. People are free to do whatever they please, even though it may not be that good for their health, after all I've seen people destroy their lives at stages which were further back compared to being a rock star... Phil Lynott died out of that, many others did: Freddie Mercury did (homosexuality is no poison, of course, AIDS unfortunately is often a cause of heavy partying and delving into easy drugs and sex, we all know), Amy Winehouse did, Morrison did, I won't make the obvious list now, right? Gary passed away suddenly because his heart failed, but I have to be honest: although I was devastated, I can't say I couldn't expect it. I may be too cynical, but nowadays I'm often expecting news about someone from the rock'n'roll business who passes away, and most of this is because I'm aware of the lifestyle they got used to, I'd be blind if I didn't. We've lost Gerry Rafferty or John Martyn lately, and I'm mentioning them probably because they're Scots like me and their death touched me deep inside, but I knew about their lifestyle and troubles. Can't say I was expecting it, but I can say it didn't come out as a shock. I was aware, I knew it could happen sooner or later. Otherwise people wouldn't have been gossiping on Shane MacGowan's passing for years, I mean, we're all aware of what our musical heroes often do. And, believe me, it's not just 'parties, drugs an' aw'... you're always on stage travelling from place to place playing gigs every night, it's not any light stuff you'd have to face if you were into rock'n'roll.
Gianmaria Framarin And fortunately some come out the other side - like Lou Gramm, or Michael Schenker. Michael is still creating, and still is incredible. Reports are that EVH is also. Can only hope that is true more often than not.
Aye, hopefully. Meanwhile leukaemia took Chris Squire away from us, but that's life indeed. It hurts, but that may happen to anyone no matter what their lifestyle is about... Van Halen surprised me quite a lot. I didn't believe he would come out of that that way. James Taylor also did so long time ago, he's still alive and kicking and wonderfully playing music. 30 years ago he was on the verge of overdosing each night... Let's hope more and more musicians will be able to give us all their best again. :-)
