[@kimdeese6410]

Phil Lynott should be on this list. Founder,songwriter and bassist for THIN LIZZY.

[@Monkeyspankerelite]

Wasn`t he shot by his G.F.? Or am I confusing him with Felix Pappalardi? Hmm, I got to check up on that. Cheers!

Who the hell does coke at 76?

[@stargazer1460]

Alan Wilson from Canned Heat. Drug overdose, 27 years old.

[@ashleyclarke-g1l]

Entwistle was one of the best of all time ❤ Loved his style

[@janamathis4729]

When Chris Cornell died, I was shocked. Still difficult to believe.

[@Patrick-ve8wo]

Tom Petty was not only a singer, but the voice of Lucky on King Of The Hill. I will always remember his music, but also the KING OF THE HILL cartoon.

[@bornon221269]

Syd Barrett, founder of Pink Floyd, remained mentally compromised all of his life because of Lsd

Watching my father battle with Alzheimer’s I’m just wondering what is so great about living to the point where your body fails?

Tom Petty's death hit me hard.

27years old!!! so many died at this age!

I never had their money or fame but at least I'm still alive at 67.

Gotta love the Amy W. mourners: placing beers and wine glasses as trophies to her drunken death. Ugh!

[@mschuman1953]

Pete Ham -- yet another member of the 27 Club. His death by suicide, not an overdose, precludes him from being on this list.But his work with Badfinger shouldn't be forgotten.

[@ActorsDataComparison]

This video really hit hard. So many great musicians gone too soon. Thank you for shedding light on their struggles and keeping their legacy alive.

[@johnhatchel9681]

Ike was 76 😂

[@adamgabriel730]

Peter Steele from Type O Negative should be in the list...

[@BisolaAdebija]

I feel the reason they overdosed was due to depression, stress, hectic schedules, and the pressure of fame, which led to them turning to drugs to cope.

[@dadeo8957]

BS!

[@hugolafhugolaf]

They made bad choices and/or were too stupid to undo them.

I just hope David Gahan never relapses and ends up on a list like this, at any age.

[@jeanketten4119]

John Bonham was a great drummer.

[@philsparrowk-b3d]

I like the Rory Gallagher comment. That one was left out. David Byron of Uriah heep is the one I like. For lack of a better word. How can you like on someone's death. I feel he definitely ranks as one of the best singers ever.

So many heroin overdoses. The ultimate numbing drug. When the pain is too much to bear.😢

Most of these guys did drugs before they were famous and were broke, what do you expect when you give a junkbomb a million bucks?

[@jerryjingjo]

Doing cocaine at 76 is wild Ike Turner :(

[@johnnyintrieri]

Brian Jones was out of it. Yes. But, just before a contractor died, he confessed, throwing Brian in the pool. Brian owed him monies for work he'd done on his house. Jones was totally out of it. Let that contractor burn in HELL!!

[@jasonedwardledburynewzeala9897]

What is the guitar music used here? Nice laided back vibe.

Hard to feel sorry for any of the drug related deaths. So many over 35, it's difficult to imagine they didn't realize they were committing suicide.

[@nicolen.9642]

What's the guitar solo soundtrack? Please. Thank you. ✌

[@backagain5216]

27 seems to be the age to checkout. Sad.

At 27 its time to grow up. Can't put off adulthood any longer at 27.

David Byron a rockstar 24/7 but the bottle finally won rip

[@rockrane1]

According to a living Finnish rock legend, in the midst of long tours, changing accommodations, making records, etc., Heroin became a holiday in the midst of rush and stress.

[@hugginmuggin3457]

Wow I’ve never seen so many 27s 😮

[@jeffreygadson]

It’s called the 27 Club

[@GJones462-2W1]

Everyone in the music industry really needs to take it easy when they turn 27 years old! The 27 curse has taken a whole lotta 'em!

[@wistyrivendell1658]

Excellent video...thank you.

[@sandtoy11510]

It’s always an “accidental “ overdose, like the user wasn’t trying to stick a needle in his/her arm

[@ΝίκοςΜαραγκουδάκης-λ2ε]

Tim Buckley?

[@mojorisin7371]

It's crazy how many talents died at the same age for the same reasons. Drugs and alcohol are extremely powerful especially in the hands of over achieving people. They never can seem to find a balance, when the tolerance, pressures of the lifestyle, depression and self absorbed criticisms becomes too much to handle the need for a release is apparently obvious and these musicians give into the temptation. What they fail to realize is that the drugs and alcohol make the issues worst and creates a callus over any reasonable thoughts and instead inserts irrational and self loathing thoughts when these intoxicants aren't consumed. Causing in most cases irreversible damage. Unfortunately these talents never used the addiction of being successful and being a role model to their fans and using all that angst and irrational thoughts to music and relying on the strength of loyal people and themselves to overcome any odds they may face. Fortunately there are many talented artists that have and continue to impress with their musical and personal contributions. Sure some were lucky and most were smart enough not to cross that line ✌🏽♥️

[@fernanddominiquevitoux6447]

Yes, but we can also add the "friends" who gravitate around the celebrities, and who are in fact a swarm of parasites who are always close to the stars when they are bad and who have the little pill that will fix everything...

[@lennyramon622]

I don‘t think that killing yourself while being intoxicated is dying from an Overdose… Good Video though!!!

[@MrSadCloud]

I still don’t think Kurt shot himself with the amount of heroine in his system that shotgun would have been unstable and he would have never managed to get the barrel of the shotgun in his mouth. Not to mention he wouldn’t have been able to even get to the trigger his arms would be spazzing out

[@toothybj]

Wow, rock fans in 70/71 must have been freaking out…..Hendrix dies in 9/1970, Janis in 10/1970, and then Morrison in 7/1971…. All age 27 too. Weird.

[@desatormentandome]

Very good video. Sad to see how many gifted people are taken away by drugs or alcohol. And many artists don't die from drug use, but suffer addiction.

[@shandajames5444]

Heartbreaking!!!😢

[@tombstonexcadaver]

27 club 💔 I will never get over Prince, Michael Jackson, Tom Petty, and Taylor Hawkins Death 😭😭 also Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington either. Fuck it still hits me hard today. I was only a year old when Kurt Cobain left us

[@aarondanzy1678]

Layne Staley's death affected me the most. Then Chris Cornell then Chester Bennington

[@ThemBones0nmeh]

Layne Stayley I really wish u make more music😭

[@raaahferreira5070]

Jimmy The Rev Sullivan is missing from the video ✨

[@siralleycat9141]

While back in the day, most of them were credited for having drug overdoses. But over time, it surprisingly came to light that most of them died from alcohol, mostly by choking on their own vomit. I think the narrative the establishment wanted to convey at the time was that there is nothing wrong with drinking, it is all because of those bad drugs we can't find a way to tax that they died.

[@timurluzius2713]

Amy Winehouse 🖤🎸

[@crazyschnauzer]

They need to go through and revisit some of these overdose deaths to see if there's any ties to Diddy.

[@tedmich]

Good video! I minor quibble, 12:20 by adding "accidental" to Paul Grays overdose (and others) you imply all the other listed ODs may be people who wanted to take their own lives and this is not the case for many.

[@TammyDonohue-cc8rk]

Outstanding info thank you

[@tomdavis8757]

I thought Tom Petty died of a heart attack from years of drug use but also a very heavy smoker. RIP Mr. Petty

[@jordanposnik6663]

R.I.P. John Bonham

[@Idol76]

Don't feel bad for any of them, Zeppelin is my favorite band but I don't even feel bad for Bonham.They did it to themselves.

It’s because most are from working class backgrounds and end up with to much money therefore an endless supply of Drugs and no one to answer to 😳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@thinkforyourself2109]

Everyone has pain in their lives but they don't OD. These people were just plain stupid to do drugs. The rock music scene seems very toxic. Those who didn't get pulled into it dodged a bullet. Never heard of most of them. It's sad that they essentially committed suicide this way.

[@marcholland1554]

Nobody mentions the biggest drug of all.. the music itself.
