Yeah, definitely. I'm certainly not picking on any "type" of musician. I'm just saying when the news media reports on these deaths they should start with the cause and go into morbid detail about how the deceased got to that point. Then we can talk about their "greatness" all we want. But the embedded memory should be their fall from grace with drugs/alcohol.

Thru social media it's been discussed. News media made a big deal about him having a flu like illness that required an emergency landing of his plane a few days ago. Actually he OD'd on Percoset (sp?). They landed and gave him a shot to get him going again and he checked himself out and went on his way. Got hooked on pain killers a few years ago from an injury. Went downhill from there. Sad. Very sad. Extremely talented. But let's remember him for his lack of self control, not for his ability to play instruments. The list of junkie musicians is huge. Again, I think that contributes to today's society accepting drug abuse........

Sadly, we'll never know on network media. They'll cover it up and when that doesn't work, quit talking about it. I.E., Michael, Whitney.
