10 Rock Stars Who Died From Overdose

10 Rock Stars Who Died From Overdose Twelve rock stars. Twelve overdose deaths. And in almost every case — someone around them saw it coming. This isn't an obituary reel. It's the full story of what actually happened — before, during, and after — for twelve musicians whose deaths each left a permanent scar on rock history. Tommy Bolin replaced two legends and died the morning after opening for Jeff Beck at twenty-five. Hillel Slovak's death nearly ended the Red Hot Chili Peppers before they ever became who they are. Keith Moon died from the medication prescribed to help him stop drinking. John Bonham's death dissolved the greatest rock band that ever existed. Layne Staley told the world he was going to die — on the record, by name — six years before it happened, and no one could stop it. And Jimi Hendrix, twenty-seven years old, eighteen times the recommended sleeping pill dose, at a hotel in Notting Hill, with decades of music still inside him.
