Did you know that Brian Jones was told by a medium to avoid water? Or that Buddy Holly only decided to fly so he'd have time to finish his laundry? The Encyclopedia of Dead Rock Stars reveals the truth behind these and thousands of other fascinating stories. This is the bible of pop music?s dead -- the ultimate record of all those who arrived, rocked, and checked out over the last forty-odd years of fast cars, private jets, hard drugs, lethal weapons, and reckless living. Jeremy Simmonds draws on a lifetime's obsession to match the industry's biggest departed stars -- Buddy, Jeff, Sid, Jimi, Biggie, Janis, Elvis, Marc, Tupac -- with more than a few lesser-known tales of rock tragedy. He also includes a smorgasbord of lighter-hearted sidebars, including strange facts, lucky escapes, and top-ten death discs. An indispensable reference full of useful and useless information, with hundreds of photos (b&w) of the good, the bad, and the silly. 604 Pages
