Gone But Not Forgotten (updated!)
Submitted by Layla’s Classic Rock Blog
I just spent some time on my other blog “Gone But Not Forgotten” fine-tuning it a bit and making sure I had all my info correct. I think its officially up to date for the very first time ever! But, as always, please feel free to let me know if I have left someone off the list that you would like to see there.
Its stunning to see the toll that drugs and alcohol take on the lives of so many musicians. Some artists can go through long careers without becoming addicted, others get addicted and recover and sadly there are those that die either accidentally overdosing or from the damage of addiction.
Its also sad to note the suicides on the list.
I have several theories on why this is. Maybe I’ll write about it later.
