Hi all,
For the Dutch magazine I´m writing for I was asked to do a research article about the early death of musicians/ rock´stars´, as is concluded in this study.
Please help me with any input you have. Do you think that drug abuse is caused by the pressure of media/fans/record companies/keeping up an image/etc., or that it mostly occurs áfter the big fame, when the parties are over and depression hits?
What about the high rate of suicide in this bussiness? According to this interesting website, cause #1 is even heart attack.. any explanations? Any anecdotes from out of the studio, other musicians, bandmembers, crew, etc.??
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers! Maarten
