Awesome Deceased Rock Stars

Marc Bolan



Cause of death: Vehicular collision with a tree. He died instantly.

(Why this one's important to me: Marc died in the way that I am most terrified of - when I learned of this, which wasn't long ago, my heart dropped, and later I learned what a terrific musician he was.)

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Randy Rhoads



Cause of death: Plane crash

(This is one that still makes me sad every time...)

John Winston Lennon

Cause of death: Murder by gunshot.

Words cannot express the sunshine and love that glows in my heart every time I see a photo of John, especially when he's smiling.

Bon Scott

Cause of death: alcohol overdose

Although Brain Johnson did a great job replacing Scott as the frontman, who knows what kind of path AC/DC would've gone down with Scott as the frontman to this day? We will never know sadly. Such a great, unique singing voice...
