Awesome Deceased Rock Stars

[ladyislingering]

Didn't know you grew up in Iowa. Always just assumed you were always from nordern mini-soda.

It happened in Fargo/Moorhead, I thought?

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Rory Gallagher



Cause of death: Infection following liver surgery

 

[Lynch]

It happened in Fargo/Moorhead, I thought?

They were on their way to Moorhead, but the plane crashed right after takeoff from Mason City, IA.

 

[Death on Credit]

Johnny Thunders



Cause of death: Drug related causes, likely the result of foul play.

Oh, shit, Lynch. My bad. (But yeah, I grew up in NW Minnesota.) I just remember seeing this article about the radio in Fargo getting a message either when the plane was having problems or after it went down, and must have read it incorrectly. Either way, Buddy Holly stole my heart when I was a young girl. ;D

The other foxy beast of my dreams:

Jim Morrison

Cause of death: Heroin overdose.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Bon Scott

Cause of death: Alcohol poisoning

Bon's voice had more personality than almost anyone. Just such a terrible lose even after all these years.

 

[Truckin]

Howard Duane Allman

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

A more recent one...

Ronnie James Dio



Cause of death: Stomach cancer


I'm still slightly in disbelief that Ronnie is gone...

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Cliff Burton

Cause Of Death - killed in a bus crash.

 

[WetWilly]

Ronnie Van Zant

Cause of Death (along with Band mates Steve & Cassie Gaines) Plane Crash
