We should remember anyone can go any time. Last Saturday my son, age 44 who was feeling fine, not using drugs was found unconscious. He had a cerebtal hemorrhage. Shock and sorrow....gone like that so young. Very painful to lose this kind person who was a help to so many people. My sympathies to this singers’ friends and family. I am praying to just get through my son’s service this next Monday.
I’m sorry for your loss.
I saw a program of an alcoholic who started drinking at the age of 19 when his dad died, and was dead of pancreas failure while in rehab for alcoholism at the age of 27.
Alcohol is just like drugs, because alcohol is also a drug.
So we should all drink, because...
What a jerk. Despite his problems, Scott Weiland had brought some enjoyment to my life through his work. I can't say the same thing about you.
RIP Scott, and I say a prayer for the repose of your soul.
“GI/intestinal problems had been alleviated by medication and he was no longer in chronic pain.”
As a veteran of numerous surgeries and a lifetime of some pretty harsh steroids and other chemical wonders to ‘alleviate’ that pain, believe me when I tell you there ain’t no such animal. And everything I have read says he was neither controlled nor in remission.
And that doesn’t even get into where his head was at. During remissions, you live knowing you’ll end up doubled over for days at a time and it’s just a matter of time before a relapse occurs. It wears on you. A lot.
Some of us can deal with it better than others. But when I imagine the stress he was under living in fear that millions of dollars and his whole career deal was subject to the whims of IBD, and knowing that stress is one of the biggest contributors to flare ups, I don’t see how it’s possible his condition was controlled in any way, shape or form.
Well he said in an on camera interview that he was feeling better than he ever had in his life and that it had been months since he had pain.
I never thought much of the grunge scene. They were a grunge band, weren’t they?
JFK and some of his buddies (including the author of "Conversations with Kennedy", who was one of the participants, and recounted it in the book) shot a super-8 of a simulation of JFK getting gunned down, and his idiot buddies were shaking catsup over his "body", everyone including JFK laughing it up. The movie has never seen the light of day afaik.
Wasn’t his credit card used after he died and his wife canceled the card rather than tracking the user?

Kurt Cobain’s Personal Credit Card Will Be Auctioned Off
We’re really scraping the barrel here, aren’t we?

...Easter Sunday at the Peninsula
Sunday, April 3rd.
Courtney called my office in Beverly Hills. She told me someone was using her husband’s credit card and she wanted me to try to find out who it was.
I took another investigator with me named Ben Klugman. We met Courtney at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. “If you leak this to the press, I’ll sue the f___ out of you,” Courtney warned me as we walked into the room.
Courtney told us her husband was Kurt Cobain and that he just left a drug rehab. She said she lied to the credit card company and had his card canceled. She wanted us to call the credit card company and find out what the attempted activities were on this canceled card. I mentioned I couldn’t understand why she needed us for that. I advised her she could do that herself and save some money. If we did it, I’d have to charge her fifty dollars just to make a phone call.
“What? That’s not enough money for you?” Courtney responded sarcastically
Courtney told us Kurt only had one credit card and without that one card he had no access to money. She said Kurt didn’t have any friends or anyone else that might loan him money. Knowing now who we were dealing with, this didn’t make sense!...
People die from alcohol overdose too. Bon Scott (AC/DC) for one. Also often a combination of drugs and alcohol where neither would kill by itself.
And we would believe him with millions of dollars at stake, why? Of course he would put the best public face on it. I don’t blame him. Who could? The level of Cash Nirvana was generating for the industry would dictate he said about anything in public to avoid potential problems there.
All I can say is what I know from my own experience with Chron’s Disease and the experience of many people I know with the diseases under the IBD umbrella. There are as many ‘levels of severity’ of it as there are people with it. KC had a bad case. The kind that isn’t well controlled or well controllable. Others have less severe cases and their lives are not massively impacted. His was from everything I have read of him, not one of those milder ones.
All I know about Stone Temple Pilot is Sour Girl. And SMG is the only reason I ever watched this video again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxS4lqppZ6Y
I figure that’s how they’re gonna find Willie. Dead on the tour bus.
Doesn’t surprise me, he could never kick his drug problem.
Good.

Aholes in every crowd. Thanks for outing yourself.
Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart
Good stuff, but then again, that's JMHO.
RIP.
I am so sorry for your loss. My son died 18 months ago. Just remember to breathe.
I think it’s time for The Beatles again
