There are plenty of famous and rich people who don’t off themselves.
The only reason the tragic ones get so much attention is they are in the limelight.

People who are always on the road and eating meals that are not him cooked die young.
I had it explained to me by a professional musician that much of the drug use and sex are the result of long hours of boredom between gigs.

Let’s face it - the life of a musician is not very healthy and considering the amount of substance abuse problems as a percentage of that small group there is little surprise that they don’t last as long as the rest of us.
With that said, it still amazes me that Mick Jagger is alive.

So many people struggle through life. Those who seem to hit life’s lottery and still snuff themselves is really ironic. I know most famous people don’t, but the percentage is much higher than the general population.

Keith Richards is the real miracle.

We have to think about what kind of a world we’re gonna leave Keef Richards when we die.
To: MtnClimber
None the less, the vast majority don’t die young. Just look at all the geriatric rockers still out there.

Average life expectancy of all rock stars would be 21.6 years, except Keith Richards keeps skewing the data...

Point taken, but still a bit surprised at Mick also.
Perhaps Ozzy Osbourne is the real miracle although it’s pretty obvious his brain is fried.

But Keith Richards proves that there is life after death. ;)

As a pro musician, I;ve recorded with rock stars. The good ones are pushing hard, tirelessly. It’s tough on them. None of the ones I’ve worked for did drugs, But they pushed themselves very hard.

He looks roundabout the age of Methuselah. I’ve seen all good people turn that way.
