Never heard of the guy.
Never heard of the band.

From youtube:

Probably a drug overdose.

"There are worse places to die than Majorca."

And not a bad time of year to die in Majorca either.

I mean, die there in late June, July, even into September and you'll live to regret it.

Majorca...speaking of which, from No No Song written by Hoyt Axton & a hit for Ringo Starr:

A WOMAN THAT I KNOW JUST CAME FROM MAJORCA, SPAIN,
SHE SMILED BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. (Parazzi! Parazzi!) (Olé!)
THEN SHE HELD OUT A TEN POUND BAG OF COCAINE,
SHE SAID IT WAS THE FINEST IN THE LAND.

AND I SAID,
“NO, NO, NO, NO, I DON’T [SNIFF] NO MORE,
I’M TIRED OF WAKING UP ON THE FLOOR.
NO, THANK YOU, PLEASE, IT ONLY MAKES ME SNEEZE,
AND THEN IT MAKES IT HARD TO FIND THE DOOR.”

Are you kidding me? Anyone who thinks two soddomites caressing each other before they perform vile acts is "hot" needs to have their head examined. Listen lady, you're not kinky enough for their sexual tastes. They are so f#cked up mentally that they have rejected the beauty and love of a woman for placing their p#nises into f3cal matter.

Ugg... gross, disgusting and sexually perverted!
