I presume spontaneous combustion or bizzare gardening accidents contribute to the high accidental deaths for Metal

Pretty evident, looking at the illnesses, that Folk and Jazz artists live for ever and Rap and Hip Hop artists die young from gunshot wounds.

Well i became 28 years old yesterday, thus surviving an entire year with the axe just waiting to fall on me. And tonight I'm playing folk music, which together i think means I'm not a rockstar

So if I'm not a rockstar, and I'm still alive at 28, that must be conclusive proof that ALL rock stars die at 27

ah, but it says in the piece that more die at 28 than at 27. . .

A lot of suicides among the metal players. I would have thought it would be more the fans topping themselves.

I'd have thought Jazz would have claimed more lives.

Not when you realise that there are always substitutions of substitutions.

I was a year younger than Amy Winehouse, it was pretty weird when she died.

Sadly in her case I think it became a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Lost a great singer when Amy died. I really liked her voice, it was so distinctive and she was really great live.
