    It's usually not the "illegal" drugs that kill, it's the prescription drugs mixed with alcohol.  If Doctors have to prescribe these to addicts, they have to explain that if you mix xanax or valium with alcohol, you will STOP BREATHING AND DIE.

    Nothing wrong with recreational use of drugs if you use them safely and properly.

    I have a mild prescription for Xanax (.25 mg) mostly for flying.  It's plain as day on the label as well as on the prescription information sheet you receive with the drug that it should not be mixed with alcohol.  Not to mention the conversation you have with your doctor.

    If I take one tablet and have 1-2 beers, I'm OK.  If I take 5 and have a bottle of wine along with a couple of drinks and possibly throw another prescription in there, maybe I die.  

    That's the difference.  These people who have died can't control themselves.

    I am sure they know that, who doesn't? Its a matter of them thinking it won't happen to them. Like they are invinceable (sp?). They think they have built their tolerence up and they take as much as they want.

    I don't think the hate is for the drug. The hate is for what the drug has done to someone. Like kill them. Paul McCartney is a known pothead (did time smuggling some into Japan on Wings tour) but still keeps going. When Elvis, Janis, Jimi, or Whitney die, we will never know what they could have done next. Can you imagine (no pun intended Lennon) what we could have heard had they lived? That's what angers me. The musical life lost. And it's not just pills or H, John Bonham did 50 shots of vodka, and then..............no more Led Zepplin

    Doesn't even have to be a drug. Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Big Bopper, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Otis Redding, the voice of Lynard Skynard.................

    Accidental death from misuse of prescription drugs is common in the United States.  Many people make mistakes and not just celebrities.

    Accidental death from misuse of prescription drugs is common in the United States.  Many people make mistakes and not just celebrities.

    So true, but when it is a celebrity so many feel then need to slam and belittle them

    Histrionic personality disorder. It's sad

    Absolutely true.  I read a story once where a woman drank a bunch when she was on a prescription drug....she passed out on the couch with her infant, rolled over on her as she was passed out, and killed the child.

    Stuff happens all the time....it's just publicized more when it's a known person or celebrity.

    Another example, crap. His lead guitarist, Randy Rhoads, was killed when a plane crashed into the tour bus. Fucking pilot decided to buzz the tour bus with Rhoads in the plane, clipped a wing, and spiraled into a pine tree, then crashed into a garage, burst into flames..........................

    Doesn't even have to be a drug. Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Big Bopper, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Otis Redding, the voice of Lynard Skynard.................

    If Wings, Ringo Starr's All Starr Band, and the Plastic Ono Band were any indication of what was to come, we should be grateful The Beatles stopped when they did.

    Some comedian (can't remember his name) said something like this on "oh what could they have done if the were alive": "Imagine a 65 year old Jimi Hendrix singing a duet with Elton John at the Super Bowl"...

    Nah, a lot of musicians should have "died" (retired) long time ago..

    In some of these cases it's the money that kills them - people around them wanting more and more (record labels, managers etc.).

    Whitney did a concert here in Sweden. According to reviews and people I know who were there it was a complete joke. Drunk, couldn't remember the lyrics, fell over etc.
    But hey... She made $36 million dollars from that tour.. And still they say she was broke? Who got that money?

    Getty, what really killed the Beatles was Yoko Oh No.........

    Wings/All Starr/Ono Band were not the best example of each of them.

    But, when they, along with George Harrison, were The Beatles, they were pretty damn good, you'll have to agree. Moving into the '70s would have been a bitch for them. The rise of heavy metal probably would have sunk them. Because, in their time, THEY were the rebels, with their "long" hair, and "controversial" lyrics
