“I hate myself and want to die” <\/em><\/p>\n

-Kurt Cobain<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLive fast, die young”- the old principle of rock ‘n’ roll<\/a> have already taken many because it was taken too literally. To know that too much alcohol, cigarettes, drugs and unprotected sex are bad for health<\/strong>, you do not really need too much studies.<\/p>\n

[CustomTables]<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, stars are more than twice as likely to die at an early age compared to other people<\/strong>. North American prominent musicians who considered the study were on average 42 years old, European Stars died on average even earlier, with 35 years already. Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty<\/a>, 28, it would therefore have to live another seven years.<\/p>\n

Drugs, alcohol and a life with much stress and few limits: the life of a rock and pop star is often viewed as a glamorous life, but it also has many downsides for many artists. According to an Australian study, popstars live average 25 years less<\/strong> than the average US population. They divided the cause of death in three categories – suicide, murder and accident – and compared the frequency with those of the corresponding general population with the same age and decade.<\/p>\n

A study found that the life expectancy of stars is up to 25 years shorter than that of the comparison group. The risk of accidents is therefore five to ten times<\/strong>, the suicide rate two to seven times as high. But the risk of becoming a victim of a violent crime, is significantly greater for prominent musicians – namely up to eight times. Really disturbing.<\/p>\n

Other scientists studied the fate of nearly 1,500 rock and pop stars who became famous in 1956-2006. In North America about nine percent of them died prematurely with an average age of 45 years<\/strong> and in Europe with an average age of almost 40 years. In almost 40 percent of cases, drug use and car accidents were the cause of death.<\/p>\n

While in the United States but 23 percent of the deceased solo musician the average life expectancy is not reached, there were among musicians in bands only ten percent. In Europe, the figure was just under ten percent five percent.<\/p>\n

Other researchers have found two years ago that it makes a tremendous difference whether the musicians came as a soloist or as part of a band to fame. According to a study published in the medical journal “BMJ Open<\/a>” study, the proportion of premature death among soloists is twice as high<\/strong> as that of those rock stars who belonged to a famous group.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, there were far fewer early deaths in the late 1980s. Scientists call for two reasons: It could be due to better treatments for the consequences of heroin abuse – or to the fact that the music scene changed from hard rock<\/strong> of the 1970s to the pop of the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Anyway, being a musician is a rough road, we can be sure about that. Let’s investigate the tragic story of six stars, who died prematurely<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

6. Kurt Cobain<\/h2>\n

\"Stars<\/p>\n

Kurt Donald Cobain was born on February 20, 1967 in Aberdeen, his mother was a waitress and his father was a mechanic. Cobain was a fairly antisocial child<\/strong>, who was hard to handle. Smells like teen spirit from the Nevermind album<\/a> became such a hugh success, which was hard to work up for Kurt Cobain.<\/p>\n

Then in the interview room he just kept saying that neither he nor other members of the band did not expect such a success<\/strong>. We can conclude from the latter statement that the then 24 year old boy did not know how to deal with the new situation and the sudden hysteria created around them, so he started to take hard drugs, particularly heroin.<\/p>\n

“ Did not expect such a success ”<\/p>\n

Nirvana toured Europe in early 1994. On March 4 Courtney Love<\/a> found him unconscious in his hotel room in Rome. Kurt Cobain has taken some medication with alcohol<\/strong>, which could seem as a suicide attempt at first sight, but later he said it was just an accident.<\/p>\n

The tour stopped, Cobain flew back to Seattle, where his wife and his friends persuaded him to go to rehab for heroin addiction<\/strong>, but he escaped after one week from there. Afterwards they found his corpse in his house in Seattle on April 8. Kurt Cobain shot himself<\/a> with a rifle three days earlier, on April 5, at the age of 27. Really sad story.<\/p>\n
