A variety of well-known musicians have tragically been the sufferer of homicide.
In lots of circumstances, their killer was once a whole stranger. That’s what took place to John Lennon, the cherished former-Beatle who was once infamously gunned down via a deranged fan outdoor of his rental development in New York. Likewise, Pantera’s “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott was once killed via a person he’d by no means met, shot and killed all the way through a live performance in 2004.
In different circumstances, the sufferer was once aware of their assassin. Such was once the case for Mountain bassist and co-founder Felix Pappalardi, who was once killed via his estranged spouse, and soul legend Marvin Gaye, who was once murdered via his father.
A stunning collection of musicians have merely been within the mistaken position on the mistaken time. Former Rise up singer Rhett Forrester, reggae legend Peter Tosh and drummer Philip Wilson of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band have been all killed in robberies long gone mistaken.
