So you wanna be a Rock Star....Facts to know

The average age at death for Americans----75
The average age at death for Rock Stars--- 37

I think we have all heard the factoid that:
Hendrix 27 ( drugs)
Joplin 27 (drugs and alcohol)
Morrison 27 (drug induced heart attack)
Cobain 27 (drug related suicide)

All died at exact same age and all within 1 year of each other.

These are just the headline names....there are thousands more. Might want to think twice before buying that guitar. Notbable mentions to Selena,John Denver and Karen Carpenter.
