Have you ever sat down and marveled at the genius of some music composition? Were you so moved when watching a movie or play that the experience of it seemed to be on par with a spiritual nirvana?
We all have at some point and we can’t help but wonder at the talents that brought these gems to our lives. We followed them, cheered them and eventually mourned their unfortunate demise….caused by an abuse of both legal and illegal drugs.
One can never really know the struggle they went through behind closed doors to actually turn to drugs as a succour, some thought it was just a case of having a little too much money, others felt it was a lack of faith in God…so many assumptions but in the end, it might be seen as a really sad waste of life and talent.
Even though their deaths were abrupt, their works will always be a treasure to individuals around the world people,
Let’s take a moment to remember these extraordinary icons and view some clips of their performances that brought them fame, recognition and love from many around the world.
