Fame comes and goes, but for some music stars, the end of their careers does not come from the loss of fame, but from the loss of life itself.

These fallen musicians, brilliant in their own right, are a tragic loss to humanity. But as their lives end, their music lives on.

This is how we remember them.

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse was an English singer-songwriter whose songs “Rehab” and “Back to Black” earned her five Grammy Awards. Known for her deep contralto voice, she performed jazz and soul music with flawless mastery.

Throughout his short life, he battled drugs and alcohol, and it was a battle completely covered by the press. His last concert in Serbia was a disaster after Winehouse appeared drunk on stage. Unfortunately, his tour was canceled after his performance.

She was tragically found dead in her London apartment on July 23, 2011. Police have yet to verify the cause of her death. He was 27 years old.

Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain was a musician, composer, and artist. His claim to fame was being the lead singer of the band Nirvana.

Cobain was known for writing songs about gender equality and the end of racism and homophobia. While his chosen genre is alternative music, his message touches everyone.

His songs “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Come As You Are” are still played on the radio to this day. Kurt Cobain is listed as the twelfth greatest guitarist of all time by the Rolling Stones magazine.

Like many other brilliant musicians, Cobain was persecuted throughout his career. His vocal support for blacks and homosexuals made him a target of white conservatives.

It didn’t help that he was waging a losing war on drugs and depression.

Cobain was suicidal. He was in and out of rehab for the last days of his life, but in the end, death won out. He was found dead in his Washington Lake home with a bullet to the head. He died at the age of 27.

Michael jackson

The King of Pop is one of the most controversial figures to grace the music scene.

His career began early, as the lead singer of the family singing group Jackson 5. His songs “Big Boy” and “I’ll Be There” instantly rose to the top of the charts.

His musical genius was immediately noticed by record executives, and in 1979 his first solo album Off the Wall hit record stores.

From there, Jackson’s career took off. His album Thriller produced hits like “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.” It remains the best-selling album of all time with an estimated 110 million copies sold worldwide. This was followed by songs like “Heal the World”, “Black or White”, from his album Dangerous.

However, after 1991, Jackson withdrew from the spotlight. His album Invincible received a cold reception. His downward spiral continued with cases of child abuse, a divorce from his first wife Lisa Marie Presley, and rumors of bankruptcy.

In March 2009, Jackson announced a series of concerts that he said would be his last.

He never made it to that last series of concerts. A few weeks before the first show, he suffered a cardiac arrest and was found dead in his bed in his rented mansion in Los Angeles. The cause of his death was said to be a drug overdose.

However, his passing didn’t stop Michael Jackson from making that final performance. His posthumous documentary “This is It,” which contains footage from his essays, grossed $ 260 million worldwide.

The King of Pop died at the age of 50.

John Lennon

We know John Lennon for many things: he was the founding member of the Beatles, the English rock band that took the world by storm throughout the 1960s. He was a peace activist whose wise words became a voice of sanity during the darkest days of the Vietnam War. His signature songs “Imagine” and “Give Peace a Chance” became the anthem of the anti-war movement.

In the end, however, his fame killed him. On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was murdered, shot four times in the back by a man named Mark David Chapman, who later said he did it because Lennon was famous and killing him would create for the murderer “instant notoriety, fame.”

Lennon died in the arms of his wife, Yoko Ono.

Revered in both death and life, Lennon was declared by the Rolling Stones magazine as the fifth greatest singer of all time. A BBC poll also named him the eighth largest Briton to ever exist.

Lennon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
