I've read that lots of musicians (probably their manager, crew, roadies etc) are used as cover to distribute large drug shipments since they tour the country and are allowed free access to large venues and cities.
The situation with Run DMC could be just another piece to the puzzle as the larger picture becomes more clear.
Strange how so many bands have suffered a horrible tragedy. Are they being punished for wanting out or for not following orders? Just a handful come to mind like Metallica, Tom Petty, Nirvana, AC/DC, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Michael Jackson, Prince, Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jimmy Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Ritchie Valens, Elvis, ....too many to list but strange nonetheless.
But lots of people have tragedies in their lives, they're just not famous enough that they pop easily into your head.
I mean your list spans 70 years of popular music worldwide. That's tens of thousands of people if not more. Several of the folks listed died of substance abuse, something that affects millions of people and something almost encouraged in the good time all the time atmosphere of rock and roll.
