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.
Forgot about Jam Master J. The murder of Boogie Down Productions’ Scott La Rock is another mysterious death in hip-hop not much talked about (where KRS One started.)
Someday I will sit down and make a whole topic on what you’re saying. Kurt Cobain is one example, sure he was mentally unhealthy but it’s common knowledge he was unhappy of the limelight and wanted to be off a major label so he could make more experimental music. Says so in Azzerad’s book. No way DGC (Geffen) was going to have that. So they scandaled him with Courtney Love’s help and drove him nuts.
Chris Cornell, was not a suicide and Chester Bennington, especially Chester (hell Linkin Park and Jay-Z even re-recorded an entire album together as a duo remix). What the heck, Jay-Z is a known Diddy cohort - did that have to do with his death?
Tom Petty, bless his soul but he made a lot of enemies in the music industry (rightly so) who sadly were able to get to him through his addictions.
Stewart Copeland from the Police, well known that his Dad was a CIA agent and Andy Summers (their very underrated guitar player) spent lots of time in Laurel Canyon in the 70s before he moved back to England to join up with Sting, Miles (Stew’s brother their manager) and him. They became the biggest band in the world in the span of five years.
Lots of military connections in classic rock. Not only Jim Morrison but Mike Rutherford (Genesis bass player and songwriter) his dad was a very highly respected British Naval figure. Seems suss as heck that Phil Collins “suddenly left” Genesis in the mid-90s and fell head first into working exclusively for Disney for a few years.
I could go on!
Edit: not saying anyone mentioned above is “black hat” or “white hat” we’ll just have to see. Would suck to find out some of my biggest influences in music and life are pedos 🤢 tho at this point I’m ready for it.

Because their drummer's Dad was in the CIA? is that the argument?

What are you talking about? Suddenly?
HIs first solo album was in 1981 with the massive worldwide hit In the Air Tonight.
He was a much bigger artist than Genesis at the time. He has 150 million sold as a solo artists. It's unusual he stayed in Genesis for as long as he did.
We all know Disney’s compromised, don’t you think it’s strange how Collins didn’t do anything outside of Disney during that time (mid 90s to early 00s?)
All his health problems started right after. And he wasn’t even touring or playing drums much then, because he was composing for Disney. It’s a rational reason to leave, everyone knew it, but that’s the easiest explanation offered to the public, on a silver platter.
Also, in regards to the Police, is it a coincidence John Belushi died after hanging out with their guitar player for some crazy times in Antigua? (See Summers’ autobiography.)

No. It's not only not a coincidence it's not even something that coincides.
And I think it was Bali.
