Why do musicians die so young?
Do they burn there wicks out to fast or something.
Do they not care or have any concept of restraint?
Some musicians i just don't think are made to live very long and don't fit in with life anyway.

Was determined to be a cocaine overdose. His body was found in his house...approximately SIX DAYS after he died. 6 days...I guess nobody missed him.

Layne Staley of Alice in Chains lay in his apartment for a long time too before anyone bothered to bust the door down.
It's gotta suck, being an egomaniac, to go from complete adulation to...
...no calls

Don't put him in with dubrow, he wasn't the egomaniac dubrow was.
He did, however, have a monkey on his back.

Being a performer myself, I can say that it takes a certain amount of ego-maniacal narcissism to confidently get on a stage, accept adulation and expect to be paid for it.

True true.
I think a large part of Layne's problem was his inability to cope with fame. His complete misunderstanding of the adulation and fear of being found out as a fraud.
Not saying that he was a fraud, but a person who looks at themselves as a normal, everyday guy who is suddenly thrust into a spotlight and surrounded by sycophants will question the motives of those around them and what is expected of them.
Being elevated to a near god-like standing and the fear that goes with that of being found out as a mere mortal...

Jeez, and I always thought Layne's problem was heroin.

Actually, Layne lost a bunch of friends previous to his passing. He coped with fame just fine. It was the fact that Andrew Wood passing on in 1992, opened a floodgate of deaths around him.
Not to mention his liver was trashed by 1999 because of the heroin and cocaine addictions. The drugs were a crutch for him long before Alice In Chains became mainstream, all the way back to 1987.
