Description

A groundbreaking study by researchers at Liverpool John Moores University found that rock and pop stars were more than twice as likely to die prematurely as ordinary citizens. According to the study, the rate of premature mortality was particularly high during the first five years of fame, and analysts suggested that the music industry should be classified as a high-risk profession.
