Musicians who ctb

[wezel]

I'll start with a classical pianist.
Terence Judd, being considered by many as one of the greatest piano talents ever, was born in 1957 and killed himself in 1979 at age 22.
Here are 2 movements of Samuel Barber's piano sonata. At 2.10 min. starts the famous Fugue in a version that has never been matched by anybody else ever since.

Keith Emerson

It looks like you beat me to it. I remember this very well as a few years ago, I followed the story of his death and it is very disheartening to lose the ability to do what you prepared for your entire life. I can relate to his reasoning of wanting to CTB (on top of all his existing problems). He CTB'd via a firearm (.22LR revolver if I remember correctly).

 

[Shinkansen]

Hara, she committed suicide last year at 28.

 

[Dreamless Sleep]

Not a well known musician, but famous via family. Elvis' grandson who recently ctb via shotgun. Decided he wanted to be on the "musicians who died at 27" list.

Yes. He couldn't play as he used to and playing was what he most loved. RIP
