I read about that in the Metro the other day, where it mentioned Winehouse and Doherty, and then reeled off a list of other rock stars who were killed by drugs - Joplin, Hendrix, Cobain.
Err, except Cobain wasn't killed by drugs - he was killed by a faceful of 12-gauge, the drugs were just symptomatic.
The high death toll has never been any surprise - take a group of people who are emotionally sensitive enough to create art that people can relate to, give them vast amounts of money and pampering, absolve them of any responsibility for their actions, legal or otherwise,then alternately laud them and hound them for their self-destructive lifestyle, until they self-destruct through overindulgence or suicide.
