You ever notice how everytime you open a paper or read this 
AMOEBLOG that it seems that yet another famous celebrity you
grew up listening to has passed on? And how it seems like the
ratio of rockers or rappers compared to regular folk 
dropping off the face of the earth is much greater? Well it 
doesn't just appear that way. It is that way. According to a
newly published British based study, according to Reuters, 
rap and rock music stars - "already notorious for their 
so-called "crash and burn" lifestyles -really are more likely
than other (regular everyday) people to die before
reaching old age." 

All of this is proven by the study of more than a thousand mainly British and
American artists, spanning the time from Elvis Presley's era 
up until two years ago (the years 1956 to 2005) in which the
study found these musician stars were "two to three times more
likely to suffer a premature death than the general population."
 

The study's results showed that between 
1956 and  two years ago that there
were a hundred deaths among the 
1,064 musicians examined by researchers
at the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool
John Moores University.
