    75 for a rock star is a good life.. I'd say he got lucky.. Dying hopefully in his sleep or by overdose in his hotel not the worst way to go.

    Sucks dying in a hospital for weeks with cancer, or some heart disease, doped up daily and just waiting to pass away.. Worse even Cancer and kemo....

    Take me out at 75 in a hotel in my sleep I'll be ok with that, would like to make 90 though and in good health not losing my mind is what I'm shooting for.

    He was married to Paulina for 28 years and just divorced last year is what I'm reading.. Could have died from a broken heart or just hit the dope up to hard in the hotel room alone and the old heart couldn't take it..

    Who frigg'n knows what demons these rock stars have? Look at Prince, Elvis and Michael Jackson for example. At 74 years old you shouldn't divorce that late in life as it can't be good. May get depressed and self medicate... Ease the pain, nothing to live for anymore type thinking, hit the hotel room alone and shoot the dope up and die.. ..

    I'm just speculating though maybe he died from natural causes..

    Damn, The Cars had some classic. His voice was one of a kind and stood out even amongst the great vocalists

    She was the one that found him, so the breakup must not have been that hostile.

    Cars were the best..

    Wanted to see this band play at the Hollywood bowl here in Cali one day. This is one band I never saw and I've seen them all live.

    Gotta check this off the bucket list as a no play ..

    That's a good thing for starters.. Like I said Veggie I was just speculating..

    28 years there the love doesn't go away over night for most.. That's a long time together..

    We need a musician death pool. Everyone throw 100 points in and give a name. First one that kicks the bucket takes the prize.

    Great idea

    We’d have posters stalking musicians and sprinkling Fentanyl powder on their French Toast
