This Day in Rock History - July 3rd
Much is made about “the day the music died,” commemorating the day that Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper perished in a single plane crash.
Today is pretty sad as well.
1967: Brian Jones, one of the founding members of the Rolling Stones is found face down in his swimming pool, an apparent drug related death.
1971: Jim Morrison is also found in water. The Doors’ lead singer is discovered in his Paris bathtub. The cause of his death was officially listed as “heart failure,” although there is also evidence that it may have been a drug overdose.
