Don't know if i'm leading a sheltered life or what, but i was watching vh-1 classic and saw a show on different 80's bands and found out the lead singer of Big Country who had a problem with the bottle committed suicide a few years back. I know there a quite a few others who are no longer with us, just wondering how many more i missed?
