Suffering from crippling OCD at times, Joey Ramone was nonetheless an iconic, punk counterculture rock and roll icon as lead singer and songwriter of The Ramones. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy – the original Ramones, all deceased – never achieved million-seller status for any of their 14 albums but their legacy extends well beyond the five NYC boroughs, with Joey’s snarling vocals and gangly, leather jacketed image turning him into a 20th century countercultural icon.

Steve Peregrin Took

popular name: Steve Peregrin Took

date_of_death: October 27, 1980

age: 31

cause_of_death: Asphyxiation after inhaling a cocktail cherry during drug use

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: One-half of the founding members of T. Rex with Marc Bolan, Steve Peregrin Took was by all accounts a remarkable musician and songwriter - when he was sober. After two years and three albums, Took's push to perform more of his own material – as well as his drug use – had driven a wedge between Marc and Steve and Took was fired from the group. He went on to a series of short-lived bands, but never came close to the success Bolan achieved without him. Sadly, relegated to the history books as the Pete Best of glam rock, he is cruelly remembered as the rock star who choked on a cocktail cherry and died.

Adolph Rickenbacker

popular name: Adolph Rickenbacker

date_of_death: March 21, 1976

age: 88

cause_of_death: Cancer

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Adolph Rickenbacker was a Swiss-American remembered as one of the co-founders of the Rickenbacker guitar, and one of the key people who was responsible for the creation and adoption of electric guitars that managed to change the shape and sound of the modern music industry altogether. The Rickenbacker International Corporation (RIC) grew out of the first company founded for the sole purpose of creating and manufacturing fully electric musical instruments and amplifiers-the Los Angeles-based Electro String Instrument Corporation. Founded in 1931 by Adolph Rickenbacker and George D. Beauchamp, this pioneering firm produced "Rickenbacker Electro Instruments", the first modern electric guitars. RIC's history now spans 92 years in business on the leading edge of music trends that have changed popular culture forever. Played by Hawaiian musicians of the 1930s to jazz bassists of the 1990s, by the Beatles the Byrds and Tom Petty (to name just a few) the ringing sound of Rickenbacker instruments has helped define music as we know it today.

Bon Scott

popular name: Bon Scott

cause_of_death: Acute alcohol poisoning

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Bon Scott, born Ronald Belford Scott on July 9, 1946, in Forfar, Scotland, was the iconic lead singer and lyricist of the Australian rock band AC/DC. His family emigrated to Australia in 1952, settling in Fremantle, Western Australia. Known for his distinctive raspy voice, wild stage presence, and rebellious charisma, Scott joined AC/DC in 1974 and quickly became a driving force behind the band's early success. He helped craft their raw, hard-hitting sound and contributed memorable lyrics to classic albums like High Voltage, Let There Be Rock, and Highway to Hell. Tragically, at the height of his career, Scott died on February 19, 1980, in London at the age of 33, reportedly from acute alcohol poisoning. Fans around the world visit his grave at Fremantle Cemetery in Australia.
