Tom D, I had never heard of Andreas Schell. I will listen to some of his stuff later.
All this makes me think if ILXers contribute stuff to Wikipedia as a group. Kind of like a giving back to the community with all the knowledgeable people here.

Bobby Fuller, if we are to believe the reports
Sad that this is true - otherwise, there'd be an excellent "suicide by cop" joke to be made...

Obviously I didn't mean crying in a dark room with a gun in his hand- more like what's above...

yeah i know .. but still, there are limits .. a dedicated thread for one artist as to how he could die .. soz. i may be a little over sensitive to such a groove (i have my reasons etc)..

come on people, it's 2013 and musicians are DYING
Johnny Ace? Heard one of those "on this day" bits on the radio Christmas Day, the story that he killed himself playing Russian Roulette. Just looked at the Wikipedia entry, which disputes that with testimony he was just showing off, telling everyone the gun wasn't loaded. Either way, pointing a gun at yourself and pulling the trigger seems like halfway to suicide regardless of context.
