I get there's much more all of these tragic singers have in common than not. Primarily they were rock singers dying before they became old men.
Kurt,Layne,C Cornell,Chester all gave up on life, though. Deciding to end it or in Layne's case become a recluse. Scott didn't. He went out swinging. He never gave up on life. Like his body couldn't keep up with his head. I never heard Scott talking about ending it. Or being so depressed he didn't want to go on. I dunno, not a consolation, but one of the better aspects of Scott that I saw was he always got up off the mat after being knocked down. These other guys, who I was a fan of at one time or another, just gave up. Big difference in my book. But all the same, too. They're all gone. Sigh.
