Musicians who committed suicide
KharBevNor:
Phil Ochs is in the first post.
Somnium, Finntroll's old guitarist, may have killed himself, or he may have just been so drunk he fell off a bridge. The latter is the official story.
Jon Nodtveidt from Dissection shot himself at the climax of some sort of bizarre Satanic rite.
TheMooseOfDeath:
I actually went through all the names on that wiki page (from the first reply) to get a good idea of whose music to look up, though it was tough getting a good idea of the quality of their body of work, considering I was just skimming through them. Two of the most interesting ones (to me) were Dede Fortin, who committed hara-kiri :-o and Yukiko Okada, who was a J-pop idol in the 80s, killed herself at age 18. Crazy stuff, man.
Phil Ochs is such an amazing musician. I don't agree with his politics, but everyone on the political spectrum could definitely appreciate his passion and sharp writing. He doesn't get nearly enough recognition.
JD:
Richey Edwards from Maniac Street Preachers, went off and disappeared in 1993. Presumed dead since 2008
Does that count as suicide?
Inlander:
Yes seeing as how the accepted wisdom is that he almost certainly killed himself.
EDIT: Oh man, I'd totally forgotten that J. J. Johnson shot himself 'cause he had cancer. Now I'm bummed.
E. Spaceman:
Anton Maiden
