But not everyone ended up living a long, rich life. We present to your attention a list that includes deceased musicians who passed away at a young age.

The concerts had incredible energy. And the main credit for the success belongs to Morrison. He was not only a vocalist, but also a composer of music.

Photo: vesti22.tv This name is familiar to every resident of our country. It was Viktor Robertovich Tsoi who once and for all changed the face of Russian rock music. It only took him a few years. At a young age, Victor became interested in Western and Soviet music, which ultimately led to the formation of the legendary Kino group. The band played in the popular post-punk genre of the 80s. Viktor Tsoi was not only the main vocalist, he also personally composed the lyrics and played the guitar.
The musician died on August 15, 1990 as a result of a car accident. His car crashed into an Ikarus bus driving along the highway. Tsoi died on the spot, but left an incredible legacy in the form of songs that can be heard on the streets of cities today.
Photo: 4words.ru Thrash metal band Metallica is well known even to people who have little interest in foreign rock music. Their songs are heard on the radio, in films and TV series, the musicians travel all over the world every year, invariably attracting stadiums of thousands to capacity. Metallica's influence on modern music is difficult to overestimate. And one of the key members of the band, undoubtedly, was bass guitarist Cliff Burton.
He was distinguished by an atypical manner of playing, as well as incredible virtuosity. In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine recognized Cliff as one of the greatest bass players of all time. However, the musician did not live that long. Cliff Burton died on September 27, 1986. This happened while traveling on a bus from one city to another.

He released great amount tracks that became classics of the genre many years ago.

The musician had the opportunity to undergo an operation that would help avoid death.

Photo: bnrp.ru First on the list is the most famous musician of the last 25 years, who managed to literally change the face of the American underground rock scene. By the end of the 80s, thrash and heavy metal, popular in those years, began to lose ground, changing their sound and trying to keep up with the times. Hardcore and punk also survived far from better times in its history. The audience wanted to hear something new and unusual. It was during this period that the young musician Kurt Cobain assembled the group Nirvana and began performing music in the grunge genre. In fact, it was he who was one of the founders of this musical direction, which was distinguished by a somewhat careless sound and appearance musicians.
Over the course of several years, Cobain brought grunge from basements to large arenas, thanks to which millions of fans around the world learned about the group. However, being at the peak of his fame, Kurt Cobain, for reasons unknown to anyone, shot himself at home. It happened on April 5, 1994.
Each of the above musicians made a tremendous contribution to the development of music. Several generations of listeners have grown up listening to their songs. But unfortunately, we will never hear new compositions performed by them.
That's all we have. We are very glad that you visited our website and spent a little time to gain new knowledge.

Born in Cherepovets into the family of a factory worker and school teacherAlexander Bashlachev was destined for the role of one of the founding fathers of Russian rock. His wide fame began in 1984 after meeting with Artemy Troitsky, who invited a talented musician from the provinces to hold several so-called “apartment performances” in Moscow and Leningrad.
Alexander's piercing songs instantly turned him into a Soviet rock star. However, at that moment rock was not officially recognized by the authorities, and its heroes had more problems than joy from their fame.
In 1985-1986, Bashlachev actively performed under the auspices of the famous Leningrad rock club, officially listed as a fireman in the boiler room, known to all rock and roll fans under the nickname “Kamchatka”. The most famous fireman of this boiler house was Victor Tsoi, who glorified her in his work.
In 1987, Bashlachev actively performed and also took part in the filming of documentary film"Rock" Alexey Uchitel. However, in the midst of work on the film, the musician refused further cooperation.
Bashlachev, who burned himself out from the inside with his dedication to creativity, did not live to see the time of official recognition of rock in our country. On February 17, 1988, he fell from the eighth floor window of a residential building in Leningrad. According to the official version, the musician committed suicide. He was 27 years old.
Alexander Bashlachev had a huge influence on Russian rock. Almost all famous Russian rockers of the late 1980s - early 1990s have songs dedicated to his memory.
Viktor Tsoi, 28 years old
Native of Leningrad Victor Tsoi outlived Bashlachev by only a couple of years, but he managed to see universal popularity and recognition. Having started, like Bashlachev, with apartment dwellers, Tsoi in 1981 created the Kino group, which, with the help Boris Grebenshchikov Recorded her first album that same year. The popularity of the group grew along with the attention to it law enforcement. In 1983, Tsoi, in order to avoid conscription into the army, had to go through mental asylum. In the eyes of the underground public, this only added to the popularity of Tsoi and Kino.
At the beginning of perestroika, Kino was among those Soviet rock bands whose work became known in the West thanks to the Red Wave project. Tsoi's fame in the USSR was added by a small, but bright role in film Sergei Solovyov"Assa."
In 1989, Tsoi met Yuri Aizenshpis, who became the producer of Kino. Tsoi's musical talent and Aizenshpis's managerial talent gave a fantastic result - in just a few months, Kino turned from just one of the Soviet rock bands into the undisputed leader of the scene.
Kino's concerts sold out stadiums, and the group's popularity went beyond the rock audience itself. In terms of exalted young fans, Tsoi almost surpassed the pop idol Yuri Shatunova.
Everything ended suddenly on August 15, 1990. Viktor Tsoi's car was involved in an accident in Latvia, and the musician died on the spot. According to the official version, Tsoi, who was working on a new album, fell asleep at the wheel from overwork. He was 28 years old.
Yana Diaghileva, 24 years old
Like most Russian rock stars, Yana Diaghileva, better known by her stage name Yanka, comes from a simple Soviet family— her parents were engineers.
Yana studied piano at a music school, but soon chose the guitar. A pronounced humanitarian, the girl at school was very fond of literature, especially poetry. After school in her native Novosibirsk, she entered the Institute of Water Transport Engineers, which she soon dropped out of. In search of herself, Yana went to Leningrad, where she was greatly impressed by local rockers, especially Alexander Bashlachev.
However, Yanka’s own musical and poetic experiments remained purely amateur performances until 1987, when she met Egor Letov.
It was Letov, who took Yanka under his wing, who allowed her talent to fully develop. Many of Yana Diaghileva’s friends believed that Letov, to some extent, ruined her - Letov’s powerful energy had a heavy influence on the girl, she began to experience bouts of acute depression.
During three years She, together with Civil Defense, traveled around the country, giving concerts and recording albums.
Yankee's wide fame will be posthumous - her recordings will become known everywhere in the early 1990s, when the girl is no longer alive.
On May 9, 1991, Yana Diaghileva left her dacha near Novosibirsk, and no one saw her alive again. On May 17, her body was found by a fisherman in the Inya River. To this day, there are three versions of Yankee's death: accident, suicide and murder. The first was accepted by the official bodies, the second was favored by relatives and friends, the third was put forward by Yegor Letov and the leader of the group “Cherny Lukich” Vadim Kuzmin- in their opinion, Yana became a victim of drunken hooligans. Be that as it may, the rock star died at the age of 24.
In June 2013, where she lived.
Yuri Khoy, 35 years old
Leader of the Gas Sector group Yuri Klinskikh, better known by his pseudonym Khoy, is one of two notable figures in Russian rock who were never actually officially recognized by the authorities in the post-Soviet period. But if Yegor Letov was not recognized by the authorities for political reasons, then Khoy and the Gas Sector remained in a semi-legal position due to unlimited profanity in his works.
Before the start of his rock career, Yuri Klinskikh, born in Voronezh into a working-class family, had a classic Soviet biography - school, army, service in the traffic police, work at a factory.
Having written songs for himself, Yuri Klinskikh chose a creative path after the appearance of a rock club in Voronezh. After a number of solo performances, Yuri formed his own group, called the Gas Sector. This name had nothing to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict - this was the unofficial name of one of the districts of Voronezh with a poor environment.
“Sector Gas” immediately stood out among other groups own style- an incredible mixture of Russian folklore and punk rock. Perhaps the style most accurately reflects the title of one of Khoy’s songs - “Collective Farm Punk”.
The group was wildly popular in the first half of the 1990s, but the authorities carefully ignored it, only occasionally allowing it to appear on television with a few songs in which there was no obscenity. That is why things like the legendary “Punk Opera about the Tsar and three sons"sounded only from the windows of houses and cars.
By the end of the 1990s, the songs of the Gas Sector became more restrained, and Hoy himself, according to friends, had problems with drugs, which affected the content of his later songs.
On July 4, 2000, Yuri Khoy, who was filming a video for the song “Night of Fear,” died suddenly, according to the official version, from heart attack. He was 35 years old.
After Khoy’s death, one of the participants in the Gas Sector Igor Kushchev tried to continue the existence of a group called "Ex-Gas Sector". In general, the project was received with hostility by Hoy’s fans, but the group achieved at least one success - the composition “Drank Up” was performed in the crime comedy Guy Ritchie"Rock 'n' Roller"
Egor Letov, 43 years old
The leader of the group “Civil Defense” Yegor Letov was the last representative of the first wave of Russian rock who remained in the underground all his life.
While many of his comrades from the 1980s were favored by the authorities in the post-Soviet period, Letov remained faithful to the principle “I will always be against!”
Having suffered a lot from the persecution of rock in the USSR, the leader of Civil Defense after the change political regime He didn’t just declare himself a communist, but proved his views with action. In 1993, he performed at the barricades near the White House, supporting opponents with his songs Boris Yeltsin. In 1996, Letov was perhaps the only musician who did not join the “Vote or Lose” tour in support of Boris Yeltsin’s presidential election campaign, but, on the contrary, supported the communist leader Gennady Zyuganov.
Such stubbornness did not go unnoticed - for television and radio, “Civil Defense” seemed not to exist at all. Often, Letov’s concerts were disrupted on purpose, and the audience was dispersed by riot police with batons.
The true role and influence of Letov on Russian rock is evidenced by the number of participants in the Civil Defense Tribute project, where best songs Egor was performed by leading CIS musicians.
After 2004, when Letov announced his departure from political life, the attitude of the authorities towards him softened. Nevertheless, official recognition did not go beyond club concerts. However, Letov himself never saw this as his goal.
On February 19, 2008, Igor Fedorovich Letov (real name of the rock musician) died of cardiac arrest. There was a lot of different information regarding the reasons for the death of the Russian rock star, alcohol and drugs were mentioned, but Letov’s relatives denied this in every possible way. He was 43 years old.
No matter how bad an example these rockers set, they will still remain forever in our hearts.
No. 10. Yura Khoy
Leader of the Gaza Strip group. As a self-respecting outcast, he died of cirrhosis of the liver (according to the most official version, of a heart attack). Did he know that eleven years later his bandmate would also give his soul into the clutches of the green serpent?
Video fragment of one of the concerts in the Gaza Strip. Song - “In the evening on a bench.”
Attention: profanity
No. 9. Vadim Glukhov
Guitarist of the band Gaza Strip. All Soviet boys picked out his guitar parts by ear, learning simple tunes with no less in simple words. Now we will have to be content with what remains in the recording - Vadim will not play anything else: on January 18, 2011, he drank 8 bottles of Corvalol and joined the clan of the late rockers, poisoning himself with the ethyl alcohol contained in the medicine. Here are the lyrics:
No. 8. Victor Tsoi
Leader of the Kino group. Thanks to him, August 15 is considered a black day for all “Soviet youth”: it was on that fateful morning that the artist’s Muscovite encountered the ill-fated Ikarus near Riga. It is still believed that Tsoi fell asleep at the wheel.
No. 7. Igor Talkov
Until now, music historians cannot decide: who fired the fatal shot into the rock singer’s heart - Aziza’s bodyguard Malakhov, or Talkov’s administrator Valery Shlyafman? The only 100% fact is that Igor is no more.
No. 6. Jim Morrison
Leader of The Doors. There are still many options for his death: a heroin overdose in the Parisian Rock-n-Roll Circus club, an ordinary suicide, a staged suicide by the FBI, which is actively fighting members of the hippie movement, and so on. No one knows the truth except Morrison's friend Pamela. But - bad luck - the girl died three years later from an overdose, without telling anyone anything.
No. 5. Jimi Hendrix
The greatest guitarist partly refutes the canons of rocker death: he is one of the few who actually died in bed. In bed with a lady, choking on vomit after taking 9 sleeping pills. In an apartment filled with drugs - it was because of them that Jimmy’s girlfriend was afraid to call an ambulance, leaving the musician to die.
No. 4. Sid Vicious
The bassist of the famous punk band Sex Pistols, once again released from prison, took some heroin. Yes, the thing is that the drug was not 5 percent, as usual, but practically undiluted (80 percent). So, with a smile of peace, another rock and roller left.
No. 3. John Lennon
Vocalist The Beatles. One of the few musicians who did not think about suicide. In any case, four out of five bullets from Mark Chapman prevented the world from knowing whether the greatest Beatle had such thoughts.
No. 2. Janis Joplin
The famous singer died from an overdose of heroin mixed with alcohol. It’s interesting that just before this, Janice was working on an audio congratulation for John Lennon’s birthday: the cassette with the recording was found near her after his death. I congratulated you, I congratulated you!
