Musicians

Musicians as a profession have one of the highest deathrates of any profession out there. But due to the lack of statistic tracking, they never appear on any infographics like the following one for the year of 2009.

In the chart above, its written as Fishing,Logging,Pilots& Flight Engineers have the highest chance of dying on the job.

But looking at history, look back at all the stars from the 50's to the 80's. How many of them are still around today? Not many at all. Just a couple of notable names,that I can remember ,who died from activities linked to their professions.

James Dean - Died from car crash(icon from the 1950's)
Johnny Cash - Attacked by ostrich,(didn't die, just thought it was funny he got attacked by one)
Jimi Hendrix - Died from overdose
Elvis Presley - Died from overdose

In the middle of searching for more names and causes of deaths, I stumbled across this website.
