I can remember around 1960, my future father-in-law said that Elvis wouldn't last and he was right. But not in the way he meant.

Marianne 'Needle Queen' Faithfull - Heroin Addiction, Anorexia, Suicide Attempts, Homelessness.

Brian Wilson - Mental Illness, Mind Drugs.

Alice Cooper - Alcoholic.

Bowie, Dylan, Clapton, Steven Tyler - Drugs. Lots of Drugs.

It's also extremely surprising all original members of The Motley Crue have made it to 50.
