Revealing the reason why Rock music died young

Rock stars often die young, especially for solo performers, according to a new British study.

British scientists studied the lives of 1,489 rock stars in Europe and North America over the past 50 years, from Elvis Presley - the famous 1950s fluttering member of the Arctic Monkeys band. The head has been a name since 2006. The survival rate of these rock stars is comparable to the overall rate of the entire population.
