Apparently if you’re a musician, you are two times more likely to die earlier than you should.
The average age to become a famous musician is 25 years old. There is a 2.3% chance that you will die within 5 years after that. That is 0.4% more than if you’re in the army in Afghanistan for those 5 years (they have a 1.9% chance). Death for a musician in those first 5 years of stardom is also SEVEN times more likely in comparison to the every day person (their likelihood is 0.3%).
As Freddie said, “who wants to live forever” anyway?

I was surprised when I heard this was written for GaGas Grandpa. I relate to this on a completely different level. To me it’s about where I am now, and where I want to be; on stage, with your company. Like this:

I might need a few more fans before I can reenact this though; help a sister out, (please) share the video (if you like it).
