However, a select few bizarrely took their final bows. But what makes these deaths stranger than fiction? Why did fate take such unexpected turns for these rock icons? Stay with us as we list the Rock Stars Who Died In Absolutely Bizarre Ways.

Chicago guitarist/vocalist Terry Kath is another unusual death. He liked to collect and play with guns near the end of his life. He was holding an unloaded revolver to his head and pulling the trigger. Someone warned him not to keep doing it and he put a different pistol to his head and said "What do think I'm gonna do, blow my brains out?". He didn't know there was a round in the chamber and he shot himself.

In the late 1980's I experienced an major electrical shock by guitar and ungrounded PA microphone while playing in a rock band onstage at a bar, I could feel the 120 Volt 60 Hz AC current ripping through my body. It was awful, the worst electrical shock of my life.

I can't say Sid Vicous' death was particularly unusual.

So there was a Tommy Bolin, a guitarist and a Marc Bolan, a singer guitarist.

Michael Hutchence was a suicide. He had recently sustained a head injury which deprived him of his sense of smell, which means also sense of taste. Suicide is a common reaction to this injury, the degradation of quality of life and resultant anhedonia is well documented. Hutchence was a very sensual person, he could jot cope.
