He was a great composer. Very sad
I think if I was rich and famous I might consider a different mode of transport, helicopters and private jets seem to take lives of the rich and famous far more regularly than would be expected.
Accepting that they tend to use them far more than others, it just seems a quite likely way to die compared than if you used commercial airlines.
Absolutely no data to back it up, but just seems that way.
Yep, the Colin McRae's helicopter crash that killed himself, his son and two others is one example. The Founder of Dig in the Ribs died in a light aircraft accident, Chelsea Football Club Vice Chairman Matthew Harding met his end in a helicopter crash, Mike Smith and Sarah Greene had a lucky escape. That French reality show killed ten in Argentina. John F. Kennedy Jr, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
