Tom Petty Reportedly Dead at 66

[Chance]

From CNN:

The medical examiner's news release said the autopsy found these drugs in Petty's system: fentanyl, oxycodone, acetyl fentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl, which are opioids; temazepam and alprazolam, which are sedatives; and citalopram, an antidepressant.

Are musicians, nay high energy performers in general, perhaps turning to chemical support, both "legal" and "illegal", to help them "play through the pain", with the statistical result that some overdo it?

Like athletes?



I'd say the answer is definitively, yes.
