Rock Stars Involved in Murder Cases
The November 2014 arrest of AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd for allegedly threatening to kill two men was simply another in the surprisingly long history of rock stars who have been involved in murder cases.
In the following list, you'll find 13 examples of rock stars who were convicted or accused of killing another human being – from a band comprised largely of convicted and imprisoned murders to an absolutely tragic accident involving Who legend Keith Moon, and the disturbing case of noted session drummer Jim Gordon.
We also expanded the reach of the list below by discussing the effect the music of the Beatles supposedly had on convicted mass murderer Charles Manson, and the lesser-known story of the musician who says he killed another man on Manson's orders.
