Here’s A Bunch Of Musicians Who Have (Or Have Tried To) Murdered People

I bet many of these guys thought they would get away with murder, but some of them didn't quite. Others hired help. Either way, just because you're famous doesn't mean you're above the law.

First up, let’s do the muso’s who have tried to have people murdered.

We’ll start with Phil Rudd from AC/DC, because he is in the news NOW for trying to have two men killed. Then there is Sid Vicious from The Sex Pistols. He was the main suspect for the murder of his girlfriend and manager. I don’t know who this guy is, but congrats to Tim Lambesis from As I Lay Dying for trying to have a policeman kill his wife.

The rest of the list is made up of musicians who actually successfully killed people.

Charles Manson “brutally murdered actress Sharon Tate and her unborn child”. Jim Gordon, from Derek and the Dominos, was schizophrenic and killed his mum with a hammer and a knife. Grammy award winner Slick Rick shot and killed his cousin. Varg Vikernes burned down churches and ended up killing the drummer from his band, Mayhem. He went to prison for 15 years. Leadbelly, known as “an early influencer of Rock and Roll”, murdered a family member.

They all should just sing about their problems, rather than acting out on them…
