ITP V.016 EDITORIAL: A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM "THE GRIM REAPER"

The general public has spoken as your concerns and questions have been considered and answered.
Every music genre, entertainment and culture has been effected. Mortality knows no color, race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or musical genre.
When did the epidemic of musicians deaths start?



In the fall of 2015, a wave of unconscionable tragedy hit the music scene starting with the BUCHAREST ROMANIA nightclub fire and the horrid terrorist attack at the BATACLAN in PARIS FRANCE.
Death by misadventure, negligence and mass murder. 

Then, in DECEMBER of 2015, individual musicians started dropping like flys. SCOTT WEILAND (formally of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS) fell off the wagon (while on tour) in the worst way and died of a drug overdose.
LEMMY KILMISTER, bassist/vocalist of legendary metal warriors MOTORHEAD died (of cancer) just a few days after his 70th birthday after his courageous fall 2015 touring cycle.

From then on, ITP V.015/V.016 ONLY ONE PER COFFIN has been the most popular metal news feature (and most hits) on this blog.The music and entertainment scene is littered with corpses as we're not even half way through 2016.
DAVID BOWIE, PAUL KANTNER and SIGNE ANDERSON (JEFFERSON AIRPLANE), WAYLON JENNINGS, PRINCE and more are now in VALHALLA in the trusty hands of the GRIM REAPER. .

If there is a silver lining, the notorious "27" club may be a thing of the past as musicians are dying older and living longer.
The "Baby Boomers" are now elderly, and it may be time. 
The bad news, is the overwhelming amount of U.S. musicians (Yes, mostly AMERICAN musicians) expiring is a symptom of a larger problem regarding something the self employed lack, health care for musicians.

The older musicians (over 60) are primarily dying from various forms of cancer, we need to find a cure and the permanent consequences of (bad) lifestyle choices, sometimes in new found sobriety.
The under 60 musicians??? PRINCE'S cause of death was what?

While people really genuinely die of heart attacks, heart attacks are not always considered a primary cause of death via a county medical examiner.
..and the cause of death of someone we don't know is none of our business.

ITP is guessing 50 percent CANCER 50 (or 60 PERCENT CANCER 40 PERCENT other causes)  and 50 percent other causes including death by misadventure, suicides, mass murder and small percentage of unconfirmed or unreported drug overdoses.

My message to the GRIM REAPER is private, a I explained I want PRINCE, LEMMY, DAVID BOWIE all the great fans whom died in club tragedy's last FALL BACK!
 The GRIM REAPER stated there is no turning the clock back now as there are no returns nor exchanges.
Stupid question I know.
The rest of my query to the GRIM REAPER is private.

The DSMB scene states anti-human anti life.

However, these deaths are not fair, the GRIM REAPER has got it all wrong.
It's been a rough seven months of heart breaking tragedy for music and entertainment. 
Or is the GRIM REAPER a deceased musician?


Thanks to all musicians and entertainers whom have dearly departed for their contributions to music and art, they have truly enhanced our lives.


In response to the overwhelming back lash regarding deaths and tragedy in the music, metal and entertainment scene, the GRIM REAPER has sent this PSA:
