Legendary rock and roll drummer Keith Moon of 'The Who' didn't seem destined to be on this planet for a long time. He drank and used drugs heavily, and was well known for his love of practical jokes and a party lifestyle. Moon's neighbor Steve McQueen once built a huge fence to keep Moon out of his back garden. Moon built a ramp, drove over the fence on his quad-bike and landed in McQueen's swimming pool. Simply put, Moon was a hell-raiser.
This picture was taken on September 6th, 1978 at a party to celebrate the premiere of the 'Buddy Holly Story' movie. Moon was dead the next day at 32, having overdosed on Heminevrin. Ironically, the drug had been prescribed to him as a solution to his alcohol addiction, but didn't seem to be working. There was also alcohol and cocaine in his system at the time of his death.
