9. David Gahan
If you are reading this and have no idea who Depeche Mode is, you fail. They’re one of the greatest 80s bands of all time (Just Can’t Get Enough). Personal Jesus might ring a bell, too. Anyhow, the lead singer of this band did the classic speedball overdose. That is when you do cocaine and heroin at the same time. Let’s explain why this is a terrible idea.
Coke is a stimulant that will have you jumping through the roof. Heroin is a depressant that will have you sleeping standing up. Can you imagine what happens to the heart when two opposites are introduced into it? Yeah, it usually has no idea what to do and just stops. That is what happened toDavid Gahan.
But he came to and said “never again” and the rumor is he hasn’t touched the stuff since.
