Fact #42357

When:

Short story:

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Lowell George, formerly of Little Feat, dies aged 34 in the Twin Bridges Marriott Hotel, Arlington, Virgina, USA, from a heart attack brought on by drugs and obesity.

Full article:

Fred Tackett (guitarist) : We were driving down the New Jersey Turnpike in this bus and we stopped at this pizza joint off the highway. Everybody in the band shared a cheese pizza but Lowell bought a large pizza with everything on it, carried it to the back of the bus, and he ate the entire pizza by himself. He died two or three days later. So, when people ask me, 'What really killed Lowell?' I say, 'It was a pizza on the New Jersey Turnpike'.
