When:

Short story:

James Honeyman-Scott of The Pretenders dies from an overdose of a cocktail of heroin and cocaine.

Full article:

Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders) : You know, I don't believe that Jimmy meant to die that way. It was a mistake. The one thing he cared about was the sound we put together so the least I could do is ensure the sound lived on. And I want it to live on. The only thing that's real in this business these days is making records and doing shows. The rest of it is rubbish. It's become so corporate and uniform. In the US there used to be many scenes now there seems to be just one scene.
