The sad story of Sly Stone..
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_984849.html
I remember Sly And The Family Stone quite well as a kid in the 70's, and they were HUGE, playing festivals left and right, on TV all the time, and of course all the hits-
? "Dance to the Music"
? "Everyday People"
? "Stand!"
? "Hot Fun in the Summertimeha"
? "Thank You (Falettinmhae Be Mice Elf Agin)"
? "I Want to Take You Higher"
? "Family Affair"
? "If You Want Me to Stay"
? "Sing A Simple Song"

And now Sly Stone lives in a van down by the river...holy shit.

"He plans on parking his van outside the rehab and setting up a studio inside the van, so he can get clean and create music at the same time. He may still drink beer, though."

The denial is dominate.

The dude from "Days of the New" was one of the first people on "Intervention" I believe. Pretty sad.

This is quite common. Some of the 80s hair bands are back living with their parents.

I put money in quite a few of these guys hands, knowing full well what they were going to be doing with it.

Bought a few guitars from John Frusciante and he told me that the money was going to go right into his arm.

It's understandable with those retards, but Sly And The Family Stone were "a band which played a critical role in the development of soul, funk and psychedelia in the 1960s and 1970s."

Huge chart topping hits and massive popularity for more than 10 years, hard to believe the guy could end up that badly...

My understanding is he sold his publishing rights to his music to Michael Jackson back in the 80s for about 1 million dollars

Sad. Another genius talent destroyed. Unfortunately he is probably going to be joining Gil Scott Herron up yonder in crack heaven soon...

Damn shame.
