Jimi Hendrix was one of the best musicians of all time and remains today. He has influenced a lot of musicians, known and unknown, such as Slash and Lenny Kravitz with its unique way of making music and his irreverent ways to play guitar.
Unfortunately, he died early, but not from drug-related complications as many people think, he died after taking pills for sleeping and when passed bad, was taken to the hospital and nurses laid him on the stretcher facing upward, choking and dying by his own vomit.
