Joe Hill was a folk singer and trade union activist with the Industrial Worker of The World (known as the 'Wobblies'). The powers that be in the USA didn't take kindly to his politics or his union activity, so he was framed for capital murder and executed by firing squad at the Utah State Penitentiary (the same prison as a certain Gary Gilmore) in 1915.
IIRC, he has since been given a posthumous pardon by the current State Governor of Utah.

Not all "Rock deaths" but;
Johnny Ace- Died playing russian roulette on Christmas day 1954 (although Big Mama Thornton claimed it was an accident)
Kid Thomas- Shot dead by the father of the 10 year old boy that he accidentally ran over and killed a few years previously. Thomas was cleared of any wrong doing but was shot dead after he left court following another driving misdemeanor a few years later.
Robert Johnson- Famously poisoned by jealous juke joint owner who thought he was making advances on his wife, Johnson was given several bottles of opened whiskey laced with poison (which he foolishly drank despite Alec Rice Miller's warnings)
John Lee Sonny Boy Williamson - Died of injuries sustained from an ice-pick when he was mugged in Chicago in the late 40's.
Little Walter Jacobs- Was hit over the head with a hammer during a street crap game, Jacobs went to bed complaining of a headache and died in his sleep.

Often misquoted, it was in fact "now kiss me hard on".
The first, and most rock and roll, of all rock and roll deaths.

Well Hendrix was a bit shit, let's face it - they say only the good die young - the only wastes of talent I can think of at the mo are, no, is, Janis Joplin.

Hendrix was a guitar god and a very nice person as well.
I can say this with authority because I know someone personally who spent a whole evening in the company of the great man.
Yes, my claim to (someone else's) fame is that I'm mates with someone who knew Jimi Hendrix.

Well I know someone whose mates dad was Chas Chandler who 'made' Jimi Hendrix
*Begins pointless and immature celebrity acquaintance pissing contest*
Did I mention that I also know Hawkwind's original drummer, have met pocket-sized TV vet Christopher Timothy and literally bumped into no less a personage than the mighty 'Equaliser' himself, Mr Edward Woodward?
The 'Equaliser' for the win!

He may very well have been a nice person, but that doesn't stop his music being mere dull showboating. Only sad cunts continue to listen to him after their history lesson at the age of 18 - people usually move on to other stuff afterwards.

Oh yeah, I remember that...! This bloke who I had a super crush on for ages was obessed with Dimebag and came into the pub the day he died and burst into tears!
In a biography of him I was browsing recently there's a photo of the car after it was recovered - or perhaps separated is a better word - from the tree. I can't find it online, but maybe that's for the best since it's not a pretty sight. If you're going to hit a tree at speed, a Mini is not the safest car to do it in...

It was a drugs overdose. But what was more interesting was what happened to the body afterwards.
