In no particular order and a very condensed list, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Hank Williams, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, Jim Morrison, Rory Gallager, Janis Joplin, all extremely creative talented people, all eextermely dead due to Drug use, both legal and illegal. This is not news, but Drugs kill.

Thank gooodness that many others saw the learned from these people and are still alive and well.
