What a shock.

Anything he wasn't using?

For a seasoned California user, you'd think that he'd be a lot more controlled and smarter than that.
That really sucks.

He had a lot of health problems, broken hip, knee issues....

I can't spell it, so I'll do it Mr. Vette Style...He also had Enfazima from smoking cigarettes and marywanna.

I can sympathize to a degree, but he should have known better...

Tom’s autopsy report shows the singer was on several pain meds, including Fentanyl patches, oxycodone, temazepam, alprazolam, citalopram, acetylfentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl. The reason doctors prescribed the meds was because of a number of medical problems, including emphysema, knee problems and a fractured hip.


Really??
He apparently had a really bad drug problem.
Put him in the class with Michael Jackson.

I bet he had prescriptions for all of them. From different doctors all over the country where he toured.

All "legal" drugs. Just like Elvis.

He insisted on continuing his tour even WITH the fractured hip, which apparently got worse because he didn't lay low. More pain, more pills most likely. Not exactly wise.

He definitely should have given things a rest for a minute. I will give him credit for one thing, he had serious devotion to his fans, but that devotion helped lead him to his demise. I was shocked when I found out he had died. It sucks losing someone that has provided as much great music as he did since my childhood. Like someone else said, we're all human...

Tamazepam, alprazolam and citalopram aren't pain meds. He may have been fighting some other demons as well.
