The Celebrity

Though his fans in his lifetime in numbers did grow I cannot shed a tear for one i did not know And though he was one who had fans Worldwide From the reaper of lives nowhere for him to hide Of a drug overdose it is said he did die The fact is he was born a mortal and fact never lie A rock star in his mid fifties his fans are in tears Though his songs and music will live on for decades of years In his lifetime he challenged life's reaper and the reaper won And his parents who are living do grieve for their son His songs and his music for years may live on But the greatest gift that he had from him has gone I am talking of course about his gift of life The father of ten children who never had a wife.
