Shannon Hoon was almost completly finished rehab and he had a counselor come on his tour with Blind Melon to watch over his drug intake. Before he left he told his counselor that he would be fine, and that he didn't need him since he was pretty much sober at the time. The counselor then left. Hoon's preformance wasn't particularly good one night in Houston and then went on a full out heroin binge that night. Unfortunatly his bandmated failed to wake him the next morning, he died of a overdose.
What an obvious effect shannon hoon had on us as well as blind melon... its like people have forgotten about him and what he gave blind melon... when i watch a video like this it makes me happy to see someone else cares as much as i do about a musician i've never met we should start a blind melon tribute band
Great book dude - and you are 100% correct. Well thought out and spoken =)

Shannon overdosed on Cocaine. He was a wonderful man, and I love his music, but that is the truth.

Shannon had some demons, one time or another, we all do. We can't be here forever and am glad his words were painted.
