Darby Crash was the lead singer of LA's old punk band The Germs. A lot of people may think this band is crap but for its time I think it was a great raw sound.
Darby was a very troubled person and no one really ever acknowledged how shity things were.Darby Crash was always saying he was gonna die young. He just wanted to be known and gone.He talked about suicide a lot and no one ever took him seriously.
On December 7th after playing a show Darby asked everyone and all his close friends to meet at Okie Dog in Hollwood a local hotdog joint. When no one showed he left and followed thru with a suicide pack he had with another friend he died and she didn't. He intentionally didn't give her enough heroin. The following day John Lennon was killed and he got no media time.
I tried to keep it brief but his story is really great, check out the book Lexicon Devil if you ever have time.
