7 Musicians Who Predicted Their Own Death In Lyrics

2. Michael Hutchence (INXS)

Lyrics That Predicted His Death:

One day he wakes up to a different drum Rhythm coming from so far awayHe had no time to tell anyone His hips were moving to a perfect sway - She Is Rising We've all seen both sides of the same face, called them friendOh baby, grab a noose 'cause we're looking for a different end - Bang the Drum

How He Died: The death of Michael Hutchence is pretty much the stuff of legend. He was found in a hotel room with a snakeskin belt wrapped around his neck and a system full of narcotics. Consensus on how he died still drifts back and forth, with some believing it was due to accidental autoerotic asphyxiation, while others say it was a planned suicide.

In a way, Hutchence wrote two different sets of lyrics about his eventual death, each one corroborating a different story.
