9 Musicians Who Died While Performing

As lead guitarist for Glasgow-based Stone the Crows (who sounded like Humble Pie and Grand Funk Railroad had a riff-loving baby), Les Harvey was on his way to becoming the next Jimmy Page. It certainly didn't hurt that Stone the Crows shared a manager with Led Zeppelin. Unfortunately, Harvey now has more in common with Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain; and not the good kind of similarity.

The guitarist became one of the more obscure members of the 27 Club (musicians who died at age 27) when, due to a roadie's lack of thoroughness, he was electrocuted during soundcheck. His microphone was not properly grounded and gave him such a shock that he was killed instantly.

Seven years prior, Harvey survived a van crash that killed his mates from his former band, Blues Council. But Death came knocking again, and this time He wasn't leaving without Harvey.
