TOWNSHEND: 'ENTWISTLE LIVED TOO HIGH'
Late THE WHO rocker JOHN ENTWISTLE died because he continued living "high" into middle age, according to his surviving bandmate PETE TOWNSHEND. Townshend claims he and frontman ROGER DALTREY found it impossible to curb Entwistle's appetite for partying and drugs, because the bassist insisted he would prefer to die than give up his rock 'n' roll lifestyle. Townshend says, "What happened with John was that he got used to living high, and his money supply was cut off. "In the end, when Roger came to me and said, 'Listen, we've got to help John, let's try to train him to live less high,' we couldn't do that. "And as we trained him to live less high, he died. He didn't want to live less high. he preferred to be dead, in a sense." Entwistle died in June 2002 from a heart attack after taking cocaine in Las Vegas, Nevada.
