"I'll leave when you don't have time to get bored": the stars who predicted their death

Last year on the night of February 3 in 35-year-old Kirill Tolmatsky, who performed under the pseudonym Decl, died in Izhevsk. As it turned out, a few years ago, Decl admitted in an interview that he was going to fake his death at the age of 35, and now these words sound like a terrible prophecy. We remember celebrities who predicted their own demise.

In 1965, Hendrix wrote the song Ballad of Jimi ("The Ballad of Jimi"), which stated that he had 5 years left to live. And so it happened: the musician choked on vomiting after an overdose of sleeping pills, which mixed with previously taken amphetamine. Jimi's friend Monica Charlotte Duneman was afraid to call an ambulance to Hendrix because of the drugs everywhere in the hotel room. The girl called the doctors only when Hendrix lost consciousness.

On October 6, 1991, Igor Talkov was shot dead at the Yubileyny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg right at the entrance to his dressing room. The shot thundered during a scuffle between the guards, but neither the weapon from which the musician was shot nor the killer was ever found.

According to legend, the musician had a premonition of his murder. Recall that on December 8, 1980, the founder of The Beatles was shot dead in the courtyard of his house in New York fan Mark Chapman. During interrogations, Chapman claimed that he found the encrypted order to kill Lennon on the pages of Jerome Salinger's novella "The Catcher in the Rye."

In the song Borrowed Time ("Borrowed Time", 1984), Lennon sings: "Life in borrowed time without a thought for tomorrow." Frida Kelly, a former Beatles spokeswoman, said that Lennon could not imagine himself after 40 years — at this age he died.

One day, drinking with colleagues at The Doors and discussing the death of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, Morrison said: "Maybe you're drinking with number three." He was referring to the infamous "Club 27" — a list of musicians who died at this age. Morrison's words turned out to be prophetic: he died on July 3, 1971 at the age of 27.According to the official version, the cause of death was cardiac arrest, however, since no autopsy was conducted, fans are still wondering what exactly killed their idol. Morrison's girlfriend Pamela Courson was with the musician at the time of his death, but she did not say a word about the incident, and three years later she died herself — from an overdose.

An outstanding American basketball player at the age of 25 told in an interview about his plans for the future: "I don't want to spend 10 seasons in the NBA and then die at 40 from cardiac arrest." The words turned out to be prophetic in the literal sense: Pete did not want to, but he died exactly at the age of 40 and precisely from a heart attack. It turned out that he had a rare congenital heart defect — the left coronary artery was missing.

The bass guitarist of the rock band Weezer predicted his own death frighteningly accurately. In addition, he posted a terrible prophecy on his Twitter: "I dreamed that I would die of a heart attack on the weekend. It is necessary to make a will," Welsh wrote on September 26, 2011. A little later, the musician added: "Correction — through the weekend."

Exactly 2 weeks later, on October 8, his body was found in a Chicago hotel. Death, presumably, occurred from cardiac arrest caused by a drug overdose.

In 1994, in an interview, the rapper, answering the question of how he sees his life in 15 years, replied: "At best, I will lie in the cemetery. At worst, I will be turned into dust, which my best friends will smoke out."In September 1996, unknown people shot the singer in a car in Las Vegas. The artist's body was cremated, and, according to the Outlawz band members, some of the ashes were mixed with marijuana and smoked. However, Shakur's friends deny this fact. The police have not been able to solve the murder of Tupac.

When Kurt was 14 years old, he once told a classmate that he would become a famous rock musician, get rich, get incredibly popular, and then commit suicide. At the age of 27, the leader of the Nirvana group committed suicide. On April 5, 1994, Cobain shot himself in the mouth with a shotgun. At the time of his death, the musician was under the influence of heroin. Cobain's body lay in an empty house for three days.

At the funeral of Vladimir Vysotsky, Oleg Dahl suddenly publicly declared that he would be next, and subsequently spoke more than once about his imminent death. A few days before his death, the actor told a friend, director Yevgeny Tatarsky: "You know, I dreamed about Volodya Vysotsky today, he calls me to him."

A few days later, Oleg Dahl died of a heart attack provoked by the use of alcohol, which was contraindicated to the "sewn up" artist.

The leader of the rock band "The King and the Fool" died in July 2013, less than a month before his fortieth birthday. The musician's body was found in his country house: Mikhail had been struggling with drug addiction for a long time and broke down. Death occurred from cardiac arrest on the background of alcohol and morphine use.

Subsequently, friends of the musician recalled that he often said that he would not live to be 40 years old. And in one of the interviews he said the following: "I'll leave the moment you don't have time to get bored. And you will remember me with a kind word, for the fact that I did not get bored and did not become a m **a, earning money for you."

In 2015, in an interview, Kirill Tolmatsky said: "The world is multifaceted. So many interesting things are happening that life is not enough for everything. So I'm going to live at least 450 years. Once I would like to fake my death at the age of 35 and go to live on an island. There are a few years left — we need to think about this topic." On the night of February 3, 2019, the rapper died. He was 35 years old.
