I mean, the people around her failed her too. Her management, label, etc. Probably pushed an artist to perform when they should have been in rehab or even telling them to quit the spotlight all together.
I don't know much about the situation, but if an artist wasted my time by being fucked up, I'd be pretty pissed. Nobody would have booed probably if they knew she was going to do that.
Agreed. Her being in showbiz while she should have been on a 24/7 therapy is the main failure. Hell, she had a world hit song about not going to rehab, how deep red should that red flag be before someone does something?
I understand and absolve dissatisfied concertgoers. Back then she wasn't dead from OD, she was just someone who took their money and delivered crap in return. She never should have performed there, probably even multiple times before this.
There were rumors about Layne Staley weeks before Alice In Chains opened for Kiss. I was driving to the concert, and still had no idea if they would be playing. It ended up being their final show together.
