Jim Morrison
The late Jim Morrison was known for his unpredictable and often wild stage performances, which helped cement his status as a rockstar in the 60s and 70s. However, what many people don’t know about Morrison is that he was also incredibly poetic. This side of him is evident in his lyrics, which show a deep understanding of the human condition. Clearly, Morrison had a lot to share with the world, making his untimely passing at 27 even more tragic.
Morrison died in Paris from heart failure (or so it’s officially said – many believe it was substance abuse). This picture, of Morrison and his girlfriend Pamela Courson in France, was taken on June 28th, 1971 – four days before he passed.
