Drug abuse in the music industry

From teen pop stars to legendary Rock stars, the music industry has had its fair share of death's related to drug consumption. last year we lost a Grammy award winner, jazz music sensation "Amy Winehouse" and this year to our surprise Whitney Houston died on the eve of the Grammy awards. The media's perception of glamourising alcohol and sometimes drug usage (in reality tv show's) is disappointing http://realitytvmagazine.sheknows.com/2011/12/29/. Statistics from http://www.av1611.org/rockdead.html state that this is a serious matter and should be taken seriously by industry officials and music channels.
