Unfortunately for the group, Shannon Hoon, lead singer for Blind Melon, is now dead. He died of an accidental overdose of cocaine and alcohol on October 21, 1995. He was known to have a taste for hard drugs and had been to rehab earlier in the year.
Hoon was born in Lafayette, Indiana and raised in nearby Dayton, Indiana with his half-sister, Anna, and half-brother, Tim.
