Gene Vincent

Kurz-Bio:

Die Rocknroll-Legende Gene Vincent wurde am 11. Februar 1935 in Norfolk, Virginia, als Eugene Vincent Craddock geboren und verstarb am 12. Oktober 1971, erst 36-jährig, während eines Spitalaufenthaltes in Newhall, Kalifornien. Nach Beendigung einer militärischen Karriere aufgrund eines schweren Motoradunfalls im Juli 1955 widmete er sich ab nun intensiv der Musik, hatte aber zeitlebens Probleme mit seinem linken Fuß, der bei dem Motoradunfall schwer in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde. Trotz dieses Handikaps trat er jedoch mit seiner Band The Blue Caps auf und entwickelte einen neuen Musikstil, was letztendlich zu einem Vertrag mit der Plattenfirma CAPITOL führte, wo er einige Erfolge verbuchen konnte. Nachdem seine Popularität in der Heimat nachließ ging er 1960 nach England, wo er sehr viele Fans hatte. Bei der Heimfahrt nach einem Auftritt mit seinem Freund Eddie Cochran im April 1960, wurde ihr Taxi in einem schweren Unfall verwickelt, wobei sein Freund Eddie Cochran verstarb, er selbst wurde schwer verletzt. Bei einem Besuch seiner Eltern im Oktober 1971 erlitt er als Folge von jahrelangen Schmerzmittel-Missbrauch und Alkohol, bedingt durch die Schmerzen aufgrund seiner schweren Verletzungen, einen Kollaps, der einen Spialsaufenthalt erforderte, während dem er, erst 36-jährig, verstarb.
