22, Landsdown Crescent:
it was on 18 September, 1970, at the age of 27, as famous American musician Jimi Hendrix died here. Reportedly, one of the 60s' most influential guitarists in the history of Rock music.
For some days prior to his death, Hendrix already had been in poor health. He is said to have aspirated on his own vomit and died of asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturates.
On 1 October, 1970, he was interred at Greenwood Cemetery in Renton, Washington.
