Karen Carpenter
Death of a Rock Star
10/29/20 • 35 min
WARNING: this episode contains references to eating disorders.
It’s all about what’s hidden away, with Karen. She sings songs that are soft and gooey and sweet like a mouthful of candyfloss, but she makes them sound like loneliness. There’s always darkness, like a moving shadow behind everything else. Hers is a story you’ll never forget.

New Series: Death of a Film Star
Death of a Rock Star
04/12/21 • 27 min
From the makers of Death of a Rock Star, this is Death of a Film Star. Episode 1: Heath Ledger.
If you'd like to hear more, search for 'Death of a Film Star' in your favourite podcast platform, or click here: https://podfollow.com/1562008537.
When you see the news, his face stays with you. Heath Ledger as the Joker. Smeared in white grease paint, a slash of red across the mouth, a shock of dark blue around the eyes. When you take on a part so completely, it’s hard to get out. Things merge. Actor and character meet and mix.
But Heath’s not that Joker. He’s another. Because he’s an actor who doesn’t play by Hollywood’s rules. He’s a man who doesn’t follow suit…

Keith Flint
Death of a Rock Star
10/08/20 • 34 min
WARNING: this episode includes references to suicide.
He was maybe the last pop star who could scare grannies and make kids cry. Keith Flint looked like Johnny Rotten mixed with Freddie Krueger. He snarled rather than sang. The tabloids wanted his records banned. But the real Keith was a very different man - and the story of this lost kid’s life and sad death are both endearing and deeply moving.

Elvis
Death of a Rock Star

He might be the most famous man who ever lived. He changed our world forever. But when you get that big, there’s always someone who wants to exploit you. You forget who you are and why you’re doing it. Until suddenly it’s too late.

Whitney Houston
Death of a Rock Star
09/30/20 • 37 min
WARNING: this episode includes references to domestic violence and drug abuse.
Everything about Whitney seemed perfect - the voice, the looks, the records sold and the films. But that’s not how she saw herself, and it’s not how her life began to break down. Everything you thought you knew about Whitney is about to be thrown up in the air.

Mama Cass
Death of a Rock Star
05/25/22 • 32 min
Cass? She’s the one the band can’t do without. Those 40 million records sold? The six top ten hits? It’s her voice that powers them. Her charisma that makes the Mamas & the Papas so lovable. When they all sing together, it sounds like the times squeezed and bottled with added vitamins. It’s sunshine and smiles and bright swirls of primary colours. But there’s always this sadness close by. A melancholy, lying there just under the surface. And that's Cass. She doesn't feel lovable. Doesn’t fit the mould. Doesn't look like 60s rock'n'roll. She’s the sunshine and darkness in one troubled woman. The openness, the paranoia. The dreams of a golden generation, living and dying under a perfect blue Californian sky...
