Bonus Episode: Strange Celebrity Deaths, Great Comedians, and Hot Takes

This week, Jake is thinking about Richard Pryor. If Pryor had died after setting himself on fire, would that be the strangest celebrity death of all time? Jake takes a look at some strange celebrity deaths, including Tennessee Williams, William Holden, and more. If you know some strange celebrity death stories, let us know!

On Tuesday we're bringing you an episode on one of the most important musical figures of the 20th century - Louis Armstrong. But we're going beyond his musical and cultural impact to explore some of the other surprising stuff he was mixed up in - the mob, international intrigue, and a whole lot of marijuana. Jake wants to know: Which musician's behavior surprised you the most? Tell Jake at 617-906-6638, [email protected], or on socials @disgracelandpod.
