Though the official causes of death for these famous people vary between the different musicians&mdash;from suicide to overdoses on sleeping pills to, yes, choking to death on vomit&mdash;drug and alcohol abuse is often cited as a primary cause behind many of these deaths. Everyone on this list will never turn 28 &ndash; they will be forever 27.&nbsp;
