Jimmy Hendrix was Murdered
Legendary musician Jimmy Hendrix was murdered, claims former roadie, James “Tappy” Wright in a recently released book, Rock Roadie. He claims that Hendrix was murdered by his manager Michael Jeffrey.
Mr. Wright says Jeffrey told him that he had taken out a life insurance policy on the musician worth $2m with himself as the beneficiary. He drunkenly confessed to killing him by stuffing pills into his mouth and washing them down with several bottles of red wine because he feared Hendrix intended to dump him for a new manager, according to a report in the Mail on Sunday.
Describing the night of Jeffrey’s confession, Mr Wright wrote: “I can still hear that conversation, see the man I’d known for so much of my life, his face pale, hand clutching at his glass in sudden rage.”Wright claims Jeffrey told him: “I had to do it, Tappy. You understand, don’t you? I had to do it. You know damn well what I’m talking about. “I was in London the night of Jimi’s death and together with some old friends… we went round to Monika’s hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth… then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.
“I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I’d lose everything.”
John Bannister, the surgeon who dealt with Hendrix at hospital, had said in 1992. “I recall vividly the very large amounts of red wine that oozed from his stomach and his lungs and in my opinion there was no question that Jimi Hendrix had drowned, if not at home then on the way to the hospital.”
