832.0. "Steve Marriott" by TKTVFS::FUJII () Mon Apr 22 1991 13:13


      I heard Steve Marriott, who was ex-gutarist and vocalist of the Small
      Faces and Humble Pie, was dead on a housefire.  Does anyone know the
      details of accident ?  Place, Date or anything about the matter are
      required.  Your kind reply would be very helpful for me.

    That sounds like a classic rock-star sordid end... Urgh.

    They found his body in a broom cupboard. Apparently there were two
    doors in the bedroom, and he picked the wrong one. Must have been in a
    bit of a state to do that.

    Point of contention, but just a small one!
    
    I was under the impression the Small Faces acquired their name not from
    the members small stature but rether a comment made by Chrissie
    Shrimpton "Cor, haven't you all got small Heads" !!!!!!!!

       To set the record straight, the autopsy revealed presence of 
       drugs (not sure which ones) in Marriott's body and the fire was 
       caused by a cigarette.  Sad story.  Real sad.
