19. Peter Steele
The massively tall, vampire-like frontmen of the popular rock band Type O Negative had an ingenious and creative mind, but a mind that was heavily crippled by mental issues at the same time. Although some might think this explains his first record signing (which he did with a mixture of his blood and semen), that was just his humor.
Deep down inside, Peter was struggling with heavy depression, anxiety, stage fright, and a strong fear of death. He also attempted to commit suicide when he was still relatively young. Although details remain vague, there are some interviews which indicate that he tried to end his life because of a girl he had broken up with.
No matter who or what you are, throwing your own life away because of a relationship partner isn’t a sign of utmost mental stability. He died of a heart attack at the age of 48, and some say that his heavy usage of drugs and alcohol were the only things keeping him sane during his final years.
