Steve Took

Steve Took
Steve Took was Marc Bolan’s right hand man providing percussion for “T. Rex” who enjoyed brief superstardom in the early 70’s. Steve Took had just gotten a healthy royalty check, which meant he could by drugs. He took a large amount of mushrooms and morphine, then passed out in bed. He woke up later and started munching on a bowl of cherries, then passed out again with his mouth full. Then he choked to death on October 27th of 1980 at the age of 31.
