An American singer-songwriter and musician. The singer battled with depression, alcohol addiction and drug use for many years, and the topics would often appear in his lyrics. In his song "Miss Misery" he writes, "I'll fake it through the day with some help from johnny walker red send the poison rain down the drain to put bad thoughts in my head" and more alcohol references through out his lyrics. Smith died in 2003, aged 34, from two apparently self-inflicted stab wounds to the chest.
