This day in music history.

April 7, 1988, While on tour in Europe, Alice Cooper accidentally hung himself. He was rehearsing his signature hanging routine for that nights show when a safety rope snapped. He hung from his neck for several seconds before a roadie saved him.
I Love The Dead by Alice Cooper
I love the dead before they're cold
They're bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never knew your rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, darling
We love the dead
We love the dead,
yeah
