FUTURE

Legendary Rocker Chuck Swanson dies in 2045. His body is found in the canal.

After years of drung abuse and wild parties Swanson was said to have been depressed and on the verge of suicide as he is swamped with bad press over an apparent sex offence. The tabloids have not left him alone for months and as his new single was about to be released, entitled "Fuck you, I didn't do it" his bloated body is found in the canal water.

An investigation is under way as how the singer died but it is widely felt this was a desperate call for help, gone wrong.
