The R.I.P. Rockstars is a standard, poker size playing and fortune-telling deck of cards. Each of the 53 cards of the deck celebrates the life and legacy of 53 iconic rock figures who have passed away in tragic circumstances.
The 53 cards were attributed according to the date of birth of each featured artist.
On the one hand, we cherish their memory and keep their spirit alive, on the other, by donating some of the funds to charity, I hope we can help other artists in need.

The cards were attributed according to the date of birth of each featured artist. The average age of these artists, sadly, does not pass 40. While Willie Dixon died of heart failure at age 76, both, Billy Murcia and Sid Vicious died of an overdose at the age 21. Alarmingly, the most frequent cause of death is due to overdose, alcohol poisoning, suicide or different disease, but two of these artists were victims of murderers. Playing rock’n’roll is not only milk and honey! Keith Relf of Yardbirds died in the basement of his home in 1976 at age 33 from electrocution while playing an electric guitar.
Five of the legendary members of “Club 27” are here: Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Keith Moon, Ron McKernan and Kurt Cobain. The list of the featured artists includes a large variety of musicians. Just to mention a few: Gary Moore, Michael Starr (Alice In Chains), Hillel Slovak (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Paul Gardiner (Tubeway Army), Wendy O. Williams (Plasmatics), Prince, Ian Curtis (Joy Division), Bon Scott (AC/DC), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), Layne Staley (Alice In Chains), Keith Moon (The Who), Keith Flint (The Prodigy), John Lennon, Tom Petty, Scott Weiland, Wayne Static, Frank Zappa, Lemmy, Janis Joplin, Cliff Burton (Metallica), Chester Bennington (Linkin Park), Roy Orbison, John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Dimebag Darrell (Pantera), Freddie Mercury, Kevin DuBrow (Quiet Riot), Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, and Jeff Hanneman (Slayer).
