Celebrities Who Predicted Their Own Deaths

Jimi Hendrix  

Some people would consider Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitar player of all time. Jimi’s career and music sadly was not recognized for how great it is until after he died. In some eerie way, he knew that’s how things would play out for him. 

Two years before his death, Jimi recorded a song, titled “The Ballad of Jimi. In the song he talks of a man named “Jimi” and the lyrics foresee his death and legacy saying. “Many things he would try, for he knew soon he’d die. Now Jimi’s gone, he’s not alone, his memory still lives on and five years, this he said. He’s not gone, he’s just dead.”
