From France's famous Gothic Pere Lachaise Cemetery (final resting place of Chopin and Jim Morrison) to Hollywood's Forest Lawn (home of Andy Gibb and Liberace), Stanton has travelled over a million miles, through 6 countries, 44 states, and 91 airports, to give his readers detailed directions to, and descriptions of, the grave sites. There are more than 250 black-and-white photos showcasing the entertainers and their memorials. THE TOMBSTONE TOURIST includes artists' biographies (including cause of death), locations of their birth places, childhood homes, "places of exit," relevant museums, archives and shrines, and tips for recording memorabilia collections. The book stemmed from Stanton's two obsessions - travel and music. The guide is divided into three categories, each arranged alphabetically for easy reference - The Legends, The Best of the Rest and Gone But Not Forgotten (those without a final resting place). So whether you're idol is Jimi Hendrix, Hank Williams, or Janis Joplin, you can get within six feet of them all.… (mehr)

Interesting and full of little known facts about the lives of the musicians as well as their deaths and burials. Now I want to read a biography of Jelly Roll Morton, visit a couple of graves in Queens and ponder on what really happened to the ashes of Sid Vicious. ( )

This book is a series of short bios on musicians who have died, giving updates on their deaths and burials. I'm not sure why some artists were in the main section and others in the following shorter section but it might be personal preference of the artist. It was informative but not quite as interesting as I was hoping it would be. ( )

I'm a dedicated taphologist ( a student of cemeteries, in other words), and I love any books that detail the burial places of famous or infamous people. This is a superb example, not only does it give details on the (usually tragic) deaths and last resting places of 20th century musicians from all genres, includng some very obscure musos, but also info on their memorabilia that can still be seen and details of their most prized and rarest recordings. This is the sort of book only a dedicated and knowledgeable music-lover could produce, its clearly a labor of love and a superb read for fans and dedicated taphologists alike. ( )
