They may not get as rich as pop stars -but they suffer lots of substance abuse (though many themselves likely think they are enjoying the substance abuse).


Meh, the vast majority of classical or jazz musicians don't have any time to take drugs -- because they have day jobs.


Heroin, in particular, seems to get a lot of jazz musicians.

There is a reason why most musicians will tell you to stay far away from heroin even if they are quite the partakers of almost everything else.


I've been a performing jazz musician for 40+ years. I've never heard of or observed heroin use, never been offered it. I doubt that jazz musicians are more or less likely to partake, than the population in general. Alcohol is a big problem.
