Death of Arron Lester

Arron Lester was a musician in Dissua, most known for being a part of The Psychedelics. Lester died of a heroin overdose on the 16th of July 1974 at his house just outside Ealaton, Dissau. His death led to his friend and fellow band member to kill himself due to the guilt over Lester's death and the feeling that he had something to do with it. Lester's death was a major point in music and pop culture history, being one of the biggest music and pop culture deaths in Dissau, the pacific, and gained some attraction outside of the pacific.
== Background ==
On the 11th of June 1974, The Psychedelics released their 14th and last studio album titled "Seek What Must Be Sought." The album was massive success, reaching number in the Shea Isles, the UK, the US, Germany, France, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Iceland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Their success led to the band agreeing to continue their tour, picking the 5th of July 1974 as the continuation date of the tour. They began touring in the 9th because Lester had become really sick on the 5th and was unable to perform. Lester continuously dabbled in drugs the week before his death and was becoming incredibly high and almost unable to perform during the start of the tour. Lester had generally recovered from his major drug use by 1972 and was described as "incredibly clean" by Robyn Gibbs in 1975. His cleanliness was struck down after his mother died days after their latest album was released. This led to Lester becoming incredibly invested in drug use again, taking heroin, alcohol, LSD, hallucinogens and other drugs.
Once performing had begun Lester was becoming really drunk and high before and during shows, leading to the other band members having a hard time performing with him as his vocals kept fluctuating between different notes - the wrong notes. The band were very supportive of Lester after his mother's death and sometimes managed to get him to stop engaging in drug use but once the shows began, it became almost impossible to stop his use. Lester passed out twice on the 12th leading to Prince having to check if Lester had died or not each time. Luckily, Lester was breathing both times and was woken up both times but many fans as well as the band were concerned for his health, leading to the band calling the show off early. The band asked Lester whether he wanted to continue performing for the tour and he agreed to go on.
== Final Hours ==
=== The Show ===
The band continued performing on the 15th of July 1974, beginning their concert at 22:00 at a local pub as they agreed to start at a slower pace until going to larger stadiums. Lester had taken a lot of heroin that night, injecting into himself before the concert before he went to perform. Lester soon began failing to sing properly, ditching his guitar, and making somebody else play guitar for him. The band got more and more worried and discussed whether to end the concert around midnight. They eventually agreed to stop the concert at 00:13 and apologized to fans for ending the show early. The band then got in a car at 00:26 and began driving home.
=== Arriving Home, Sleep, & Death ===
The band arrived home at around 00:48 and flopped Lester onto the sofa in the living room and got him some water. Lester was apparently completely inaudible at this point and was only mouthing words, hardly swallowing the water that he was being given. The band agreed to put Lester to bed and so they put him to bed about five minutes later. They tucked him in, laying him on his side, and waited until he went to sleep at around 1:04 in the morning. The band then proceeded to go downstairs and have a couple drinks. They remained quite quiet as to not wake Lester and also because they were quite tired. They discussed Lester's condition and his mother's death, vowing to not allow Lester to take a single drug ever again. They wanted to force Lester to take rehab or at least discuss his problems when he wakes up in the morning.
The band finished their last drinks around 1:35 and decided to check up on Lester around 1:46. When the band arrived they found Lester unconscious and not breathing. Stafford immediately called an ambulance and began trying to get Lester's heart to start going by performing CPR. The CPR failed to do anything but when the ambulance arrived they rushed him to the hospital in the hope that they could restart his heart. They failed to restart hid heart and at 1:59 on the 16th of July 1974, Arron Lester was pronounced dead.
