On This Day, Sept. 18, 1970 …<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rocker\u00a0Jimi Hendrix\u00a0<\/strong>died after being found unconscious at London\u2019s Samarkand Hotel. A coroner later ruled he died after asphyxiating on his own vomit after taking barbiturates.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hendrix was only 27 years old when he passed, but he had already left his mark on the musical world, thanks to such songs as \u201cPurple Haze,\u201d \u201cHey Joe\u201d and \u201cThe Wind Cries Mary,\u201d and his classic album\u00a0<\/span>Are You Experienced?<\/span><\/em> He was also well known for his live performances, including iconic sets at the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hendrix was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 with his band\u00a0The\u00a0Jimi Hendrix Experience<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And\u00a0Hendrix fans will soon learn more about him. It was recently announced that the first full length documentary on the rocker is in the works, helmed by\u00a0<\/span>The Greatest Night in\u00a0Pop\u00a0<\/span><\/em>director\u00a0Bao Nguyen<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
