7. John Denver
Leaving on a Jet Plane singer-songwriter, John Denver, was an avid pilot who collected vintage biplanes. Sadly, he met his demise on October 12, 1997 in a single-fatality crash in an experimental Rutan Long-EZ aircraft. The 53 year old was also an activist and occasional actor. Ditties like Rocky Mountain High, Country Roads, Sunshine on My Shoulders and Annie’s Song were among his many hits. Do to issues with alcohol, he wasn’t legally allowed to fly at the time of his accident, although no traces of alcohol were found in the autopsy.
