Underground punk singer GG Allin became notorious as rock music's most extreme and terrifying performer. Performing entirely naked and covered in cuts and bruises, Allin routinely defecated on stage, hurled feces at audience members, and physically assaulted concertgoers and venue security. He spent years promising to commit suicide on stage on Halloween night, though he never followed through. His chaotic life ended on June 28, 1993, from an accidental heroin overdose in Manhattan following a riot that erupted when his concert was shut down after two songs.
