HISTORY IN A HOTEL ROOM No. 5 by Rick Sealock June 27, 2002: After a night at the bar with bandmates, Who bassist John Entwistle retires to his room at the Hard Rock Hotel to party with a stripper named Sianna. After doing some cocaine and, presumably, other strenuous activities, Entwistle falls asleep, never to wake up. The coroner determines Entwistle died of a cocaine-induced heart attack. (Roger Daltrey later joked that Entwistle would have wanted his all-tooclassic death scene turned into an exhibit befitting the Hard Rock’s theme.)
