• Future Music Festival Asia 2014 Deaths Caused By Heatstroke, Not Drugs Says Doctor

    Future Music Festival was forced to shutter its doors after one last hurrah this past March with some of the biggest artists in the world like Drake, Avicii and 2 Chainz. The Asian festival brand also expected to host an event in Singapore this year, but was forced to cancel after government officials refused licenses at the last minute. A stigma followed the Asian edition of FMF around drug-wary South East Asia where six people died of what were reported as drug overdoses at the time by local police in Kuala Lumpur. However, according to University Malaya Medical Center (UMMC) forensic pathology department head Prof. Dr. K Nadesan, post-mortem autopsies showed the cause of death to be heatstroke, not drugs.

"Shocked" might be a bit of a stretch, considering that the rapper has been on a tear of unpredictable behavior since the release of his Barter 6 album. First he tried to cop the name Tha Carter 6 from Lil Wayne (and in an "unrelated" incident, his road manager was just arrested for allegedly shooting at Weezy's tour bus). The he got the "tribute" tattoo. What next? Will he start wearing clocks on chains as a "tribute" to Flava Flav? Anyway, all we have right now is that Young Thug got some fresh ink, and it's on his face. Here are six other prominent musicians that have used their heads as showcases for questionable art installations.
