Was Jimi Hendrix Murdered?
“I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I’d lose everything.” Micheal Jeffrey is quoted as saying in a new book by one of Hendrix’s roadies James “Tappy” Wright.
Wright says that Jeffrey confessed the crime to him a year after Hendrix’s death, during a drunken session at the roadie’s house. Hendrix’s manager is reported to have filled him full of pills and booze with plans to kill him and collect his life insurance plan of $2 million dollars, naming Jeffrey as the sole beneficiary. Jeffrey himself died in a plane crash years ago.
It is well known that Jimi Hendrix’s manager, Micheal Jeffrey cheated Hendrix out of much of his earnings. When he heard that Hendrix was planning on dumping him he alledgy formed the plot to kill Jimi. The official cause of death was documented as barbituate intoxication and vomit in Hendrix’s lungs. If his manager truly did pour wine and pills into his windpipe it would rhyme up with the coroner’s reported findings.
Was a rock legend truly assasinated by his own manager for money?

As crazy and unlikely as it all sounds… maybe! Mike Jeffrey never comes across well in anybody’s book. Certainly all that business regarding the end of the Band Of Gypsys (dosing Jimi up with bad acid before the madison square garden gig and then firing Buddy Miles) says that he’s capable of some pretty bad shit…. Jeffrey definitely contributed to Jimi’s death - if not in such a direct way as murdering him - by overworking him, not allowing him to have time off from touring and then meddling in his creative decision making. Grade A asshole…
