More Jimi Hendrix Murder Theories
Guitar Player’s Center has an interesting theory on the alleged murder which involves the CrossRoads theory we discussed earlier this year in a post called Devil in Music , in this post we learned about a guy named Robert Johnston who is said to have sold his soul to the devil at a place called the crossroads. From GPC:
Is the crossroads hypothetical ? Can we prove that the musicians who went to the crossroads all met the same fate? Was Jimi’s manager, Michael Jeffrey the devil himself? Only to die in a plane crash after he allegedly murdered the greatest and most prolific guitar player ever. Was that his due? It was well deserved if so…Read the rest.
The author published these remarks in response to comments surrounding the release of a book by author James “Tappy” Wright a former roadie. Rock Roadie is a book detailing many of Wrights’ personal experiences as a roadie. One such incident has been stirring a lot of contraversy outlines alledged details of the Murder of Jimi Hendrix by his manager, Micheal Jeffrey. In response to the article published on Guitar Today about this particular part of the book, a representative from Borkowski PR posted some quotes from a statement made by the book’s author, James Wright.
I knew what Mike Jeffrey had done and I kept quiet for all this time because I was terrified. It wasn’t just me and him involved – the Mafia were part of this and Mike owed them money. He was paying out $30,000 a month to pay back the money he’d borrowed
Wright also indicated that he didn’t go public with this story before because so many lives were involved with hiding the truth.
If I hadn’t kept quiet, you’d have been reading about me in the obituaries.

I have long believed Jimi was murdered, if not by Jeffreys then by the mob, CIA, etc.
Jimi had NO ILLEGAL DRUGS in his system, and NO wine in his blood stream, just full in his lungs and windpipe. He had been forced (9) powerful German Vesparax sleeping pills then drowned in gallons of red wine. Jimi was found laying in bed on his back, fully-clothed & dead for hours, with wine & vomit all over the bed & room. With a girlfriend scared to death and lying thru her teeth, convenienly ‘gone’ when he was killed, and the police & paramedics conveniently called 5-7 hours later anonymously…and Eric Burden refusing to call for help hours earlier…a it ALL ads up to murder…
I just can’t get past this feeling of this hoakie nobody ‘roadie’ coming out-of-the-blue just trying to cash-in on Jimi’s legacy in this morbid way…even at this late stage…
Everyone is dead except for Eric Burden and he is yet to come out with the truth…now 39 years later… God WILL get him in the end!
