From John Lennon to Tupac - Murdered Music Stars

Marvin Gaye – The soul icon was infamously murdered by his own father Marvin Sr. Relations between Gaye and his family reached breaking point after he moved back in with his parents in 1984. Gaye was shot by his father after he intervened during a row between his parents over misplaced business documents. The gun used was a present given to Marvin Sr by his son. Marvin Sr. was sentenced to five years probation after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter. Charges of first-degree murder were dropped after it was claimed that Marvin Sr. had been beaten by Marvin Jr. before the killing. Gaye was just 44-years-old.
