Terry Kath was a founding member and lead guitarist of the band Chicago. Aside from playing the guitar, he played numerous other instruments and was known for his skill on the banjo, accordion, bass, and drums. He was also known to sing for Chicago on tracks such as “Colour My World” and “Make Me Smile”. Although he had a history of drug and alcohol addiction, that wasn’t what directly killed him. While at a crew member’s house on January 28, 1978, Kath was fooling around with guns, unloading them and then pointing them at his head and pulling the trigger. Unfortunately, when he did it with a 9mm it was loaded. He shot and killed himself on accident.
