Nilsson headed back to California, where he and Lennon would soon partake in their infamously debauched "lost weekend" (which actually lasted about a year and a half) while making the album 'Pussy Cats' together. He began lending his London apartment to friends in the music business. After two sold-out shows at the London Palladium in July 1974, "Mama" Cass Elliot suffered a fatal heart attack in one of the beds in Nilsson's flat. (Contrary to the longstanding urban legend, the zaftig singer did not die from choking on a ham sandwich.)
Four years later, Keith Moon and his girlfriend retired to the same apartment after joining Paul and Linda McCartney at a screening of 'The Buddy Holly Story.' Trying to quit drinking, the Who drummer was treating his withdrawals with Clomethiazole. He died of an overdose of the sedative -- reportedly, in the same bed that Mama Cass had died in. Moon's last album with the Who, 'Who Are You,' had just been released. On the cover, the drummer was seated backward in a chair stamped "Not to Be Taken Away."
