The Macabre 2002 Plan to Dig Up and Sell Jimi Hendrix's Body: The Shocking Story That Shook the Rock World

Noel Redding and Kathy Etchingham criticized it harshly, comparing it to a body snatching scheme. There were even sales of engravings of fans' names at the tomb. The transfer took place secretly in November 2002. This story reveals the dark sides of fame, inheritance and exploitation.
