Many people associate substance use with the rock industry. Still, Cash proved that no one is exempt from falling into the clutches of addictions due to their self-destructive behavior.

These pills quickly became a part of his life, giving him what he needed to do more concerts and have a lot of energy on stage. But the price he ended up paying was too high.

He lost his family, almost lost his life and career. Of course, Johnny ended up getting banned from "The Grand Ole Opry" after an episode where he showed how aggressive his behavior had become.

This time he exploded in anger on stage, only due to his state of mind and the lifestyle he was leading at the time. And although he was a recognized and highly appreciated artist from the beginning, they decided to let him go that day.

Fortunately, this is not a story that ends in tragedy. He showed us that when a person wants to get their life back on track, everyone is willing to give it a second chance. Even The Grand Ole Opry, since after three years, allowed him to return to the stage when he showed that he had changed his life.

Although he struggled with addictions for a significant part of his life, he left behind a decades-long legacy of songs and contributions to the world.

Johnny Cash died in 2003. He was an example to follow, beyond his addictions. His work in life speaks for who he was as a person and as an artist. Likewise, he managed to record a large number of successful albums and popular songs that are part of his legacy.
