Both Mama Cass (The Mamas & The Papas) and Keith Moon (The Who) died at singer Harry Nilsson‘s flat, No. 12 at 9 Curzon Place (now 1 Curzon Square) in Mayfair, London. They died on the same bed, though four years apart!
Nilsson, who had a Billboard no. 1 with breakup song classic Without You and similar success with a cover of Everybody’s Talkin’ from the movie Midnight Cowboy, felt the flat had bad vibes from the start. Apparently Ringo Starr‘s girlfriend designed it for him.
After Moon died there in 1978, Pete Townshend bought the flat so that a distraught Nilsson wouldn’t have to return.
Address: 1 Curzon Square, Mayfair, London W1J 7FZ
