This is a sad song about the death of popular musicians, such as Elvis Presley, Johnnie Ray, and Gene Vincent, who were killed by something different from a gunshot. In effect: Elvis Presley died from a heart failure, in presence of drugs intoxication; Johnnie Ray died from complications of liver failure; Gene Vincent died from a ruptured stomach ulcer. The final part of the song is particularly bitter, because it suggests that an artist can be considered a human being only after death. So, perhaps, it's one of the saddest songs I've heard, although with the rhythm at 139 BPM. Fast rhythms can fool you.
