Very few artists, such as Rahsaan Patterson and Tracey Spencer have survived 'child stardom.' So many other celebrities may still be alive but they are barely surviving, as the industry they work for assures they remain unstable. Michael Jackson, Martin Lawrence, Dave Chapelle, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Phyllis Hyman, Britney Spears and many others are clear examples of what happens when you don't have a proper support network, regarding mental and spiritual health.
