"Shooting Star" is a song by Bad Company which tells the story of young boy who grows up to be a Rock Star, but he succumbs to Rock and Roll excess and dies of a drug overdose. According to Bad Company lead singer Paul Rodgers, the song is a warning. He wrote it about the casualties of the music business; people like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin as well as others who didn't make it. (Thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, WA)

Rogers may have drawn inspiration from his former Free band mate, late guitarist Paul Kossoff, who died of a heroin overdose.
