Ah, not necessarily. Many artistes continued to chart, and even thrived, after their death.

Cue Simpsons quote..............
Lisa: "But I want to buy that Bleeding Gums Murphy album now that he's dead" (not exact quote, but hey)

Comic Book Guy (WHY was he selling ALBUMS??): "He's dead? Oh in that case..." (Takes the album down, marks the price up by 100 percent)...

So in many weird ways, dying could be the smartest move of a musician's career...
