He Died 40 Years Ago, Now His Children Confirm the Rumors 

Ricky Nelson was a gorgeous man.

A lot of people may not know this but his birth name was actually Eric Hilliard Nelson.

Ricky Nelson sang so romantic. I watched the video and did not know about a lot of RN life. As a teenager I was devastated when he died. Cried as if I knew him. I still listen to his music, and vision him singing it. I’m 70 and RN is and will be always my idol. ❤😊

I don’t care about any of this, I will always like his music, and that’s what we remember, great.

His daughter, Tracy, is an excellent actress.

I think people all live alone his children told the truth. Yeah, I always meant to say drugs are involved somewhere or drinking. You know sometimes things just happened like he was going to fast. You should let him rest in peace. That’s my comment. God bless you and your family.

Grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet and always enjoyed the show…especially when Rickie started singing on the show. It was sad we lost him so soon…❤🙏🏼❤️

Loved him and family as a child

Ricky Nelson❤

My husband was a singer and actually quite good I always thought. But, he was in awe of Rick Nelson's talent and ability in music. We went to one of Nelson's concerts and I was amazed that Nelson didn't have a guitar glued to his torso. He sat at the piano and, along with his voice, used those two instruments throughout the entire evening. He WAS a talented musician. It's criminal that ignorant folks downplay his musical ability in pathetic attempts to look informed at his expense.

Why is it always something is said about people when they have gone,I just wish everyone could keep things to themselves. When no one is here to defend themselves. That is what is wrong with today, everyone has something to say, but is it true? ❤ always cared for Rick and family .

I loved Ricky when I was a small child then came the great Cliff Richard and sorry Ricky slipped to second place. We in Uk didn't get much news after the 60s but I have always loved Ricky

You left out a great deal. I'm pretty sure his children were not aware.

I love Rick nelson

Death brings out the worst n untitled humans . They seem to claim property that doesn't belong to them and they have no reality of the facts. A LIVING WILL IS EASY TO WRITE. AMAZING THANKS GOOD STORY

These AI scripts are so poorly edited, but when the pronounciation goes haywire it entertaining!😂

Sure enjoyed him and miss him.

Leave the man alone

In some ways he kinda reminds me of GEORGE HARRISON.

Thanks for the interesting education on recreational drugs. Sad.

I got to kiss Ricky in 1972. Havent wiped that kiss off yet lol. So good looking! I love the Bots ITALIAN accent lol!!😂😅😅😅😅😂😂

how can his kids confirm anything when there voices were muted

I never heard anything about him driving crazy. Sounds like James Dean.

Your pronunciation is baffling. Some times you get it right while at other times I can't understand a word you are saying. Good video that ended much too soon.

Wow didn’t know it had been that long.

As wild as Ricky lived, and the skipping over of an autopsy to prove any drug involvement would be likely be how his life ended.

Why do they always have to make singers look bad,I don't need to hear all this,leave all singers slone

Now whether or not drugs were involved we will never know. Personally I don' think so.

Enough of this B.S.!

Here's my 2 cents worth...Ricky was the handsomeness teen idol of all time...He was GORGEOUS.I still think that Ozzie was a tough father that in reality destroyed Ricky.If Ozzie was a better father Ricky would not have done what was due.I don't know about his mother, Harriet was to him. But i know that if your father is like a ogre to you then you have to fight him for your freedom. I don't know what relationship was with David..if it was the same. I have reason to believe that Ricky was bi sexual...Is there any proof? His performance on The Ed Sullivan show of 'Your Kinda Lovin' is a very sexy song as he shows his sexiness at the end.

Oh Zee lol

The daughter looks EXACTLY like her mother.

WEll THATS TEMTATION ALRIGHT. ITS EVER SO HARD AND DIFFICULT TO REMAIN FOCUS ON REALITY. 75 % OR MORE SUCUMED TO TEMTATION WHICH IS VER SAD. TYPICAL HUMAN BEHAVIOR. IT TAKES A " GODLY PERSON ". TO REFRAIN FROM AL THIS BEHAVIOR.😊

Ricky and David do not pass Adolf’s ear lobe test.
