The Supremes were the greatest girl band ever. Over the course of the 60’s they had 12 Billboard chart topping hits, including 5 consecutive number 1’s – still a record for a girl band. They were an international sensation – three teenage, African American girls from the Detroit projects who conquered the world. Berry Gordy, the boss of Motown, moulded Mary Wilson, Flo Ballard and Diana Ross into music stars as The Supremes. When they first got together, they were inseparable, but as their fame grew something happened to shatter the bonds between these friends. Diana Ross rose to become a superstar, but for another band member it would end in a tragedy of drink, despair and death. Told through the first hand testimony of those that were there, including original band member Mary Wilson, and with expert psychological analysis from Dr Linda Papadopoulos, this is the story of the Break Up of the Supremes.

Florence Ballard was the founding member, and original leader, of the Supremes – the most successful female group in history. With enduring classics such as Stop! In the name of Love, they had 10 number one hits in just 3 years. But for Flo, the fame and the pressures of the business were just too much to cope with. She turned to alcohol, and was kicked out of the band she founded at the age of just 23. Within a few years she was a single mother of three living on welfare, and by the age of 32 she was dead. Expert pathologist Dr Michael Hunter uncovers the truth behind her tragic early death.

Whitney Houston was a global superstar. Selling over 200 million records her extraordinary voice took her from a gospel choir to become a worldwide singing phenomenon. But at 3.36pm on February 11th 2012 she was found unconscious in a bathtub in a Hollywood hotel. Within minutes she was pronounced dead. The world’s media had long been filled with sordid tales of drug and alcohol addiction but with a new recording contract and a fresh start away from her former badboy husband Bobby Brown, it seemed Whitney Houston was finally turning her life around.

Luther Vandross was one of the brightest stars in the music business in the 80 and 90’s, notching up a raft of hit albums, including his “party starter” single , “Never Too Much” and his album “Dance With My Father” which went straight to No1 in the charts. Luther’s career faltered in the 90’s but in the early 2000’s he was making a successful comeback when disaster struck – he was the victim of a massive stroke in April 2003, which left him in a coma for nearly 2 months. Luther survived and seemed to be coping with his condition at a rehabilitation centre – but less than 2 years later his life was cut tragically short when he collapsed and died following what medical reports described as a cardiac arrhythmia – a catastrophic disruption to his heartbeat.
Forensic Pathologist Dr Michael investigates what really killed Luther Vandross, uncovering through his medical investigation the story of a man tormented by an addiction to one of life’s basic necessities – food. Luther’s extreme weight gain, tipping the scale at 340 pounds with a BMI in the 40, made him morbidly obese – a condition that will lead to heart problems, but Dr Hunter discovers that a hereditary disease, poor lifestyle choices and a disastrous decision on drug taking, combined with Luther’s obsessive desire to take control of his career, may have played a part in his death.
