BUDDY STARTED THE MUSICIANS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
Buddy Arnold, a jazz saxophonist and recovering heroin addict who spent years helping musicians and other music industry professionals kick their addictions through his nonprofit drug and alcohol treatment program, has died. He was 77.
Arnold, co-founder of the Hollywood-based Musicians’ Assistance Program, died Sunday of complications from open-heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Founded by Arnold and his wife, former agent Carole Fields, in 1992, the Musicians’ Assistance Program has been described as the first unified effort by the recording industry to combat drug abuse by musicians.
