      Rock legend Jimi Hendrix was murdered by his manager as part of an insurance scam, a new book by one of his former aides claims.

      Hendrix choked to death on his own vomit when he was 27 but the exact circumstances of his death have always been a mystery.

      Now James 'Tappy' Wright, one of the rock star's roadies, claims that Hendrix's manager, Michael Jeffery, confessed to killing him. Jeffery is said to have made a drunken confession a year after the star's death in September 1970.

      An ambulance crew found Hendrix's body in the Samarkand Hotel in West London, in the room of Monika Dannemann, a girl he had known for just a few days.

      Wright claims Jeffery was worried that Hendrix was preparing to find a new manager when their deal was due to end in December 1970. According to Wright, Jeffery said he went to the hotel room and stuffed Hendrix full of pills and wine.
