Moby "resented" Heath Ledger for dying — because at the time of the actor's passing he didn't want to live anymore himself.
The Play hitmaker lived very close to the Brokeback Mountain actor when he passed away from an accidental overdose in 2008 and the musician admitted he questioned what
he'd done "wrong" that meant he hadn't been overcome by his own excesses.
Speaking to Q magazine, he said of Heath's passing: "I kind of resented it because I knew that I was drinking more than he was and doing more drugs than he was doing.
"I just remember thinking, 'Why isn't it me? What am I doing wrong? Why are all these people dying and not me?' Almost saying to God, 'Come on, give me a break.'"
At that point in his life, Moby was drinking to excess and taking drugs, including tranquiliser Xanax and painkiller Vicodin in order to get to sleep and admitted he'd wake up "disappointed" to still be alive.
