Sorry to sound so morbid.
I'm working on something and would like to see what type of list we can come up with. No need to post the Wikipedia list (all of us have access to it already).
Also, it'd be nice if you knew by what method they took their lives.
Let's start with some of the more obvious ones:
Tim Buckley - heroin/morphine/ethanol overdoseJudee Sill - cocaine and codeine overdoseNick Drake - Prescription medicine overdose/probable suicide?Phil Ochs - hangingIan Curtis - hangingMark Linkous - gunshot to the heartKurt Cobain - gunshotElliott Smith - stabbing/unknown/possible homicideMarilyn Monroe - probably suicide/barbiturate overdose
Controversial/unknown/disappearances also count.
I almost want to say those who were on life support and stopped receiving it should count, as well, but this complicates matters, as many did not explicitly say they wanted to end their lives. I'm thinking of Glenn Gould here.

come on people, it's 2013 and musicians are DYING
Johnny Ace? Heard one of those "on this day" bits on the radio Christmas Day, the story that he killed himself playing Russian Roulette. Just looked at the Wikipedia entry, which disputes that with testimony he was just showing off, telling everyone the gun wasn't loaded. Either way, pointing a gun at yourself and pulling the trigger seems like halfway to suicide regardless of context.
