It's been 2 1/2 years since Joan Rivers' husband committed suicide but the comedian says she only recently was able to listen to a taped message he left her. "It was terrible, terrible because the voice is the voice of someone I loved who had already taken pills and was saying goodbye," she said in an interview in Sunday's Parade magazine. "That's all I want to say, but I will never listen to that tape again. Never." Her husband of 22 years, Edgar Rosenberg, took an overdose of prescription drugs in August 1987. Rivers said getting fired from her syndicated show on the Fox network and the negative publicity she received when she left NBC contributed to her husband's depression. "He blamed himself for everything," Rivers said.
