I will assume you mean "massive" star. It is fairly short. Such a star will have a larger than normal pressure, be very hot, and burn up its fuel in just a few million years (a short time for a star). The largest (most massive) stars will end up as a spectacular supernova, when they become unstable toward the end of their lives; then they will collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on the remaining mass.
