So many baby Boomers.

Reminds everyone that your idols are human and can die and so will you.

We only are touched by others deaths because it reminds us that we too are going to die.

People die no matter how famous or talented they are. Live an learn.

This is 2016. There are close to 100 years now of "mass media." Celebrities are athletes, musicians, actors, politicians, writers, artists, and the list goes on and on.

People die.

There are more celebrities now than ever.

Celebrities are going to die.

Who will be next?

people think these people are somehow going to live forever, like they have the secret to living longer. while we are all sobbing over these celebs dying there are thousands of children who die every day needlessly, there are mothers and fathers who left their children behind before their time, brother, sisters, cousins, uncles...you get what i am saying here. you pass the fatal collision on your way to work or home and view it as an annoyance that your commute is slowed but someone lost their life there and are never coming home. why are these people not worthy of our tears?

Keep updates till the end of the year

agreed, every day we know we live & we die, the only 2 things we know is certain. Although, this year, already so many famous names have passed, it's a shame :(

Agreed, some of the celebrities listed I've never heard of.

What pisses me off is that he is still living in America. The Great Donald J. Trump is going to put a stop to that.

Sorry for your loss Baddog. Wishing you all the best.

Raising this thread again, rather than starting a new one, omg, i've just looked at wikipedia & seen the amount of deaths this year, including the porn actress Amber Rayne & other young people. Just take a quick brouse down the list of people just for April & sadly notice the young British rugby, Australian & US American football players. As young as 30 with cancers & heart attacks :(

Thanks for the thread and the photos, Paul.
