2017 - can only get worse.......

What's Hot
hywelghywelg Frets: 4302
Think about it. All those who didn't die at age 29 are probably still around, but they are old now. And they didn't treat their bodies that we'll. 

So just  think who's left, there's a lot of them

6 Rolling Stones, 2 Beatles, 2 Who, 2 Zeppelin,  4 Sabbath, 3 Queen, 4 Bad Co, 2 Cream, 3 (or more!)Fleetwood Mac, both Kinks brothers, John Mayall, 4 Slade, etc etc..And that's even before you get to the late 70's era Punk  and 80's Hm. 

It can only get worse.

And no we won't start a sweepstake to guess the first one for 2017 :)

    It might be a great year, but be prepared for worse to come, they are all getting on a bit. But they will all be trumped by the Queen. She's got to go at some point.

  • To be honest,  (this is just how l see it) , even tho Bowie Rickman, etc was upsetting, I didn't know them personally, so for me it wasn't a great loss, and didn't effect  my year in a hugely  negatively way.

    Fortunately my happiness is not predicated on the longevity of celebrities.

    Me neither, but talented musicians who have given me much audio pleasure is another matter. Rick Parfitt probably the most of all of those who went in 2016. And Andy Fraser.

    Which wouldn't be( just to point out the bleeding obvious) just another celebrity passing but our head of state and, potentially, the beginning of a change in the role of the monarchy in the UK ( and commonwealth?). Although everyone might get a day off work ( which somewhat puts the pressure on me to get a job before Lizzie snuffs it).

    It wasn't me.that introduced the idea that it's celebrities we've been losing. I was talking about influential musicians. 

    Celebrities can take a walk.

    I'd give her another ten years - her mother got to over a hundred, and she looks in better health at the same age at the moment. Phil I'm not so sure about - he's really looking a bit shaky these days, and he's probably got prostate cancer.

    I agree about the increasing numbers of aging - or even not-so-aging, but not very healthy - rock and pop stars though.

    Everyone is going to die. Doesn't make it any less tragic. But 'curse [insert year] for taking celebrities!' will be a dull discourse for the rest of time, it isn't the calendar's fault.

    i think its right that the old "stars" shuffle off, makes room for the newbies, and it is of course the natural course of things
