"Celebrity" Deaths
« on: April 21, 2016, 12:45:25 PM »
So... Chyna from WWE & porn (shudder). Surprising because she was young, didn't see it coming because I forgot she existed. Steroid OD?

My money is on John Madden sometime this year. How the hell is that guy still alive?

No shocker on Chyna.. but Prince? Didn't see that coming

Quote
The artist known as Prince has died ... TMZ has learned. He was 57.
Prince's body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning.
Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed.
The singer -- full name Prince Rogers Nelson -- had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.

Yeah, that's much more surprising even though he was older than Chyna. Wipes her out of the news swiftly.

This year really does keep chugging with the famous deaths, big and small.

You could almost do a 'Sgt Pepper' style cover with all the celebs that died this year and you wouldn't have to dip too far into the 'C' list to do it.

Prince had been sick lately but you are right, I did not see that coming.  Not a good year for musicians.  It is never a good year for wrestlers as many of them die young.

Morley Safer, but he was 84, so nothing on the level of Prince or even Bowie as far as it being surprising.

Now with all these celebrity deaths this yeah, how the fuck is John Madden still alive? How is Little Richard still alive? Chubby Checker? Still alive. Fats Domino - alive.

Dustin Diamond, also still alive... can't someone introduce him to heroin? Please?

They all pal around with Keith Richards, and we know the reaper gives him a wide berth. =P

Keith Richards inadvertently embalmed himself. It's like camouflage for hiding from death.

You know, did it ever occur to anybody that maybe Keith Richards IS the reaper??? That would explain a lot. And don't forget Mick singing " Pleased to meet you, have you guessed my name?".  I'm telling you, it's gotta be one, both, or ALL of them. How can ALL of them still possibly be alive, when so many others have already gone???
