December 14, 20169 yr The year of musicians continues... Leon Russell passes away at 74 years old. I'll need to look into what kind of music he wrote and played. Does Alan Thicke count as a musician? He wrote lots of TV theme songs. Only 69
December 14, 20169 yr Alan Thicke had one of the most surreal and lucrative careers in the history of entertainment. Sitcom? Check. Talk show host? Check. Composer of one of Television's greatest ever theme songs (Diff'rent Strokes)? Check.

December 27, 20169 yr The first rule of 2017 is that we don't talk about 2016.Ever again. http://ijr.com/2016/04/590512-experts-may-have-a-reason-for-why-weve-lost-so-many-celebrities-this-year/ Edited December 27, 20169 yr by Craig Arko
December 27, 20169 yr Ever again. http://ijr.com/2016/04/590512-experts-may-have-a-reason-for-why-weve-lost-so-many-celebrities-this-year/ I'm not sure 2016 will seem all that remarkable within a couple of years. At least as celebrity deaths are concerned.
December 27, 20169 yr All of these celebrity deaths this year have been crazy. I think this will keep happening as the more we move into those who found fame in the 50's and 60's when television became a thing there were more celebrities. But none of these hit as hard as losing your mother does. This year can kiss my ass. Edited December 27, 20169 yr by lecroy24fan

December 28, 20169 yr I know this thread probably is not the best place for me to post this, but I really don't want to start a new thread on this. Very sad to see Carrie Fisher pass away. Way too young. She was a multi-faceted talent. Whether it be acting, writing, rewriting movie scripts, advocate, or being a quirky personality. I really appreciated the honesty with her battles with chemical abuse and depression. She might have been born into Hollywood royalty and the trappings of that, which certainly had to add to her adult struggles, but she was relatable and I think people from different walks of life, who's own struggles mirrored Carrie Fisher's, lost a great friend today. The world lost a lot more than Princess Leia today.
December 28, 20169 yr There's been numerous celebrity deaths this year but many of them either would have required insider knowledge (Rickman, Bowie) or have been lucky guesses. (Fisher, Thicke)

December 29, 20169 yr There is no way this is coincidence. An unfortunate chain reaction. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-38455777
December 30, 20169 yr Are you calling shenanigans? Absolutely. All I meant was the high number of celebrity deaths doesn't necessarily mean many successful death pools.
