    Reddit and Twitter are going crazy tonight over this

     

    2020 so far has actually had quite a lot of prominent deaths so far given that we're only a month and a half into the year

     

    This one is truly shocking

     

    We knew she was troubled, but we didn't expect this

    Updated for Kirk Douglas.

    The 1997 and 2002 lists are now extinct, while 2004 and 2009 are down to their last survivor.

     

    One thing you notice is that it's the "silly" picks (those that are chosen on a whim based on some spurious information about the person's activities that put them at risk of death) that tend to be the last survivors of lists

     

    Shaun Ryder and Mr. T are good examples of what I'm talking about

    I don't know as much about Rush as I do about other progressive rock bands like Yes and King Crimson, but every time I've heard their music I've really enjoyed it and from everything that I'm aware he was a really talented drummer and this is a major loss to the music world

    Show's officially cursed.

     

    2016 - Gest

    2017 - Chegwin

    2018 - Troyer

    2019 - McCririck

    2020 - Acorah

     

    2021 - L.Nolan? Busey? Random?

     

    I thought it was Love Island that was cursed, not Celebrity Big Brother

    See, Andrew might be in danger due to the running trend of either Monarch or Consort outliving at least one child:

     

    Queen Mum outlived Princess Margaret.

    Mary of Teck outlived George VI, Prince John and Prince George.

    Edward VII (and his wife) outlived Prince Albert.

    Queen Victoria outlived Princess Alice, Prince Alfred and Prince Leopold.

    William IV outlived his own legitimate child.

    George IV outlived Princess Charlotte.

    George III outlived Prince Edward, Prince Octavius, Prince Alfred and Princess Amelia.

    George II outlived Princess Anne, Princess Caroline, Prince George, Princess Louise, Prince Frederick (the heir)

    George I... only outlived one of his mistresses kids.

     

    But there, 300 years of tradition to keep up. Prince Andrew should be worried.

     

    Now watch him live to 100 and the rather unassuming Princess Anne snuff it in the next week...:o:P

     

    Only the good die young

    Age is a factor. Once McCartney reaches his 80's his death becomes less and less of a shock. Frank Sinarta was a bigger star than Cobain but dying of old age meant his death wasn't such an event.

     

    Dylan and McCartney will be in their 80s within the next few years

     

    Provided they both live that long of course

     

    Jagger and Richards will soon follow, and ditto for them as well

    Agree, I even said that myself once

     

    Frank Sinatra was the most important musician who died in the 90s, but not the most important musical death of the 90s as his death wasn't the most relevant at the time

     

    But then again the same could be argued about Bowie in the 10s

     

    The most important death of the 70s could be Jim Morrison or Jimi Hendrix, but it could also be Elvis even though he was past his prime

     

    And also McCartney is still one of the most important musicians of all time, and he's headlining Glastonbury this year I think

    Nobody has Bob Dylan dying in the next 10 years? Or Phil Spector? Or Jack Nicklaus? Or Bill Clinton? Or Tom Baker?

     

    If John Lennon was the biggest musical death of the 80s, Kurt Cobain the biggest in the 90s, Michael Jackson in the 00s and David Bowie in the 10s, then surely Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney are the strongest candidates to become the biggest musical deaths of the 20s?

     

    There's a chance McCartney could see 2030 but Dylan on the other hand has at most 5 years left imho

     

    Then on the other hand there's also Jagger and Richards as well, I think we're all stunned Richards is still alive now never mind 2030

    Aye, which is always a good thing - MacGowan  and Crosby stand out for me as Lemmy/Keith Richard cases of improbable longevity - if and when the tabloids take an interest it'd likely be Shane they'll mention. 

     

    Sutcliffe might outlive Peter Tobin but it wouldn't surprise me to see them both out of the game by year's end and Tobin probably isn't celeb enough for the list. So Sutcliffe is a good pick if only because there's that feel good factor when a notorious criminal carks.

     

    If Bill Gates Sr and Ruby Muhammad are celeb enough, anyone is

    Yeah, I mentioned those two as the possible shocking young deaths.  As grim as this may sound, I've always predicted Britney Spears will die young.   Either a suicide by cop ala Vanessa Marquez, or something along the lines of Judy Garland and Whitney Houston. 

     

    You thinking of an American, world famous celebrity though?

     

    We've already had in the UK the deaths of Love Island contestants in recent years. Amy Winehouse was another one

    I too do think 2020 (or maybe 2021) will be poised to be a big year in terms of celebrity deaths.  Although we did lose a lot of celebrities this year, most of them aren't really too high profile, and were more second tier.  

    But we've got some big names down the pike that the Grim Reaper is anxious to claim their souls including Jimmy Carter, Prince Phillip, Alex Trebek, Larry King, Kirk Douglas, Olivia Newton-John, Sean Connery, and so forth.  I also think we will have a truly shocking death of a young celebrity, and not an "up and comer" type, but an A-lister celebrity who will likely die by either suicide or drug overdose (think Robin Williams or Philip Seymour Hoffman level).  I predict that we will see the death of one (or maybe even more) of the following in 2020 or 2021: Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears (she has been deteriorating mentally lately and sadly I think she could end up taking her own life or suffer a suicide by cop similar to Vanessa Marquez), Amanda Bynes, Demi Lovato (she will relapse and not survive this time around, she won't cheat death twice), Pete Davidson, Tekashi69, Lil' Wayne (or another high profile hip hop artist), and one or two big name celebrities connected to Jeffrey Epstein.  

    I also await Bill Cosby to croak.  He will die in disgrace like Joe Paterno.  

     

    What makes you think that the truly shocking death of a young celebrity will happen? What sort of person are you thinking of?

     

    You've already mentioned Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, was that what you were getting at?

    All of them by now

     

    Better get Katie Hopkins and Johnny Rotten on the phone for some watersports and wanking, not to mention some scat fetish stuff and worst of all Ryanair flights we're going to need to arrange

     

    Jimmy Carter has lived to see 2020 and Deathray must live to regret his words of wisdom from way back in 2015

    Civil rights leader and longtime US congressman John Lewis has just announced he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I think he's a big enough name, and unfortunately, unlikely to see 2021.

     

     

     

    And here was me thinking that Amazon was the biggest threat to our department stores
