Good point. I've found that the coverage of celebrity deaths on BBC news and Sky News have been far more minimal the past couple of years. Some big names barely get a mention. Maybe they tired of such stories after 2016. Barbara Bush was a prime example last year, she had a one minute segment then it cut back to brexit malarkey.

Just seen this on sky news. Rip Freddie

I don't think he'll see the Summer.

I think Cardin, Doris Day & The Duke will all join the hundred club in the next few years.

Just seen her trending and assumed something else

You can have zilch for months then have a week with three hits, comes and goes.

Maybe you should fire out some of those silver spheres to speed things up.

People that are newer to this are just comparing this year to the past 2 or 3 because of the rate of big hits. There's actually nothing unusual about 2019 and big names have gone like Keith Flint and Albert Finney, just that they didn't happen to appear on the list. I think it'll be a 2009 repeat with somebody of Michael Jackson level fame going in the summer accompanied by a host of less famous names but still newsworthy.

Jim Lovell & Frank Borman must not have been able to make it
