My Mrs claims that the Queen of England said there would be four more. I don't know where she read it but Mohammed Ali was next. Time will tell if she was right about another three.

Rip kimbo ..

Dang... I hadn't heard about Kimbo until just now.

I was just having the same discussion a few days ago. It certainly seems like there have been more this year, but I admittedly do not know the statistics.

Richard Simmons may well be next if we are going with recent MO's...

we live now in the era where hundreds of celebrities are generated every week now the last 25 years. Music alone produces hundreds of artists across all genres every year who may not make it the next year, but will always have that one hit that keeps their celeb status.

There are alot dying cuz there are many more now. And the list will keep on growing too.

That is true...

All one really needs to do is get on the Youtube these days to become famous...

The rapture is in progress.

Isn't this that dope that started off street fighting in back yards, played on liveleak and that sort of thing, back in the day, unprofessional fights, punching people so hard they are knocked out? No medical supervision?

I couldn't care less about him... and nah, celebs these days are not celebs. Talent is not simply punching someone harder or being the most arrogant teeny bopper on the planet or how often you don't wear knickers.

I'm a celeb in cod4 on sri lanken servers. I want my accolades

all I get is called names...

Celebs are like the grains of sand, they all spend time on the beach, but a few get dragged out to sea with each lapping of the waves.

There will be more "celebs", sadly I feel the current trend of no-talent celebs will continue for some time tho..

But yes, OP, they are dropping like flies.. Sadly, it's a lot of talented old ones, leaving us in the clutches of the talent-less, over-opinionated, and egocentric narcissistic attention seekers.

What people fail to see, or care to over-look.. These people are... no more special then anyone else, and often times have even bigger problems then the common-man does in his day to day. The only advantage they appear to have is lots of money to get in a lot more trouble, and make the entertainment news for some open-mouth, insert foot moment.

I'm glad I'm not famous, I rather like being an unknown mystery. The annals of time need not have records of me, and my deeds. IF they mattered, the proper people will remember, and that is all that matters.

It is not just you.



It is also Prince.

i reckon Bruce Forsyth will be next

Call me when Cthulhu gets Kim Kardashian. Then we have a party.

Roughly 55 million people die every year and over 100k die everyday.

Why is it weird again that celebrities are dying this year , just like the remainder of those 55 million people?

Don't be daft. Bruce is older than Mumm Ra. Him and Max Von Sydow are officially living forever.

Only 27... tragic

Bad year i tell ya...
