While there's a large slice of truth in this, what with this being the age of people being famous for being famous (reality TV stars :rolleyes:), Prince was 58 and GM 53. Even Parfitt and Bowie were 68 and 69.

It seems to have been a bad year for those not so old.

Jagger, Richards, Macca, Ringo, Daltrey, Townsend etc....all going strong well into their 70s.

Dead in a plane crash, almost the entire Alexandrov Ensemble (Red Army Choir); other than the Bolshoi Ballet, the most iconic performing artists in Russia.

Oh :(. Sad, although he had a good innings. I loved Watership Down, but I think Plague Dogs marked me more.
