eh.... it is because our definition of "who is a celebrity" is expanding.

As sad as Grimmie's death was, 10 years ago she is not a "celebrity death".

You have to weed out the "kinda celebs" and the ones that died really old and of natural causes.

So of the true celebrities (the ones that everyone knows about).

Also age matters in this, most were very old and died of natural causes or from a terminal sickness.

The ones that died young, were actually known by most people, and the circumstances were unexpected. For instance IMO Carrie Fisher fits all 3, where as he mother Debbie Reynolds only fits 2 (she was 84, but it was unexpected and she is still very well known, especially to people over 40).

Prince definitely

Ali? Not really he has had a terminal disease since I was a kid.

Bowie was unexpected but only because he hid the fact he was sick. He was also 70.

Anyways I don't get caught up in the celebrity deaths thing.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.
