So 2016 has been a bit of a shitter for celebs, with some very famous individuals falling into the eternal abyss of death.

The "highlights" so far:

David Bowie
Alan Rickman
Paul Daniels
Ronnie Corbett
Victoria Wood
Sir Terry Wogan
David Gest
Frank Kelly (Father Jack)
Doris Roberts
Chyna
Erik Bauersfeld (ADMIRAL strawberry floating ACKBAR!)
Garry Shandling
Tony Burton (Rocky's trainer)
Dave Mirra
Denise Robertson
Guy Hamilton
Morag Siller (who?)
PRINCE FFS
~~Percy Sledge~~ he's long dead, the cheater.
Glenn Frey
Caroline Aherne
Kenny Baker
Gene Wlider
Pete Burns
Leonard Cohen
Robert Vaughan
Andrew Sachs
John Glenn
Peter Vaughan
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Rick Parfitt
George Michael

Liz Smith
Carrie Fisher

Who's next on the Grim Reaper's list? When will the death gods be satisfied?

So many of them have been unexpected and so I think the next one will be completely unpredictable. I am therefore going for Prince Harry.

I think Denise Robertson deserves a mention there.

Bruce Forsyth is on borrowed time, surely.

I'll update the list as they perish.

He eats the souls of dancing children and so will last at least another two centuries.

Perfect poster rank / avatar / thread topic combo.

Massive damage.

Yep, I think this one is very likely this year.

More importantly: How in the name of Holy Heaven are all the Rolling Stones still alive? :shock:

Someone must be calling in Bernie Eclestone to the pits for a retirement soon. I would say the Queen and Prince Philip, but we all know that Buckingham Palace has hospital facilities with a farm of children providing regular blood transfusions. :shifty:

Clean living, mainly. Was going to suggest one of them or one of the surviving Beatles.

David Attenborough - He's 89

All alive except for Brian Jones you mean?

Don't ever say that.

I never said I was a Rolling Stones fan! :lol:

I forgot about that one. And Death's Head: Yes, I worry about McCartney (Ringo, not so much). We all know it's coming (Macca's 73), and I can't really bear to think about when it finally happens.

I thought McCartney died years ago and the current bloke is just an imposter?

Hugh Hefner turned 90 recently (maybe even today), which just goes to show you that the secret to eternal life is to constantly wear a smoking jacket in the company of glamour models.

Brian Jones says otherwise.

Edit: just saw Moggy's post

You might be on to something: there's a guy works down the chipshop, swears he's Elvis...
