Geez, with so many celebrity deaths this year, maybe I should start a separate category just to keep track!

It's such a shame seeing so many artists that I followed and listened to growing up are passing away, it's also very sobering. It seems being famous and having wealth doesn't guarantee a long and healthy life. People in the limelight either rise and fall quickly; then fade away, or turn to heavy drug use and end up overdosing, or in the case of Robin Gibb, develop a terminal illness like cancer and pass away before they reach 65.

Sad.
