December 8, 20169 yr im sure thats all it is and its only gonna get worse have you heard x has died? no. and frankly i dont care
December 9, 20169 yr Fair point well made but seems to be a year for "musicians" this year. Maybe it's an age thing Its partly the fact many people who became famous via traditional media from the late 60's are reaching the end of their lives, but this year has seen a spike anyway in comparison to previous years - which hasn't really got anything to do with 2016 being a cliff edge for a generation - doesn't really work like that and look at the diversity of the age range. So next year might seem a lull, it might not, although the baby boomers are not going to stop dying. Edited December 9, 20169 yr by Not in Crawley
