Full disclosure: This thread made me look up Christopher Lee because I was gonna say he's like almost 100.

I had NO idea he died in 2015! I mean, he was literally just in the latest Hobbit films.

Maggie Smith is 82?

She's looked 82 for 25 years.

Meh, people die every year.

You could have posted all of these photos for the year of 2016 too.

It will never be the correct celebrities. Like why can't the reaper go wild and start claiming some of these attention whores who are in the news every other day for pointless shite.

It's only going to get worse. This is because Pop Culture wasn't really a thing until the late 50s.

I was trying to explain this to a friend after Prince and Bowie died last year.

There are so many more old celebrities now than at any time in history. People think 2016 was bad but that's probably the new norm.

Your list didn't even include musicians:

Chuck Berry (90)
Mick Jagger (73)
Keith Richards (73)
Jimmy Page (73)
John Paul Jones (71)
Jeff Beck (72)
Eric Clapton (71)
George Clinton (75)
Bob Dylan (75)
Aretha Franklin (74)
Herbie Hancock (76)
Carole King (74)
Little Richard (84)
Willie Nelson (83)
Dolly Parton (71)
Smokey Robinson (76)
Tina Turner (77)
Neil Young (71)
Ringo Starr (76)
Paul McCartney (74)
Diana Ross (72)
Art Garfunkel (75)
Paul Simon (75)
Neil Diamond (75)
John Fogerty (71)
Roger Waters (73)
David Gilmour (70)
Al Green (70)
Pete Townsend (71)
Roger Daltrey (72)
David Crosby (75)
Van Morrison (71)
Robby Krieger (71)

There are a ton more and there are a lot of big names that barely miss the 70 year cutoff.

I looked up Willie Nelson wondering about his age. He's 83 and my web search revealed that he has recently cancelled some Vegas shows due to illness.

Doesn't Soros have some children that are groomed to pick up where he leaves off?

I would trade 1 of those celebrities lives, for 5 deaths of younger celebs...such as Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna, Joy Behar, etc

ETA Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham

So I guess now we are just assuming Keith Richards is actually a Highlander since he didn't even make the list. I mean there is no other logical explanation why he is alive.
