This actually upset me. Bowie got me through a LOT of heavy shit when I was in Highschool.

My old iPod shuffle used to be nothing but David Bowie and stuff that sounds like Blaqk Audio. It was all I really clung to when I was homeless.

There's a Starman waiting in the sky.

They're all getting old, and cancer is difficult enough to fight when you're young. Its only going to be more deaths from hereon out.

It is peculiar that both of them just happened to be the same age...

Yea, and Lemmy Kilmister had just turned 70 4 days before he died. Now along with the 27 club, there's the 69 club.

Discussing this with friends.

Someone brought up the Rule of Three.

"Bowie was 69 and died of cancer. Rickman was 69 and died of cancer. Who's next?"
"Trump is 69. I wonder if he has cancer?"

In all seriousness, though, I've just been fucking torn up by this week.

People are starting to worry about Tim Curry.

British. Famous. Age 69.

He's also partially paralyzed after a recent stroke. So, you know. Tick tock.

WHAT THE FUCK

Brian Bedford dies at 80

I am glad that none of us are senior British celebrities.

... Right?

WHAT IS GOING OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN ;w;

I'm neither senior nor British. Immortality?????

But wait... the Queen is immortal, senior, and British.

if i wake up in the morning and the queen has passed, too, i'm going to be legitimately afraid

edit: i mean at least they are all "old", right? They had good lives, maybe just left a little earlier than expected.

if tomorrow's headline is something like "EMMA WATSON DEAD AT 25" or "DAVID TENNANT DEAD AT 44"
i will record myself actually crying and force you all to listen to it

Huh so that's how old those 2 are. Neat.
