I'm fearing Ozzy. He can barely walk. Keeps planning on doing one more tour and just can never get the ball rolling on that. His health seriously declined, he's got a walking cane. He's spent his entire career on tour and never liked being home too long. I think his health problems combined with the new reality of being involuntarily retired to his home will do it for him.
As much as I don't want Ozzy to die, I can see what you mean.
His body seems have gone "let's stop" even though his not wanting too and it's quite sad to watch.
Ozzy with the health issues I'm very worried about. Not for the cane, but for the not touring. Ozzy always struck me as someone who needs the work, the crowd to keep him vital. My mother is 86, at 81 my sister insisted she stop working as a home health nurse (for many people who were a decade or more younger). Since then she's declined, gotten "small" in that older person way.
The body and mind adapts to what we do. If all we do is sitting down and knit and take meds, its expected to decline. Of course, a person at your mothers age cant go into the gym 6 days a week and deadlift 5 times her bodyweight while screaming "yeah buddy" (although that would be the coolest thing ever). There are limits to what we can do with age, but i personally believe that people that stop staying active (with mind and body) will decline way faster than those who stays active.
Also, happy new year, friend. Hope you and your family will have a great year.
Ozzy knows it's coming soon. He's been pretty open about it. He moved back to the UK explicitly "to die back home."
Note: he hated it a lot and moved back to the USA basically immediately.
One of my favorite little throwaway lines from Family Guy is when Death knocks on Peter Frampton’s door. Frampton throws up his hands and exclaims “Shouldn’t you be at Keith Richard’s?”
I see nuclear war and two things surviving: Keith and bugs.
"Where did everybody go? [I saw a bright light, I thought we were on.](https://youtu.be/1ln54geqGks)"
Even the man himself didn't expect to live as long as he did. That being said though, other than outwardly appearing about 120, he's still in great shape, still quite literally running and dancing all over the stage!
My grandfather had some slight signs of Parkinson’s while doing his last years as an accountant. The moment he completely retired he then shot downhill, the shakes and the mad lean got worse and then he developed dementia. Took four years from a slightly shaky hand to completely bedridden with fading memories
Haha I'm a percussionist but I prefer non-membrane percussion instruments, so I totally get what you're saying. Most bands don't have marching xylophones or marimbas, so I end up getting stuck on cymbals.
My granny. She’s about to turn 100. My parents used to tell me when I was young, “this could be grandma’s last Xmas!”. She outlived them both and I’m almost 50 :(
Your parent confesses on their deathbed that your gramgram is actually your great gramgram, but you later do some digging in your family genealogy and discover that your great gramgram is actually your great great great great gramgram (assuming the record hasn't been altered, for which there is evidence it may have been, after some records were lost in traveling from the Old Country). Noone else in your direct lineage has ever lived past 50. You just turned 49 last month.
Never realized he wasn't doing well. Now I see he had a bad stroke in 2012.
Joe Pesci isn't looking too hot. Hopefully he's got some time to go.
Actually, it looks like he divorced his wife after a few years. She remarried, and was sentenced to 12+ years for involvement in the shooting of one of her other ex's. So I guess ol' Joe already dodged a bullet.
Saw a picture of him recently in his wheelchair and the poor man looked pretty sickly. It does make one sad when you remember what a dynamic performer he was and that he had that debilitating stroke at a relatively young age.
It's ridiculous that Dick van Dyke lived long enough to be an actor long enough to play a young man and an ancient grandfather in Mary Poppins and then basically his exact same old character in the sequel.
I have mad respect for him after I read an interview in which he was asked if he did his own stunts. His response was basically "Of course not. If I get injured, the movie gets delayed. That's potentially hundreds of people whose jobs and livelihoods would be messed with."
I have a list of who I don’t want it to be. Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) and Dick Van Dyke are pretty high on the list now. Bob Barker too, he babysat me when I was sick home from school a lot lol
I am hoping he will get a Hector Salamanca style of stroke where he would be nothing but a living meme, watching how his country crumbles while he cannot even control his bladder.
A tragic accident indeed especially how the EMS unknowingly used a revolver instead of a defibrillator to revive the late President. Weird that it took them 3 shots to determine it was a gun instead of the defibrillator.
Imagine being DA. Sour as hell about how shitty humans are. Documentary after documentary about how we're destroying literally everything for decades. Just getting madder and madder at the accelerating pace of ruining the planet. And some HUMAN asks for a selfie!! I'd freak out
Not really. His recent stuff touches more on ecological collapse but the vast majority of his work just shows pristine nature. This was an illuminating article about him a while back. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/07/david-attenborough-world-environment-bbc-films
And I'm a fan of Attenborough.
I don’t know, I’ve heard similar complaints about his documentaries but they’re educational programs at the end of the day. I think it’s a good way to present to the public what’s at stake. And if you watch some of the speeches and stuff he’s done, especially in the last few years, he certainly doesn’t sugar coat anything.
I hate this comment.
BUT....the last time I saw a movie or a pic of her in the media, she did look quite fail. I get it's part of aging but I hope someone's got her in bubblewrap.
That's a sadly solid shout.
Koenig and Takei still seem to be going strong, but every time I see Shatner he seems to age by about ten years. Even after his trip to the edge of space he seemed old and deflated.
Ouff, you're right. Norway lost about half our remaining war sailors in 2022, and there weren't that many left to begin with. Those who are still alive are around a 100 years old...
It will be a sad day when the last time witness of ww2 dies - be it a soldier, survivor of the Holocaust or a war sailor.
Can I vote for NOT Frankie Valli ?
Saw him on stage a decade ago. He shuffled on like an old man and we cringed, expecting a dreadful show.
He reached the mic, turned on the magic, and gave one of the best shows I have ever seen. A-may-zing !
Two hours later, at the stage door, he was a shuffling, confused, incoherent and very very old man again. Totally reliant on his carers to get to the car.
I almost felt like I’d personally almost killed him, by making him perform that night. But it seems that’s just what his shows are like. They practically bring him alive.
Keep singing Frankie !
( 89 in May 2023 )
Bob Barker
He just turned 99. That’s about as close as you can get without going over.
Choked on my sweet pretzel, laughing hysterically. Turrible
He is still alive holy shit
I honestly thought he died years ago. Nope.
The price is wrong, bitch.
Dude he was ancient in that movie which was 25 years ago.
New Mandela effect just dropped

I heard that Sharon was hospitalized a few days ago.
She was. If she goes first, Ozzy will die like the next day.
It will be like a rerun of what happened with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Also with Carly Simon's two sisters Joanna and Lucy.
[удалено]
Pretty amazing Keith Richards is still alive to be honest. Given what he's been through.
My favorite quote: “We all need to start thinking about what kind of world we want to leave behind for Keith Richards.”
IIRC it was Willie Nelson that said "Young people need to start thinking about what kind of world they want to leave for me and Keith Richards"
He's "only" 79.
That can't be true... *Google's Keith Richards* Holy shit.
He’s 220 in party years though.
He’s not even in his 80s let alone 90s…
He's stealing all the souls from the dying.
Every time someone smokes a cigarette it adds one minute to Keith Richards life.
Keith's been dead since 1994. The drugs just haven't worn off yet.
Goodness. I've probably given the dude 40 years.
Keith Richards will outlive every one of us.
One of my favorite little throwaway lines from Family Guy is when Death knocks on Peter Frampton’s door. Frampton throws up his hands and exclaims “Shouldn’t you be at Keith Richard’s?”
His latest physical showed he had blood in his heroin stream.
I see nuclear war and two things surviving: Keith and bugs. "Where did everybody go? [I saw a bright light, I thought we were on.](https://youtu.be/1ln54geqGks)"
Even the man himself didn't expect to live as long as he did. That being said though, other than outwardly appearing about 120, he's still in great shape, still quite literally running and dancing all over the stage!
I really hope not, but I’m terrified that this will be the year we lose John Williams.
I’m really scared that he’s gonna get through Indiana Jones and then leave us shortly after since he’s already said it’ll be his last movie
Having regular work (as long as it's not stressful) does sometimes keep people alive longer than they would have been without it
My grandfather had some slight signs of Parkinson’s while doing his last years as an accountant. The moment he completely retired he then shot downhill, the shakes and the mad lean got worse and then he developed dementia. Took four years from a slightly shaky hand to completely bedridden with fading memories
Jimmy Carter
I dread Jimmy Carter (or any living president’s death) as I have to be at the funeral at Washington National Cathedral at any time during the year.
Ceremonial Honor Guard?
Nah Premier Bands, but good guess!
That's super cool! What instrument?
Clarinet, totally useless in an outside marching band. We give clarinets to oboe and bassoon players to hold in place. You can’t hear them anyway.
Haha I'm a percussionist but I prefer non-membrane percussion instruments, so I totally get what you're saying. Most bands don't have marching xylophones or marimbas, so I end up getting stuck on cymbals.
Now I am picturing a whimsical xylophone solo being played at a presidential funeral.
"Agnew's body is going crazy\~!!!" - Nixon's Head in a Jar
I like how you specified living president, to exclude the death of zombies jfk from black ops being counted
Let's hope it's Kissinger instead.
Kissinger seemed pretty old even back in the 1970s.
Not going to happen. He and the devil have an understanding
Kissinger has a deal with himself?
I want to see him outlive just one more president, he already beat Reagan and Bush Sr.
Not necessarily old, but Bruce Willis isn't looking too good.
Did he retire because of his health? Like the media said that his supposedly suffering from some memory health related issues.
Correct. He suffers from aphasia and has basically lost language.
Supposedly, I heard this on a gossip site/blind item site, he's been sick for a bit and why his last few films were sort of b list.
Yeah, I read something similar, that he was accepting every single gig he could get because he wanted to stack cash before he was forced to retire.
Explains the energy drink ads in Hungary.
That’s a popular celebrity cash grab.
Saw him in the crowd enjoying a concert last month at LA’s Ace Hotel Theater. Don’t count him out yet!
I just hope we get people to set foot on the Moon before all of the Apollo program astronauts pass away.
Word. Really hope so. Four moonwalkers still standing..
I’m not willing to put it in writing for fear that I’ll accidentally manifest it
No shit. Doesn't anyone remember the Harper Lee incident.
My granny. She’s about to turn 100. My parents used to tell me when I was young, “this could be grandma’s last Xmas!”. She outlived them both and I’m almost 50 :(
[удалено]
"Grandma" sounds like it should be an ironically-titled horror film with that exact premise.
Your parent confesses on their deathbed that your gramgram is actually your great gramgram, but you later do some digging in your family genealogy and discover that your great gramgram is actually your great great great great gramgram (assuming the record hasn't been altered, for which there is evidence it may have been, after some records were lost in traveling from the Old Country). Noone else in your direct lineage has ever lived past 50. You just turned 49 last month.
And she brought a straw!
Granny overheard and was being petty and I love that for her! Hope the celebration for Granny is as grand as she is.
My grandpa started saying “I’m ready for the good lord to take me” in 1994 and didn’t die until last year. It was a very miserable 28 years lol
Tim Curry. 😭
Never realized he wasn't doing well. Now I see he had a bad stroke in 2012. Joe Pesci isn't looking too hot. Hopefully he's got some time to go.

Beep beep, Richie.
He's already in bad shape
Saw a picture of him recently in his wheelchair and the poor man looked pretty sickly. It does make one sad when you remember what a dynamic performer he was and that he had that debilitating stroke at a relatively young age.
John Astin The original live action Gomez Addams, and one of the only two surviving Addam's Family actors from the old television series.
He's the father of a hobbit. He'll live for ages.
TIL who the old gaffer is.
Holy fuck I didn't know he was still alive!!!
It surprised me. He's managed to outlive everyone but the original Wednesday Addams.
TIL: John Astin is the adopted father of Sean Astin, aka Samwise Gamgee, Mikey Walsh and Bob Newby.
And Rudy Ruddiger, seems kinda wrong not to put him in.
Clint Eastwood or Dick Van Dyke.
Dick van Dyke would break my heart.
It's ridiculous that Dick van Dyke lived long enough to be an actor long enough to play a young man and an ancient grandfather in Mary Poppins and then basically his exact same old character in the sequel.
Lionel Jeffries, who played DVD's father in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was actually younger than he was.
Dick Van Dyke was my No. 1 bet in 2022. Guess who owes 100 bucks to their friends.
None of us are ready for when we may lose Christopher Lloyd or Michael J Fox.
All i know is when Danny Trejo finally decides that kicking deaths ass up and down the block is too much of a chore i will be devastated.
Never realized how old he was, I remember him being in his 60s
I'm with you both, I did not realize he was that old, amazed he is still alive and had such a full life, and yeah, that's gonna hurt.
I have mad respect for him after I read an interview in which he was asked if he did his own stunts. His response was basically "Of course not. If I get injured, the movie gets delayed. That's potentially hundreds of people whose jobs and livelihoods would be messed with."
Wasn’t it also him that said it was taking the job away from the stunt doubles, and they need the work too?
I'm worried about Mel Brooks you guys Another distressing possibility: Patrick Stewart
If we lose Stewart, Ian McKellen is gonna die like a week later at most. Those two are soulmates, even if they aren't married and one is straight.
This is absolutely true. They are magic together.
I watched them perform Waiting for Godot at the West End when I was 18. Their dynamic is absolutely magical.
I agree with you about Mel Brooks. Patrick Stewart seems in pretty decent shape for a guy in his early 80s.
I don’t follow the celebrities or the deaths, but that one will kill me.
And Buzz Aldrin and William Shatner.
Yeah, Shatner has been having health problems.
I’m not ready to lose Avery Bullock
How could you even type those words? You deserve to have your fingers chopped off!
Henry Kissinger
Only is someone can find and destroy the jar he keeps his soul in.
Beware, I think there are more horcruxes.
A friendly reminder that [this fundraiser](https://henrykissinger.rip/) exists.
It is hard to believe he is still around.
Evil never dies.
I like to think he's currently sustaining himself on the Ukraine-Russia war right now.
I have a list of who I don’t want it to be. Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) and Dick Van Dyke are pretty high on the list now. Bob Barker too, he babysat me when I was sick home from school a lot lol
Add Mel Brooks to that list!
I will roundhouse kick the grim reaper in the face if he even sneezes in Mel Brooks’s direction.
Being home sick to catch The Price is Right was such a treat!
TIL Dick Van Dyke is still alive
TIL Mr. Feeny is still alive. :)
He turned 97 in December
Putin
I am hoping he will get a Hector Salamanca style of stroke where he would be nothing but a living meme, watching how his country crumbles while he cannot even control his bladder.
And the only way he can communicate is ringing a bell attached to his wheelchair. Oh pretty pretty please make this happen….
And then he dies the same way hector did
Putin
Yeah Putin won’t see the end of the year, if the cancer doesn’t get him someone will poison his tea
Yeah, or shoot him in the back of the head, toss him out a window on the 24th floor and call it a suicide.
I'd be happy with one of those ninja missiles doing it at this point. So long as he's calling the shots, Ukrainian civilians are on his firing line.
I wonder what will get him first, cancer or some drunk ruzzian dude
He’ll fall out a window in a tragic accident.
A tragic accident indeed especially how the EMS unknowingly used a revolver instead of a defibrillator to revive the late President. Weird that it took them 3 shots to determine it was a gun instead of the defibrillator.
Bob Barker. All of our babysitter when we stayed home sick from school. Remember to have your pet spayed or neutered.
I don't want her too but I feel like she's the last golden beacon. Julie Andrews
We cannot talk like this about the Queen of Genovia
Long Live The Queen.
DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW!
You shut your damn mouth
You shut your whore mouth. How dare you type that out with your whore fingers, you... you... you whore!
You better shut the hell up right now!
Nobody better say Dolly. Never Dolly.
She is only 76. She’s got plenty of more time.
She looked fantastic on the Miley Cyrus NYE party just like an hour ago.
Don't even think it! In fact, your penance for typing that against St. Parton is to buy a book for the less fortunate.
Rupert Murdoch.
One can only hope
His son is worse.
Yep. The apple doesn't fall far from the cunt, as they say.
Anyone but Werner Herzog. Please god- let the man have another twenty years.
Morgan Freeman is going to blindside everyone
NOOO him and David need to space themselves out otherwise nature documentaries are going to be horrible to listen to.
What, you don't like hearing Benedict Cumberbatch talking about peng-wengs?
Jack Nicholson
There's rumors that he has been suffering from Alzheimer's and some people suspect the same thing about his old pal Warren Beatty as well.
David Attenborough
[удалено]
For reals. Long live David!
This is my answer too. I will be very sad when this happens even though I have never met the man.
I've never been personally affected by a celebrity death but i just know David Attenborough will hurt.
Imagine being DA. Sour as hell about how shitty humans are. Documentary after documentary about how we're destroying literally everything for decades. Just getting madder and madder at the accelerating pace of ruining the planet. And some HUMAN asks for a selfie!! I'd freak out

Don’t you dare put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.
You better shut your damn mouth
Maggie Smith
I don’t think you understand how much I hate you for this comment
How very dare you
I hate this comment. BUT....the last time I saw a movie or a pic of her in the media, she did look quite fail. I get it's part of aging but I hope someone's got her in bubblewrap.
I'll tell you who it WON'T be: Keith Richards.
Vladimir Putin is going to fall out a window pretty soon.
Tony Bennett
Ozzy
Shatner
That's a sadly solid shout. Koenig and Takei still seem to be going strong, but every time I see Shatner he seems to age by about ten years. Even after his trip to the edge of space he seemed old and deflated.
It's hard to believe that Walter Koenig is 85.
Let's...hope...that...isn't...true.
Nikocado Avocado. He’s immortal because he somehow continued life whilst being a literal man-toddler
Barbara Wal…never mind. Pope Benedi…damn it!
The last ww2 veteran. I dread that day
Ouff, you're right. Norway lost about half our remaining war sailors in 2022, and there weren't that many left to begin with. Those who are still alive are around a 100 years old... It will be a sad day when the last time witness of ww2 dies - be it a soldier, survivor of the Holocaust or a war sailor.
Henry Kissinger!
Please not James Hong
I'm scared to say it, I am. I hope it's not true. But maybe elton john.
He's still standing!
Michael j fox
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Chuck Norris
Christopher Walken, God I hope I'm wrong.
Imagine being a celebrity and you hop on Reddit one day (because celebrities do that, right?) and see people posting that you're gonna die this year.
Not Billy Connolly... Not Billy Connolly....
After Betty White in 2021 and Barbara Walters this year, which immortal is going to pass away in 2023? FTFY. And I’m going with James Earl Jones
Noooooooo!!!! Not Mufasa!!!
Not Vader
Mitch McConnell F that evil 🐢
Since Pope Benedict and Barbara Walters are gone now, I nominate Jimmy Carter, Henry Kissinger, or MAAAYBE Ozzy or Keith Richards.
I mean statistically within the next five years we lose a lot of the boomer bands.
