About every other day some ‘celebrity’ dies and as sad as that is for their friends and family (and to a lesser/weirder extent their fans) that is very sad… but you live you die that’s how it works and I am about as sad about their death as their friends/family/fans are about the death of me 👀😱🙃 But every now and again one gets me A real Queen RIP TT Proud Mary. Nuff said. 100 per cent true. A proper celebrity that the vast amount of the world knew about unlike many who are given that status and there will be more than me having to look up who they actually are. |

Yep similar, the vast majority i've either never heard of, or question whether the word 'celebrity' is justifiable, but have to admit that when the news flashed up on my phone yesterday i actually said out loud 'oh no' |

Imagine the party upstairs now with Bowie, George Michael, Whitney.....all massive losses to the music industry and life in general. RIP Tina. |

Blazed the trail for Donald and Boris. Wouldn’t put it past him to only be declared dead for tax reasons, or something… |

I would say Berlesconi, Trump and Johnson are celebrities first and foremost |

It’s easy to mock Berlusconi - some of it with good reason - but he made AC Milan a European super-power in the football world, and in the political field, was hugely popular in some of Italy’s less-affluent regions; my Sicilian friends voted for him every time.

There is always a turkey willing to vote for Christmas. |
