Watching Your Heroes Die

I read about Anthony Head and Eric Faulkner dying over the last couple of days. I’m 62, so all the singers/actors/celebrities I watched when I was younger are dying off now. I find it so upsetting but it struck me that everyone goes through this. It’s so hard realising that I am following all my favourite singers and actors etc waiting for the next one to die. It makes me hyper aware of my own mortality. Anyone else?

Oh yes, so many have gone, the band members/singers, the actors, the TV presenters, and am sometimes caught off guard believing so-and-so had already died. Is hard to keep track, and of course in my minds eye I see them as their younger selves.
I believe Frankie Valli is still alive, have started counting those still with us, it feels more uplifting.
