By the way, for the sake of clarity, I was a child. I wasn't in my thirties and having a game of 'pocket billiards' in a cinema.

Or Ozzy? How it is that a number of the celebrity passings of late MIGHT be rooted to earlier/ recent times of substance abuse e.g. Bowie: Michael & Fisher.

Absolutely astonishing.

That is what I thought when I saw that she made it to the Graham Norton studio.

She looked extinguished on the show.

Really quite sad.

Carrie Fisher certainly looked ill given recent TV interviews e.g. Graham Norton & Last Word. Just so sad that clearly departed though talented individuals such as Fisher and Michael clearly had inner demons that arguably won the day given the deep well of talent yet to be tapped into.

"She wanted so to be tranquil, to be someone who took walks in the late-afternoon sun, listening to the birds and crickets and feeling the whole world breathe. Instead, she lived in her head like a madwoman locked in a tower, hearing the wind howling through her hair and waiting for someone to come and rescue her from feeling things so deeply that her bones burned. She had plenty of evidence that she had a good life. She just couldn’t feel the life she had. It was as though she had cancer of the perspective.”

When these people were born the amount of superstars known to the average person would have been about forty and only known through papers and magazines, in the early 1950s about 350,000 households had a television set so it's not hard to work out why, it is going to get worse especially with Simon Cowell giving us more and more of them, I expect next year to be worse and so on from now, simply because of the numbers of them.
