    Depends what you consider a celebrity. The singer from Linkin Park, Chester Bennington, died a few weeks ago but I wouldn't be able to pick him out in a line up. Some of my mates were upset though. All depends.

    It's a little like your local area. They can be loads of deaths over a few weeks and then it can go a good bit before another one!

    That was a tough one.

    Obviously a mark of tabloidism, society,

    our relationship/ reverence for 'celebrity'

    Bread and circuses!

    do you mean how many celebrities died in 2017?

    did Putin have anything to do with it, or maybe the Kuwaitis.

    Oh no. I loved him. The Nutty Professor is amazing he was the first of that kind of contortionist comic. RIP.

    The carnage of early 2016 was probably an outlier, but there will be more celebrity deaths as the years go on, compared to the past. Partly explained in this BBC Radio 4 programme. First item on the podcast.
