Celebrity deaths have been permeating the news in the last week. It’s scary how in less than 4 months into 2016 we have lost well over 50 notable entertainers, athletes, writers and others who have touched the world with their talents.

While they can’t all be chronicled here I have compiled a list of 27 of the most well known entertainers and notables that we have lost so far in 2016.

Among those we have lost are

Actors/Actresses

George Gaynes ( 98 yrs old)

Tony Burton – (78 yrs old)

Kimberly Tripp (32 yrs old)

David Gest (62 yrs old)

Patty Duke (69 yrs old)

Gary Shandling (66 yrs old)

Ken Howard ( 71 yrs old)

Doris Roberts (90 yrs old)

Big Ang (55 yrs old)

Abe Vigoda 94 yrs old)

Chyna April ( 46 yrs old)

Daisy Lewellyn (36 yrs old)

Musicians

Natalie Cole (65 yrs old)

Nicholas Caldwell, ( The Whispers 71 yrs old)

Frank Sinatra Jr ( 72 yrs old)

David Bowie, ( 69 yrs old)

Sir George Martin ( 90 yrs old)

Prince (57 yrs old)

Vanity (57 yrs old)

Maurice White ( 74 yrs old)

Merle Haggard ( 79 yrs old)

Phife Dawg ( 45 yrs old)

Athletes

Will Smith (34 yrs old)

Dave Mira (41 yrs old)

Tray Walker (23 yrs old)

Other Notables

Harper Lee (89 yrs old)

Nancy Reagan ( 94 yrs old)

Some of these deaths came as a total shock to fans like Dave Mira’s suicide, Prince’s sudden death and the death of former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith, who was gunned down earlier this month. The death of Harper Lee came less than a year after the author had finally released the long awaited follow up to the classic “To Kill A Mockingbird.”

It’s only been three and a half months into the new year and the amount of stars that have already dimmed this year is staggering. One can only hope that there is a steady decline in the loss of our icons and legends as the year continues.
