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?

I think the death of anyone famous is memorable. When Elvis died in 1977 I was only 15 but was sad to think he would never perform in the UK.

When Pauline Collins died I was sad as she was the same age as my dear Mum and I loved her films.
