Bob Newhart, 94

Wow I'm surprised he was still even alive.

Man he was great. He was pin point, even into his 80’s on BBT late late in his career.

RIP

Man, I've been dreading Newhart going for years. RIP to one of the GOATs.

Some of these haven’t been updated but this list is pretty interesting

No clue many of these were still alive and how is William Shatner 93???

Texas, actually.

Give it a few weeks and you can add the Cleveland Guardians to this list. Their offense is already DOA.

Ben Gay 44

Car accident on July 29

Chi Chi Rodriguez 88

Kevin Sullivan, 74. One of the best villains in pro wrestling history. Urban legends about him being satanic and responsible for the death of Chris Benoit, his wife and child.

If memory serves from when I was younger, I think the satanic part came from his Florida territory character where he played sort of a Manson-like cult leader.

Didn’t they have a concert in a bar where it caught fire and a lot of people died ?

To answer your question, yes they did have the fire at the nightclub.  My understanding is that it haunted him for the rest of his life. Also had numerous hits.

That would be beyond life changing.

They had one song ever make it inside the top 25.

LOL...ok Kasey Kasem, since we're doing this, they had 6 top 100 songs on the Billboard charts 9 top 200 Billboard albums, and 2 platinum albums. 

For those who were/are fans of the genre, "hits" don't have to mean top 25 or 40. Could just mean very popular songs.

Does that mean that Pearl Jam and their 4 top 25 singles (zero number 1s) are just barely better than Great White and on par with Warrant and their 4 top 25s? Billboard singles charts do not equate to greatness.
