This week alone, beloved British comedian Victoria Wood and eccentric Pop Icon Prince have left this mortal coil.

| The Artist Formerly (when alive) known as Prince |
Newcastle Housewife, Liz Spencer, had this to say on the legendary Prince:
"I'd never heard any of his songs before today, but as soon as I heard he died I realised I was actually a huge fan of his. I know he spent most of the last 20 years developing deeper and more unpleasant views with regards to those with 'deviant' sexual preferences and strongly opposed same sex marriage, but my gay brother agrees we don't care about this because he probably sung some really good songs. I listened to the Cyndi Lauper version of When You Were Mine on Youtube once and think I quite liked it. Besides which he's dead now, so he must have been a good person."

| She can't do it |
American Sci-Fi fan, Brent Woodleson, opened his heart upon hearing of her passing:
"I'd never seen her in anything, heard her sing, or seen anything she'd written. But I knew she was responsible for the phrase 'ming-mong' becoming synonymous with 'Dr Who' fan. I know she said the phrase was in no-way derived from the frankly despicable slang term 'mong' which is a derogatory way to refer to the mentally handicapped, but frankly always thought she was full of shit and knew quite well what she was doing when she coined that phrase. Now she's dead, however, I realise she can't have been anything less than a complete Saint, and have ordered the DVD of Acorn Antiques: The Musical on Amazon."
The two aforementioned celebrities have been a long line in high profile deaths this year.

All round good guy and everyone's favourite androgynous singer David Bowie, also sadly passed earlier this year. Social media exploded, as thousands of users who had claimed to have never heard of him before suddenly declared he had been an instrumental figure in their personal development.

| David's Dead? |
At the time he passed, his long-divorced ex-wife Angela Bowie was participating in Celebrity Big Brother. Due to a misunderstanding, when she relayed the information to fellow housemates, some were misunderstood into thinking it was one of their own, eccentric music producer and all round odd-ball David Gest, that had passed. In a cruel twist of face he himself would pass on shortly after the series ended. He was quickly re-assessed by all from 'oddball closet case' to 'much loved tv personality'.

Embittered UKIP supporter, ultra conservative, 'keep England English', cruel, unpleasant, and self-confessed hebephile who admitted to grooming and seducing underage groupies in the 70s, Paul Daniels, was quickly re-assessed as a 'natural treasure' by tabloids and the general public alike when he succumbed to a brain tumour earlier this year.
A spokesperson for the Sun said: "Paul Daniels had a hugely succesful entertainment show several decades ago. He sympathised with Jimmy Saville because 'you didn't ask the girls their age when you were trying to get them to sit on your lap' but it was all a bit of cheeky fun. The British public know true talent when they see it, and The Sun are confident they will overlook Paul's minor disgressions and join us in celebrating the great man."

| WHY???!!!! |
In addition to the above, actor Alan Rickman, 89 year old novelist Harper Lee, 85 year old comedian Ronnie Corbett, and numerous others have died this year.
Experts have advised that old age, disease, and substance abuse have been a common cause of celebrity death this year, and that normal, non-famous, civilians are also susceptible to the above, and have ALSO been dying this year.
When will it end?
