Do you have a favorite celebrity that will likely die in your lifetime?

Strange question, I know. But I’ve thought about this often, since I don’t keep up with modern entertainment. That is, most of my favorite celebrities (musicians, actors) are at least sixty years old by now. It’s pretty likely that they’ll die before me, as I’m only twenty (anything could happen, I know, but still).
I don’t think I can envision a world without Daryl Hall, Billy Joel, or Tom Selleck - for example. It’s not like I personally know them, but it’s still sad when someone you admire dies.
Again, strange question - I know. It just passes through my mind from time to time.

A lot of those whom I admired: Maya Angelou, Aretha Franklin, Leo McKern, Prince, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, are already gone. One celebrity I was once certain I’d mourn was Bill Cosby. But his reputation is so damaged, the man I thought he was obviously never existed. He might as well be dead—his good name forever is. 😞
