Re: 2018 deaths
I read something earlier that said it was heroin she was taking, but that did not cause the overdose. The drug to get her off heroin did. lol. That's the problem with addicts. They are addicts, and they get addicted to stuff whether it's heroin or drugs given to them to get hem off bad drugs. Too much of any drug is bad, so they are doomed.

Re: 2018 deaths
Imagine for a second she had died, where would it have ranked on the scale of shocking celebrity deaths? I am not really too sure how big she is. She has only really risen to prominence since I've been in China and we're kind of closed off here to western pop music. Would it have been as shocking as Michael Jackson or Heath Ledger, or more in line with Tupac and Chris Cornell?

Re: 2018 deaths
No it would not have been on the same level as MJ or Prince. Don't be cute.
I'd say a Heath Ledger and his only became more prominent since he ended up getting nominated and winning an Oscar. I'd say she would have been Brad Renfro level.

Re: 2018 deaths
The most shocking of this decade for sure. Most of the other surprise deaths/suicides were at least by people over 50. Demi, at 25 and one of the biggest pop stars in the world, is more akin to Heath Ledger and even Kurt Cobain before.
Also, suboxone (the withdrawal drug) is used for all opioid addictions. I’m still going with pills.

Re: 2018 deaths
Yeah, it would be pretty shocking, mainly due to age. But also because she's still relevant.

Two wrestlers died. Nikola Volkoff was 70. Grandmaster Sexay, who is also Jerry Lawlers son, killed himself in jail at 46.

Is it bad that my first instinct was to come here after I saw Smashing Pumpkins trending on Apple Music?

FAREWELL Aretha Franklin 1942-2018
She had an amazing voice. She will be on my playlist today.

John McCain might croak soon as he's given up treatment of his cancer.

RIP John McCain, he was a great man, even when I disagreed with him, I always respected him. We need more Republicans like him right now.

Re: 2018 deaths
A big one... Burt Reynolds (82)
I didn't realize he was up there. I would have guessed mid 70s. I thought he had a role left in him

Re: 2018 deaths
RIP Burt Reynolds. Sad also to hear that he didn't get to film his scenes in QT's next film. They were scheduled to shoot in late September.
