I’m doing Celebrity and Stardom as an elective next year. I hope I get to write a very long essay about celebrity deaths :) It’s a hobby of mine.

On March 31, 2015, Mitchell was found unconscious in her Los Angeles home. She regained consciousness in an ambulance on her way to hospital, but was taken to intensive care for tests. Since then, there have been conflicting reports about her condition. On April 28, 2015, an official statement was made through JoniMitchell.com:
Contrary to rumors circulating on the Internet today, Joni is not in a coma. Joni is still in the hospital – but she comprehends, she’s alert, and she has her full senses. A full recovery is expected. The document obtained by a certain media outlet simply gives her longtime friend Leslie Morris the authority – in the absence of 24-hour doctor care – to make care decisions for Joni once she leaves the hospital. As we all know, Joni is a strong-willed woman and is nowhere near giving up the fight. Please continue to keep Joni in your thoughts.
Her longtime friend Leslie Morris invited get-well wishes at a website called “We Love You, Joni!” In early May, Mitchell’s lawyer released a statement during a court hearing concerning a request for conservatorship from Morris, stating that Mitchell would soon be released from the hospital and returning home; but that did not immediately occur.
On May 29, 2015, it was confirmed that Mitchell had suffered a brain aneurysm and that while speech was difficult, she had been communicating with others. As of May 2015 Mitchell was expected to be moved to a rehabilitation facility, as her condition was still considered to be “very serious”. About a month later close friend David Crosby said “nobody found her for a while” and “to my knowledge, she is not speaking yet.” However, Mitchell’s conservator, Leslie Morris, later released a statement saying that “details that have emerged in the past few days are mostly speculative. The truth is that Joni is speaking, and she’s speaking well. She is not walking yet…”
In July 2015, Mitchell was back at home, undergoing physical therapy and “making progress”, according to her lawyer Rebecca J. Thyne. In October 2015, Mitchell’s friend, singer Judy Collins, reported that she was taking part in rehabilitation every day and was walking, talking and painting.

Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt dead at 68 in Spain after suffering severe infection ‘he caught IN hospital’
He died at lunchtime today, his family added in the statement.
Despite Rick’s extensive health problems – including him needing a quadruple heart bypass 20 years ago in 1997 – he was planning a long-awaited solo album and autobiography next year.
However, after suffering a serious heart attack on stage this summer, he announced in October that he would no longer be performing with the rest of the Quo.
In a statement issued today, the band said: “We are truly devastated to have to announce that Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt has passed away at lunchtime today.
“He died in hospital in Marbella, Spain, as a result of a severe infection, having been admitted to hospital on Thursday evening following complications to a shoulder injury incurred by a previous fall.

With the baby boomer generation getting to that age, I think the next few years will rival 2016 for shock deaths and losses of many great talents.

ALF actor Mihaly “Michu” Meszaros died Monday at the age of 76. I think that’s still 2016.
He died in June.

Except for the Christmas episode. Hooly, that was a tough one. It featured a dying girl who met ALF. I last watched it while pregnant so the hormones kicked in and made me bawl for a good hour!

I was listening to the wireless yesterday and they had experts discussing the deaths of celebrity people in 2016.
One expert was waxing about Prince and how influential he was in his life.
The expert said that sometimes when life was challenging he’d stop and think ‘What would Prince do’ and then a great calmness would descend upon him.
I think there’s something in that for all of us.
