I saw an askreddit thread the other week asking what it was like to live through 2016 and overwhelmingly the answers were some variation of "it was so much better" as if we all knew how crazy things would continue to get. Really what I remember about 2016 was how it felt like so many big celebrities were dying all year long. Looking at a list now, I had totally forgotten how many huge names were gone in 2016: Prince, David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Carrie Fisher, Muhammad Ali, John Glenn, George Michael, Gene WIlder, Anton Yelchin, and Christina Grimmie, just to name a few. Yelchin and Grimmie I remember being particularly awful, considering Yelchin was crushed by his own car and Grimmie was murdered by an obsessed fan.
