Now George Michael dies (Wham).

Are we more aware of death ... or is 2016 really shaping up to be the year of the Grim Reaper?

I think it's having such an impact because these are mostly people we grew up with - and some of us are getting on as well.

Just heard that Leonard Cohen has died.  Not sure if this is the case as not in the current headlines.
