She had long battled health problems but it was in the past week when the singer took a turn for the worst. She was getting celebrity visitors by her bedside and it seemed to be just a matter of time before the sad news would come. She was a force to be reckoned with in concert and will most certainly be missed. Anyone who had the chance to see her live got to see a legitmate angel. Our thoughts and prayers our with her family, friends, fans and loved ones during this very sad and difficult time. Rest well, sweet Queen.

Carrie Fisher, best known as Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" films, has died at the age of 60. She had suffered a heart attack last week and was originally listed in critical condition and then stable by her dog, brother and mother, icon Debbie Reynolds. It seemed like she would pull through but sadly, that would not be the case as Fisher passed away this morning.  Daughter Billie Lourd was the one who had the statement released about her mother's passing and is survived by Lourd and siblings Todd, Joely, and Tricia Leigh as well as mom, Debbie. They also have made mention of her bulldog, Gary. Right now, the world is struggling to understand why 2016 seems to be the year of the celebrity deaths and Fisher is someone we were all praying for extremely hard.

The former WHAM! front man turned soloist was found peacefully in his bed on Christmas morning by his partner of about four years. Though he was plagued by scandal, there is no denying that Michael made some of the best music that the eighties and nineties had ever seen, with some of the hottest supermodels of our time, nonetheless. The world was devastated when he announced that he was gay as he looked oh so sexy in his tight denim and leather jacket circa the "Faith" video. That particular song was covered by Limp Bizkit and opened up a whole new generation to Michael's brilliant sound.  He did duets with legends such as Elton John and Aretha Franklin , both who paid tribute to him on social media, along with millions of fans. He was one of the top tweets after he died and the world won't so...
