A lot of artists and celebrities die young. Which ones would you like to still see alive and doing their thing?

For me, there are two. Layne Staley and Mitch Hedberg.

Dave Chappelle

this.

and to the OP not saying that I wish death upon anyone, but some celebrities were immortalized through death. I seriously doubt Nirvana would as popular today if Cobain hadn't died. Essentially the JFK theory

^^^Can you imagine how much better Grown Ups (the movie with SNL alums David Spade, Chris Rock, Sandler, and Rob Schnider) would have been if the fat friend would have been Farley and not Kevin James.

MJ, Lennon and Biggie are three that pop up in my mind.

Pac would have been a strong voice in today's world.. go pre-deathrow, before the immaturity that exists within that world.. Would have been great to see him grow up with a focused message..
