There have been so many celebrity deaths, lately?

It started first with Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett and then Patrick Swayze. And now more. I find this hard to believe. And it just doesn't seem right. 2009 seems like the worst year. I just read on yahoo news that two other celebrities died today. The first one was Stephen Gately and the other was some guy who was in a popular irish band. It's too sad. So, what about you. Have you noticed this?
