We have lost far too many good celebrities in 2017. While there have been plenty of positive celeb stories this year, there have also been a number of celebrity deaths, many of which came far too soon. Some of the biggest stories of 2017 were the deaths of Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell.
Believe it or not, suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States, and in 2017, 47,173 Americans died by suicide, and a whopping 1.4 million people attempted suicide.
While these Hollywood stars are no longer here on Earth with us, their contributions to the music and entertainment industry will certainly never be overlooked. We indeed will always have a special place in our hearts for these rock stars and performers.
