R.I.P. R.O.C.K.

I keep seeing articles like this one, alerting the world that the drummer from Traffic is dead. In the past month or so, I've read about the passing of Jefferson Airplane's drummer and a Bread guitarist.

Is this really newsworthy? What will be the future equivalent for these stories? When I'm 55 years old, sipping coffee, eating half a grapefruit, what headline will I see? Maroon 5 Keyboardist Dead of Stomach Cancer? Long Time Usher Producer Killed in Hoverboard Accident?
