At least two didn't survive the YEAR.  

Okay, I'm ready...  "Dead" is pronounced "day'd"

Cool, there's hope for us old folks!  The living ones are older!

Apparently, Ringo Starr became a bi-plane pilot, John Lennon became a rabbi, George Harrison became became Christian Bale, and Paul McCartney became a Bay City Roller.

It never ceases to amaze me that Iggy Pop, Ozzy, and Keith Richards are still kicking!

[The Burgomaster]

What freaks me out the most is it says "approaching 30," then the first picture shows "Johnny Cash 37".

[Archivist]

Wow, great find. It's is indeed disturbing to see how many didn't survive for much longer.

i wonder why they thought this group of guys and gals wouldn't survive the 70's ? most of them actually did of the ones that i'm aware 5 of them i think i counted are now gone but that's going by today's count not if they made it past the 70's. and you guys are right it is disturbing as hell

I'd put it down to some journalist coming up with a dramatic headline to sell more copies.

[316zombie]

or clickbait.

[pennywise37]

that's true but the sad thing is this article ending up being right on at least some of them but thankfully not all of them, but one does wonder why they put Johnny Cash who  37 by what this says even on the cover?
