Saying goodbye to someone you love or admire, even from afar, is never easy. That said, this year, in the midst of so much tragedy, the passing of many beloved stars hit quite differently. With so many people being extra mindful of their health and a number of people facing health scares due to the coronavirus, now more than ever many are appreciating life. They’re also feeling rocked in deep ways by the passing of so many people, from everyday individuals to notable figures.
Remembering the celebrities who have died this year, although sad, is a reminder of the ways in which so much has changed in 2020. Stars from across the entertainment industry — including the world’s top musicians, journalists, actors and athletes — were all some of the major names we’ve had to say goodbye to.
