Biggest celebrity deaths in threes

[Carolina Fever]

Seems celebrity deaths always happens in threes. This week we have had Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy and Hulk Hogan. It got me thinking about what set of celebrity deaths in threes is the biggest. I was thinking this set might be the biggest since Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett and Ed McMahon.

And this article was posted yesterday before Hulk Hogan died today. Weird.

10 Times the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes Actually Happened

It always seems that in the midst of mourning over the death of a star, two more pass in the wake. Is the celebrity deaths rule of threes real?

Yeah, not talking about so called influencers and You Tube celebrities most people haven't heard of.

Don't see where Hogan being a pretend character in a pretend sport is a bigger deal. I have no idea what their comparative worldwide fame would be. I'd guess Hogan from longevity.

Two of the greatly overshadowed deaths was that of Ray Charles by Reagan and Lonnie Mack by Prince.

You don't think Hogan is more famous than internet celebs?

Is there a small child that can read my post and explain it to you? What do you think, " I have no idea what their comparative worldwide fame would be." means?

Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis died on the same day as JFK. Talk about being overshadowed.

Now Chuck Mangione.

I loved his guest star role on "King of the Hill" - "How ya doin', Arlen? Are you ready to soft rock?".

That's pretty amazing. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams dying on the same day, which happened to be July 4, has always been the standard for me, but this may be like the debate over whether three of a kind should really outrank two pair.

I just don't know how you wouldn't know that Hogan is a lot more famous than internet celebrities.

I don't give a shit about wrestling or Hulk Hogan.

I don't give a shit about internet celebrities. I have no way to or interest in measuring their comparative popularity and doubt that you do.

It's hard to not count him as an internet celebrity since it's only the globalization of entertainment through the internet that he's been known as long and as well as he is.

Any more stupid questions a fifth grader should know?

Why you so mad? I just don’t know how anyone who doesn't live under a rock and is over the age of 30 wouldn't know Hogan is much more famous than any internet celebrity, even if they don't care about Hogan or wrestling.
