20 Rare Celebrity Photos Taken Before They Passed Away
David Bowie, 1947-2016
The December 7th 2015 premiere of his musical, ‘Lazarus,’ at the Theatre Workshop in New York would turn out to be David Bowie’s final public appearance.
Bowie had been battling liver cancer for over a year, and by this late stage was aware that it was terminal.
His final album ‘Blackstar’ was full of references to death and he had appeared to have accepted and come to terms with his own mortality, with a humour and grace that many of us can only hope to emulate.
Chester Bennington, 1976-2017
This photo of a smiling and seemingly happy Chester Bennington was taken just days prior to his passing. On July 20, 2017, Bennington was found dead at his home in California, having committed suicide by hanging. Bennington had always been open about his struggles with addiction and depression, but those close to him were shocked by his suicide.
The day after Cornell’s memorial, Bennington tweeted that he was “feeling very creative” and had written six new songs. Around the same time, he told a friend, Rene Mata, “We have to stick together, and we have so much to live for.” Bennington was just 41 years old at the time of his death.
Love your photos, especially of Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix and Amy Winehouse! However, I did not find a black and white photo of Marvin Gaye that I would love to purchase, as long as the price is right! ): I’d love to obtain a poster size of Marvin Gaye for framing. Can you assist me in this endeavor? Thank you so much!
Did you ever find a poster? There’s plenty available.
