Actually, NOT so unbelievable...almost ALL of the above were in their 
eighties
or late seventies...which is around the normal life span of Homo 
Sapiens...?!

We often forget that WE are aging...and so are the folks we remember from
our "younger days"...?!

In fifty years or so, to-day's "rappers" will start dropping off due to old 
age
(much to their suprise...and ignoring the large contingent who will be shot
or knifed...?!)

The harsh reality is that "old age" is the one NON-curable malady which
we CANNOT avoid...?!
