I think it's because too many people are famous.
Increases the odds.

Additionally, the people who were famous as we grew up are now approaching old age ; just as we are.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Famous folks die all the time. We just have instant news about their deaths now because of the internet/social media.
When John Lennon died, most Americans didn't even know about it until the next day since he died late in the evening. Lennon's death was announced by Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football.

Yes I know but that was late at night and not all Americans watched MNF.

I was in grade 7, we had a class called Current Events. That's how I found out. He had just released Double Fantasy, and a few of the songs were getting heavy air play (radio was my only source of music) even before his assassination.
