I don't understand your assertion. People get sick everyday and it doesn't make headline because they aren't celebrities. Nothing spectacular or selective about it.

Yes people get sick, but then when a particular area of life or industry is under the spotlight, we pay attention there.

Nothing out of the ordinary, we all fall sick, regular people die daily out of worst sickness, diseases or basic natural death... why its may seem constant to you is because theirs is a small but celebrated community, alongside side a good number of them, basically those that are pioneers of that industry are in their ripe old age now.. so we can only pray for them to get well while we appreciate them for making part of our core memories beautiful.

Why not leave him at a facility where he can get good medical care

Like I said, the music industry did have casualty last year, doctors did, transporters, market woman, politicians,farmers, construction industry etc. Difference is one is under the spotlight by virtue of it nature while others are not. If records are released you would realize the entertainment industry lost nothing much compared to others.

Ok
