A digital tradition that has caused a lot of trouble in the past is once again casting a dark shadow over the world of celebrities. The infamous DeathList has officially released its 2026 edition, which includes a carefully chosen list of 50 public figures that a secret group thinks may not live to see 2027.
Some people think the exercise is a harmless, if creepy, curiosity, while others see it as a 'sick' obsession with death that targets famous people when they are at their most vulnerable. There are strict rules for the list: candidates must be famous enough that UK mainstream media will definitely report their death, and they can't be famous just because they are likely to die soon.
