The biggest and scariest issue is that all of these celebrities are going completely unreplaced.<p>I am a fan of rock and heavy metal, and it is clear that rock stardom is literally dying off. The days of filling American arenas with rock concerts are quickly coming to an end, and that deeply saddens me.<p>Where are the twenty-something kids with attitude who will replace a band like AC&#x2F;DC? Is Justin Beiber the best we could do? It&#x27;s pathetic. Even a guy like Bon Jovi... Who is next in that line?? Seems like nobody. It&#x27;s depressing.<p>This is why I&#x27;m going to as many shows for bands like Iron Maiden as possible right now. When it&#x27;s over, rock and roll may truly be dead.<p>This is one of those moments where I realize I&#x27;m getting old. I never understood life extention and the quest for immortality. As things change, eventually they leave you behind. Find me a 90+ year old who really cares to stay. And that&#x27;s how I&#x27;m going to feel when rock and roll dies.
