Yes, because they just announced who is replacing him--Lilly Singh, "Canadian YouTuber, comedian, television host, and actress widely known as ||Superwoman||" who I am too old to have heard of.

did you erroneously think he had died at some point, or just haven’t given a thought to Guns or AC/DC for twenty-five years?

Already mentioned but Carl Reiner (97).

Saw his name in the credit of a Parks and Rec episode he appeared on - in a moment of cognitive dissonance I thought “damn, Rob Reiner is looking old”
