"You know I go from rags to riches." Laverne & Shirley was one of my childhood favorites. Sad that so many of them are gone now. RIP Eddie

No body seems alarmed at how young celebrities are that die, which is a huge list, especially in music.

I mean, sure it's shocking. I thought he would've been older than that anyway. But who knows what it was. Genetic heart condition? Something else?
