The Internet Agrees: If 2016 Could Just Fucking Not, We’d Be Stoked

2016 has been a bloody rough year in terms of celebrity deaths.

And the heart-shattering news filtering through this morning that the almighty, iconic, irreplaceable Prince has passed on, that piling on has only gotten greater.

It’s barely the end of April, yet already this year we’ve lost David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Gary Shandling, Chyna, Doris Roberts, Merle Haggard, Phife Dawg, Frank Sinatra Jr, George Martin, Harper Lee, Dave Mirra, Maurice White, Abe Vigoda and Glenn Frey. And that’s just to name only a few.

Hell, if you throw Lemmy‘s passing in the final days of 2015 into the mix along with Bowie and Prince, then this particular writer has had 3 of his all-time top 5 musical icons leave this mortal coil in the last 4 months alone.

It’s been such a rough year for people’s heroes, that this latest bout of bad news has seemingly been the final straw, and people have straight-up cracked it with 2016.

Twitter is absolutely awash this morning with people registering their frustration with this god-awful year, imploring 2016 to just… y’know… fucking ease up for a sec or two, ok?

Dear 2016,

Please stop. You’ve reached your limit.

Sincerely,
The World

Dear 2016, why do you keep taking the best of the humans? Is there some epic party that needed a really awesome soundtrack?

Dear Mr Reaper,

You’ve been working too hard so we’ve had a whip-round and booked you a holiday for the rest of 2016.

Sincerely,

Everyone

And that’s barely scratching the surface of it. Hell, that’s not even looking at those who couldn’t quite find the words to express their dismay.

It very, very rarely happens, but it would appear the entire internet is united on this one.

If 2016 could bloody cool it for a hot minute, we’d all be willing to throw it a parade.

And on a personal note (I realise I’m putting the mozz on him in writing this) but if someone could just go check on Bruce Springsteen to confirm he’s ok, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.
