I keep seeing this, every time someone dies

"2016 is taking EVERYONE!!!! AHHHHHHHHH"

Come on man.

As time goes on and the world gets bigger, social media gets bigger, more TV, movies, music and stars are being made, more stars are AGING

Of course more people will die as time goes on.

2017 will have more, 2018 more so.

By 2050 there will be multiple dead famous people daily, the news won't even be able to keep up with it.

Common sense people stop acting like 2016 is a living creature hungry to feast on the lives of the famous

!!!
 
Notable individuals still seem to be dying at a high rate compared to recent years (where the world population was roughly the same). They're just bunched up statistically in 2016 it seems. And "A listers" in modern historical terms seem to be really going down hard - at least in terms of sports and entertainment. Bowie, Prince, Ali and Howe in the first half of one year? That's pretty bad before we even get into the rest of the casualties.

Lots of death this year in the "celebrity wing".
 
Baby boomers are starting to go...
 
There's no denying a lot of famous fuckers have died in the first half of '16.

That and there's more celebs than ever and they're aging so .... of course they're going to die off more often

Don't forget more coverage behind all the shootings making things seem more frequent as well.
 
The stars and idols for Gen X/Y's and Millennials are old or are starting to get old, so we're starting to notice these people who are starting to pass away.

I'm not sure if the actual people are going to be in his army or their souls will just be used as ammo or fuel for demon soldiers, and such. Though the athletes might well get upgraded to demons, kinda like Spawn.
I tend to have a pretty keen insight into the depraved and unholy, so I'm going with the latter two based on practicality. Sexy celebs will probably become even more sexy demons too, so they can seduce angels to switch sides and of course to get some new contracts signed.
