I have to dismiss the whole idea of celebrity deaths occurring in threes. As that guy Eck in the article says, it's human nature to want to tidy up messy reality.

Some celebrities aren't a celebrity to me anyway. And vice versa.
This week's big death in Europe (for me) was that of Pina Bausch. Half of us at the office were very upset, especially with the rapidity and unexpectedness of the death, and the other half went "who is that?"

Ok, so tell us who Pina is (I do google!)

Seriously there were photos and lenghty pieces in the Boston Globe and the New York Times.

Spectacular. I saw Café Muller. I had a subscription to the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris for about 15 years and went to see her every year.
Since she did not always perform in the Wuppertal Tanztheater productions, the very last time I went to see one of the performances (about 5 years ago, before my family problems started), I found myself sitting near the front but on one side of the theatre and next to me, on the aisle seat.... was Pina Bausch herself. I couldn't take my eyes off her so I missed part of the show, because I was so absolutely fascinated by how many notes she could take about every little thing that happened on stage.

I saw of her death in the online news and my first thought was how it was going to be eclipsed by the death of glitzier "names".
