    Ok so that’s 1 for assassinated pop stars… And a couple hundred assassinated world leaders. Or 4 presidents if you wanna limit yourself to just the US and it’s relatively short history.

      There’s a lot more than just one - here’s a specific example with excessive violence and a lot of collateral damage

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimebag_Darrell

      And here’s Wikipedia’s list of notable musicians, do note that someone performing at your local club or restaurant wouldn’t make it onto this list

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_murdered_musicians

      Also, she’s a prominent woman and there are just a lot of creepy guys out there so she’d faced an immense amount of abuse from a distance and personal threats of a violent, sexual and violently sexual nature.

        Damn you right. Maybe it is easier to kill a musician than it is to kill a sitting US president with the secret service around.

        Crazy concept I know.

      You really want to go down that road? Because I’m sure there’s a Wikipedia article that could show you a lot more attempted assassinations for pop stars than presidents /world leaders

        Here’s a crazy concept. Maybe they get killed more frequently than US presidents because they don’t have the fuckin secret service protecting them 24/7. I mean the guy who killed John Lennon just walked up to him outside a building and shot him.
