In actuality, no matter how long you've spent on the internet in 2019, chances are the man himself, pictured above looking as cool as ever, has cropped up either through intentional research or for whatever reason. The cult of celebrity is what it is, stars come and go, others are ubiquitous in their notoriety and others simply have huge spurts of popularity based on a plethora of reasons. Our man Keanu has been this omnipresent star, but in 2019, he seems to have exponentially risen in popularity over the informative waves of the inter-webs to a point where some are saying it is indeed HIS year. The Matrix star, a confused yet laid-back teenager in Bill & Ted and bomb disarming baby-faced dynamo in Speed has become somewhat of an online and pop-culture icon more so than he was already, but why? Well, including but not limited to - movie news, video-game appearances and just being an all-round nice human, its a full list, some of which we're about to explore. [post_page_title] Starting Light-Hearted: The Puns [/post_page_title] The internet can be a horrid place and can really lay-into and verbally brutalize the more notorious and famous of the human race, there is no doubt about that. However, in 2019, in this apparent year of Keanu Reeves, the internet honed-in on Mr. Reeves. The 55-year-old actor is no stranger to memes or remarks and a little jest on behalf of the internet but this year, in perhaps the best of examples, amongst the Keanu-appreciation-fest, the applicability of his surname to a little playful rhyme blew-up on Twitter and elsewhere. [MediaContent] https://twitter.com/TheGoldenRam33/status/1137566732216877057 [/MediaContent] From - "Keanu Reeves at church: Keanu Believes" to "Keanu Reeves as a hemophiliac: Keanu Bleeds", Twitter is chock-full of these so it's definitely worth looking. I may as attempt one while I'm here, ahem - "Keanu As The Main Character: Keanu Leads". No? I'll see myself out. [post_page_title] The Flicks [/post_page_title] Now, obviously being a MOVIE STAR means that Mr. Reeves has that going for him. This year saw a huge amount of announcements inciting huge amounts of internet excitement with titles such as the third installment in the John Wick franchise as well as lighthearted appearances in other franchises such as the household Toy Story 4 and the 2020 Spongebob movie. [caption id="attachment_3783" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] "The Camera was - THIS big," - the famous actor that is possibly Keanu Reeves. Now I know what you're thinking, this could be a compilation of Mr. Reeves making size-related hand gestures, but sadly it isn't, although that is a good idea. I digress, through the movies this year that he has directly starred and those he has even dabbed a hand in behind the camera, Keanu has shown nothing but how versatile he is as a modern actor and cinema-based icon. [post_page_title] The Big One: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum [/post_page_title] 'John Wick' is a fictional name that has permeated this year's news within popular cinema and for good reason. The third in the franchise - without posting any overt spoilers for those haven't seen it - sees the Russian trained assassin on the run fighting-off those who partake in the same profession. [caption id="attachment_3787" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] Now, what's (most) excellent and impressive about Keanu's role in this thrilling action-adventure franchise is how high-octane it is to watch. For those that have seen them all, just the one or simply the trailer and a few clips you will almost certainly agree. [post_page_title] Warning: This Contains Epic Levels Of Cool [/post_page_title] In particular, and regardless of which of the above you qualify for, the now famous 'Throwing Knives Scene' from John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum is one truly immersive and transfixing. The sheer level of non-stop, relentless violence and unfathomably impressive skills purveyed by not only the protagonist Mr. Wick but his near-countless enemies is truly something to behold. Especially as Keanu Reeves can move in such a way on screen in his fifties. I mean just look at! Why would you not want to see that movie?!?! [post_page_title] Keanu Reeves: Cool-Wick [/post_page_title] I know what you're thinking, "he can't possibly be doing ALL or even most of all those stunts." However, you may well be surprised to know that although like many actors and actresses, stunt-doubles were used, Keanu is reported to have done the vast majority of his own stunts THROUGHOUT the franchise. With example figure of 90% reported for the middling Chapter 2 of John Wick and credible reports of similar in this year's installment. Bonus fact: The actor trained in Jiu-Jitsu, Wushu, Boxing, and Krav Maga, in preparation for the original (The) Matrix film as well as later in Judo and Karate. What a machine! "Hello yes, personal trainer, yes, I want to look like THAT when I'm 55." [post_page_title] The Less Explosive [/post_page_title] Away from all that, Keanu also took part in another and considerably more light-hearted silver-screen indisputable house-hold name: Toy Story 4! [caption id="attachment_3791" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] To star in such a franchise after decades of movies staring as a gun-toting, karate-perfecting absolute ice-cold epitome of coolness really speaks so much of Keanu Reeves. The Hollywood staple is good at everything he puts his mind too and that's a fact. Absolutely no argument will ever contest that. [post_page_title] Duke Caboom! [/post_page_title] In the fourth installment of Toy Story, Mr. Reeves, despite the stark contrast from his John Wick or his Neo from the seminal soon to be slow-mo quartet masterpiece know as the Matrix movies, still manages to tie-in his reputation and penchant for on-screen physical exertion! Even though the character of Duke Caboom is for a younger audience, Keanu Reeves cannot seem to help himself! Just look at the TV spot and trailer for Canada's most spectacular dare-devil and 2019's most spectacular actor! [post_page_title] One The Camera But Behind The Camera [/post_page_title] While we are still just on the topic of stunts, Keanu also took part in a documentary alongside a whole host of other names to talk about what it is really like behind the scenes when danger is the game. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VUiw3nNbm/ [/MediaContent] I don't know about you but this has been added to my 'to watch' list. 2nd Unit: Invisible Action Stars is out now. [post_page_title] Between Two Ferns [/post_page_title] From explosive back to humor, we are back in-line with that more light-hearted Mr. Reeves. In 'Between Two Ferns' Keanu is roasted by the incredibly awkward Zach Galifianakis in an improv style where the actors have no idea what they are promptly about to be asked. Although Keanu was aware of how utterly random this would be, his performance is impeccable and his effort unto which he is undertaking to not laugh is more than admirable. Once again, Keanu just gets on with it. You can watch the whole thing on Netflix now. [post_page_title] To Be Excellent Is To Announce Further Excellence [/post_page_title] What am I talking about? Well in 1989 and then in the year I was born in 1991, a film was made that took the world by storm. And in 2019, an announcement was made that completely broke the internet. Next year, 2020, will see Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves reprise their roles as Bill & Ted respectively in - Bill & Ted Face the music. [post_page_title] Keanu In His Most Excellent Element [/post_page_title] I can't imagine better news, you can see genuinely how happy both the actors are in the announcement video above. If Keanu's films this year weren't enough and his popularity after his three-decades of acting wasn't as ubiquitous as it could be already, the movie that launched his career extending to a trilogy could not be better news. Even the above, posing for press shots sees the Keanu as Ted truly in his element. 2020 absolutely needs to hasten its grand entrance. We need this movie. [post_page_title] Keanu Gets Nautical and Absorbant [/post_page_title] Have I confused you with my title? Perhaps, but once again, in 2019 another household name would announce itself intending to hit the big screen in 2020 - The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. Starring, yes, of course, you guessed it - Mr. Keanu Reeves. Keanu takes up the physical (well, in so far as his head and vocal-chords) role of Sage, which works out pretty well for reasons that will become obvious in the trailer above. One again, even via the very few lines we get to see in the trailer, the world's love for Keanu only intensifies, once again, I feel I need to emphasize that he can literally play any role. [post_page_title] John Wick: Chapter 4 Announcement [/post_page_title] I know this is technically 2020, but if the popularity of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and its onset grossing $321 million at the box office worldwide wasn't enough, Lionsgate also announce this year that May 2021 would see the release of Chapter 4 in the franchise. [caption id="attachment_3800" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] "You have served. You will be of service. John Wick: Chapter 4 is coming – May 21, 2021." - Lionsgate in a text message to fans in May 2019. I'm excited, are you? [post_page_title] Slow Motion Is The Only Motion [/post_page_title] Once again, Keanu was involved in yet another earth and internet shattering announcement this year, which has inundated said information highway with memes, theories and just general hurrah at the announcement that, 16 years after The Matrix Revolutions and the apparent end of the trilogy, Keanu Reeves would be reprising his role as Neo. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-HDqEIAVA/ [/MediaContent] Simply search 'The Matrix 4' on Instagram will yield a plethora of appreciation for the franchise that if you really wanted to, you could spend countless 24-cycles perusing. [post_page_title] Beyond The Big Screen [/post_page_title] Next in the Keanu-list, we have gaming. The lucrative multi-faceted industry has grown exponentially in the last decade with overtly complex plots akin to or even greater than silver-screen epics hitting video games on consoles and PC. This year saw the man of 2019 get truly involved with the world of triple-A games via what you are about to see. Set in a dystopian cybernetic future where body modification is the be-all and end-all, if the trailer itself wasn't enough, Keanu's in-game appearance was only matched by the way he commands the stage he walks in on at the E3 expo. [post_page_title] And It Gets Better [/post_page_title] At the expo after walking on stage like the absolute master of all, Keanu commands the crowd as he gleefully describes the game only to be heckled in a way that proves how utterly love he is. However, it is his response that really makes it. Breath-taking indeed! Role on 16/04/2020! [post_page_title] Acting Isn't Even His Whole Bag [/post_page_title] Despite his obvious career as an actor and an all-round lovable individual, Keanu Reeves is also a producer (Already Gone, August 2019) and a regular on documentaries and interview-based TV shows. In fact, I thoroughly recommend you research his accolades, the man has not stopped this year. [caption id="attachment_3805" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] Admittedly this is more of another bonus fact as it were to show how busy this year has been for him. No wonder the year of 2019 is resoundingly dubbed as his triumphant own. [post_page_title] 2019 Has Been Given A Name In His Honor [/post_page_title] There isn't too much I can say on this for it absolutely substantiates this entire list and itself entirely in, I might add, the most intrinsic way. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/BzB3tDnA18N/ [/MediaContent] Let it be noted down in the annals of history this year 2019 AD be named as the: KEANUSSANCE. [post_page_title] The Cult Of Celebrity Hasn't Affected His Manners [/post_page_title] This year has seen no shortage of examples of Keanu's altruism, as well as past examples and stories shared by fans. [caption id="attachment_3815" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images.[/caption] Perhaps the most famous recently surfaced story is of his buying of ice cream he didn't want JUST so he could sign the receipt for the fan working the admissions desk at a movie theatre. Wholesome stuff, BUT it doesn't stop there, stories of him jumping out of a car to sign a fan's banner in passing and then sticking around pose for family photos have also recently surfaced. [post_page_title] Speaking Of Manners [/post_page_title] Another little bonus fact showing Keanu's attitude to those around him would be the little - or rather big - things he's done for family, friends, and colleagues for reasons not always obvious but largely irrelevant through kindness. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B044WbyACSS/ [/MediaContent] These include buying a house for his mother, a fleet of Harley Davidson motorbikes for stunt crews working on The Matrix and taking pay-cuts so that pictures he was working on were able to hire further actors. A famous example of this selfless act would be for Al Pacino to star in The Devil's Advocate back in 1997. As 2019 progressed, the man the spotlight became all the more uncovered and all the more celebrated. [post_page_title] His Respectability And Privacy [/post_page_title] Despite being in the spotlight for thirty years now, Keanu is, outside of movie-related appearances, interviews, and promotion of such, a very private man. Although much is known about his life, and he will answer questions, the way in which he parades himself personally is often closed and respectably guarded. [caption id="attachment_3827" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] In an interview earlier this year, the star quite directly answer a question on why he isn't a user of social media personally, with -"Privacy is important to me," [...] "And yeah, I don't really have anything to say about anything!" Fair play. [post_page_title] His New Relationship and Engagement  [/post_page_title] With a relationship history known about by many but seldom talked about by the actor due to some truly tragic events, it is no wonder that when it comes to relationships, that Mr. Reeves is sparsely seen engaging such pursuits. That is until 2019 where a long-time friend of the star became just a little more and on public display. [caption id="attachment_3829" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] Reeves stepping out hand-in-hand openly with a romantic partner has been unheard of in recent years given his privacy and history, and, of course, when the above was captured, the internet, well, you guessed again, went mental. [post_page_title] How He Met Alexandra Grant [/post_page_title] What a lot of people IMMEDIATELY began to ponder, wonder and likely obsess over was the question of who exactly was Alexandra Grant and how did they meet? [caption id="attachment_3832" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] It soon became apparent that the pair had known each other professionally and in friendship for quite some time. The couple actually collaborated on Keanu's 2011 book, Ode To Happiness, and again on his follow-up in 2016, Shadows. However, the pair met in 2009 at a social event that would eventually spawn both books, a small publishing company and of course a budding new romantic relationship. [post_page_title] About His New Love [/post_page_title] The multi-lingual LA-based visual-artist examines language and written texts through painting, drawing, sculpture, video, and other media. She has served as a teacher and professor at various posts across the US between 2009-2015, including a co-position at Ashesi University in Accra, Ghana. Her accolades also include her own foundation (the grantLOVE project) dedicated to producing and selling art-works that benefit other artists' work and assisting in the funding of non-profit arts ventures. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DGH-7jupp/ [/MediaContent] The rest I guess is history, and it's nice to see two people genuinely happy in a sea of perpetually rough Hollywood love-drama. [post_page_title] He's Interesting Outside Of His Characters [/post_page_title] Not only does Keanu play a multitude of interesting and dynamic characters across a thirty career, but the man himself is also really quite interesting off the screen. Born in Beruit, Lebanon to a British mother and a father of British, American, Hawaiian and Chinese descent, eventually settling in Toronto, Canada, the actor was interesting from the get-go and had his heart set on acting. From his creative use of language, methods as an actor and known humble approach to being human, he's an individual that I could honestly just listen to indefinitely. Just sample the interview above from earlier this year. [post_page_title] He Thinks The Internet's Obsession with him is 'Wacky' [/post_page_title] Not being on social media himself, it goes without saying that Keanu's understanding of the weird world's obsession with him is a little lacking. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ITp3fFpgp/ [/MediaContent] In an interview about Toy Story 4 at the premiere red carpet, being told that he had been dubbed "the Internet's boyfriend" prompted him to laugh and remark, "That's wacky." "Well, the positivity’s great" he continued reportedly a little bashful. He may not get it, but at least he knows how much we all adore him! [post_page_title] The KEANUSSANCE Ha Truly Taken Over [/post_page_title] While I researching this, the #keanureeves on Instagram was growing each time I refreshed the page or began to scroll for more. So as we get towards the end of what I hope was a Keanu- enlightening experience, I thought a few examples of such would be fitting. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ISlPOn94a/ [/MediaContent] When two institutions collide. If you were to look, across the worlds of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram you will be sure to find thousands upon thousands of people dedicated in their following and adoration of this man over COUNTLESS accounts set up for that very purpose! [post_page_title] Regardless Of Plot, People Flock To Their Favorite Stars Pictures [/post_page_title] Apart from all the socio-political doom besieging us on all sides, I think that if there is one singular certainty in 2019, it's that anything Keanu Reeves does will instantly fill movie theatres. [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ik1P3gdDQ/ [/MediaContent] Don't believe me? Well, just take a long hard look at the above. [post_page_title] Keanu Was There At The Very Beginning... Of Memes [/post_page_title] There are many terms used to describe the period of history we are in, yet if you were to look at where we currently are, I mean really thought about it, then perhaps the moniker - 'The Decade Of Memes'. Meme culture has seen simple imagery and stills transform from basic humor and contextual in-jokes to utter political assaults in favor of whatever context is laid out by whoever made it. It's been a rough ride, one that old Keanu has always been a part of... [MediaContent] https://www.instagram.com/p/B5InSOdhwUS/ [/MediaContent] And there we have it, Keanu Reeves face that launched a thousand memes. [post_page_title] To Close, A Philanthropic Act [/post_page_title] In truth, a chronicle could be written and at least evidenced in note form of all the reasons why this star of stars should be venerated. However, I've chosen to end on one that I feel really shows his true character. To give a little context, a great many famous faces lend their names to undeniably valuable causes and Keanu is among them but true to himself, completely his own way. [caption id="attachment_3826" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: PA Images[/caption] In 2009 Keanu remarked that for the past 5-6 years, he had been donating to a private foundation he'd set up himself to fund a few small children's hospitals and cancer research. The latter being close to home given his sister's battle with Leukemia. However, the extent to which this ever-so kind act has been going on was still left a little ambiguous. "I don't like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does," he remarked. Although not strictly 2019, I felt it was perhaps the best way to demonstrate how much as a wonderful human being this man is.

Social media's influence on popular culture cannot be denied. Just think back to the Nineties, when the term almost exclusively referred to offbeat sartorial trends (I'm looking at you, Justin and Britney), MTV music videos and TRL's commentary on all of the above. In 2018, however, we're more content with letting our freak flag fly - spending hours tagging our friends in memes, creating GIFs and laughing over the fact that Nicole Kidman doesn't know how to clap.

One celebrity who has been made into countless memes and GIFs is Keanu Reeves. I mean, you must be living under a rock if you haven't seen the sad Keanu meme, and now it appears that the internet has  conjured up a rather bizarre, albeit fitting, conspiracy theory about him too.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc3WneTlb6U/?hl=en&taken-by=keanureevesofficialfanpage]]

We're only three months into 2018, and we've had teenagers eating tide pods, alleged "time travellers" revealing their finds, and now, a conspiracy theory involving everyone's favourite punching bag, Keanu Reeves.

It's evident that several of Hollywood's finest have managed to defy the passing of time. There's the veritable vampire that is Paul Rudd, Queen Bey, and Reeves who appears not to have aged since his Matrix days. Now, in regards to the latter, the people of the internet have a theory more compelling than his hearty bank balance and a swanky skincare regimen - and it's that he's immortal.

Let's check out the evidence, shall we? First, there's this painting of the French actor, Paul Mounet, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Keanu.

I mean, they're both actors, right? And just check out this photograph - it couldn't possibly be anyone other than Keanu.

And that's not all. If you look back at his Bill and Ted days, it's clear that Keanu hasn't aged a day. That, or, he needs to let us in on who his dermatologist is.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf6GDlnBbhn/?tagged=billandted]]

The actor has even alluded to his purported immortality. While working on The Matrix, Reeves allegedly donated $75 million to crew on the special effects and costume teams. Speaking back in 1991, he said "Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries." Well, isn't that handy?

But while contending with all the practicalities of being immortal, Keanu has been keeping himself busy with acting work. He's set to appear in a new action epic by Rick Famuyiwa that's exclusive to Netflix. Deadline reports that Past Midnight is described as "a feature about a new kind of vigilante superhero", and that Keanu is set to have the starring role.

Right now, however, the actor is working on The Starling, Rally Car, Replicas, Siberia, Destination Wedding, and the television mini-series, Rain.

I guess you have to keep yourself busy when there's no end in sight...

In other news, Keanu Reeves has been running a secret cancer foundation which funds children's hospitals.

Most of us have imagined what we will look like down the line, and thanks to apps and photoshop, we can get a pretty good idea.

But as we all know, the aging process is affected by a lot of things including a person's genes, diet, and these days, whether or not they chose to have any cosmetic procedures!

Now, one man has posted a picture of a magazine's prediction of what David Beckham would look like in 2020, and it couldn't have been more wrong.

Beckham's even influencing his son's appearance, and in the video below, he explains how he inspired his son's first tattoo: 

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/zctIg02X-Q0L14jDU.mp4||zctIg02X]]

The picture was posted to Twitter with the caption: "Going through some old @FourFourTwo mags from 1998 at the #carboot. This is how they imagined David Beckham would look in 2020."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/fenlandgent/status/1119879018558435328]]

Needless to say, the magazine was far off the mark when it came to Beckham's 2020 appearance.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CFjRVYVBCMU/]]

Contrary to what the magazine suggested, Beckham still has a full set of teeth.

[[twitterwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WzMyPBgy9/]]

To put how good Beckham, 45, looks these days into context, this is him at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in 2018.

[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]

The tweet did not go unnoticed, either, and this is what users of the social media website had to say about it.

One pointed out the additional prediction that Posh Spice would have significantly increased in weight by 2020.

Alongside laughing emojis, they wrote: "Posh Spice, who has ballooned to 20st....."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/tractorgirlie/status/1119879533937799168]]

Meanwhile, one Twitter user simply replied with a black and white gif of Frankenstein's monster.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/paulturner66/status/1119897893962440704]]

However, despite the fact that the picture looks nothing like Beckham in 2020, one Twitter user thought it was bang on.

They wrote: "Spot on, apart from all the doodles he's got."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Ersatz_F/status/1119883128234020866]]

We can only assume the tweet above was a joke, but regardless, one thing's for sure, photoshop certainly wasn't as good in the nineties as it is today.

David Beckham is not the only person in his immediate circle who is aging like a fine wine, and back in August, fans claimed that Brooklyn Beckham's future mother-in-law looks the same age as his 25-year-old fiancée.

British comedian Ricky Gervais has said that celebrities should be scrapped from the UK's New Year's Honor's list this year.

Gervais, 58, made the comments during a new interview with Australian radio presenter Christian O’Connell.

Per the official UK government website: "The full New Year Honours list recognizes the achievements and service of extraordinary people across the United Kingdom."

The Office creator praised frontline workers, saying: "I never want anyone to complain about the NHS again, or nurses or doctors or anyone on the front line.

"We’ve got to remember we clapped for them and that should always be there."

Gervais certainly isn't shy when it comes to roasting celebrities:

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/rW4sj1Cs-Q0L14jDU.mp4||rW4sj1Cs]]

Gervais then turned his attention to celebrities, stating: "The New Year's Honors list should not go to celebrities this year. It should go to those people.

"Give it to someone who gave a kidney to a stranger, not someone who invented a new type of mascara. I’ve seen people given a knighthood for services to fashion. What are you talking about, services to fashion?

"Christ, it’s not that hard. People are finding cures for cancer and AIDS."

[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]

This certainly is not the first time Gervais has hit out at celebrities amid the coronavirus pandemic. Last month, he hit out at stars for using their platforms to preach to the public amid the coronavirus pandemic.

He proceeded to reference Gal Gadot's Imagine video, which sparked outrage online from people who would have preferred its celebrity participants to donate to coronavirus relief efforts instead of simply singing.

Admitting that the Imagine video was likely well-intentioned on BBC's Five Live, Ricky mused: "That Imagine video, it's not that bad, they're probably very nice people."

"It was an awful rendition, but they might have been doing it for good reasons, to help these normal nobodies. But they're going 'My film's coming up and I'm not on telly - I need to be in the public eye', not all of them but some of them.

"You can see in their eye - 'I could cry at the beauty of my personality, I'm just so beautiful for doing this' and everyone sees that - we get it."

[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]

Gervais then slammed any stars complaining amid pandemic, saying: "For a start, you won't hear me complain - not when there's nurses doing 14 hours shifts - and frontline workers carrying on and risking their health.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me... I go for walks on Hampstead Heath, and we've got a garden.

"There are people in high rise blocks with three kids - I can't complain, this is why millionaires in their mansions with their gym and going for a swim can't lecture people."

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SJUgHnFxp/]]

The 58-year-old star concluded: "People are sick of being lectured, multi-millionaires telling them to clean out their coffee jar and put it in the right bin - they know those celebs are taking private jets to their private islands. They are sick of it."

It's a sad fact that a lot of rock stars die young. In fact, it's something of a stereotype for fans that dead artists tend to be appreciated more. Maybe it's because we tend to fetishise their potential - what was lost before their lives were tragically cut short. It even has a name: the 27 club, which addresses the strange phenomena whereby the majority of musicians who die young pass away at the age of 27.

Just think what some of these lost legends might be like if they'd lived to see the year 2018? Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and John Lennon are all good examples, and remain eternally young because of their tragic demise. So what would these icons look now? That's the question that the Sachs Media Group attempted to answer. They partnered with the photo restoration Phojoe to create a gallery showcasing what these heroes would look like in their old age. Scroll down to check them out below!

1. Jim Morrison

2. Dennis Wilson 

3. Karen Carpenter 

4. Keith Moon

5. Bobby Darin

6. Kurt Cobain

7. Jimmi Hendrix

8. Elvis Presley

9. Janis Joplin

10. John Lennon

11. Bob Marley

Wow, just looking at some of these pictures is making me feel really sad. If you'll excuse me, I think I need to go and listen to Nevermind for the zillionth time.
