To feel like a horrible witch re: Bowie? [lightheartedish]

So on Saturday I was watching some standard weekend telly (I think it was Saturday kitchen) and they mentioned that David Bowie had just turned 69 and the following went through my head:
'God, that's really old. I still fancy him I think. It was the Labyrinth that did it. I wonder if he'll die? Surely Bowie won't ever die?' I thought of him a few more times throughout the weekend and dreamt about The Man Who Went To Earth on Sunday night.
And then the first thing I heard on my alarm radio on Monday morning (literally the first thing - it came on mid news) that he'd died. I got a real chill. And now I feel awful! Although I know that it can't actually possibly be anything to do with me, it's still odd.

The thing is, with most famous people someone is going to have thought about them dying, or "had a conversation about them", most days. They don't die every time someone thinks about them dying.

Sorry if that's too dull a reply.

I was talking about Bowie on Sunday night and woke up with Life on Mars stuck in my head. I am also a witch! Must focus on Cameron....

I had Life On Mars in my head all day Sunday too! Maybe it was something to do with the publicity around new album release?
This has happened to me twice before though. I posted on fb mentioning someone famous and they died shortly afterwards. Not the first time I've been called a witch either!

On another forum we were once discussing how random some of the celebrity deaths had been (or something like that). I said "who next? Anita Roddick?" She being the most random celebrity I could think of on the spur of the moment at that time.

2 days later she died Sad

I'm in the coven too.
