They've been a lot of very young stars dying recently too: Avicii, Juice WRLD, Mac Miller, lil peep, XXXTENTACION, Pop Smoke, etc. Of them, Avicii is the only one who even made 27.
But yes, Madonna seems the last of those top tier 80s megastars (MJ, Prince, George Michael, Whitney, etc.), and Eddie Vedder also looks set to considerably outlast the other comparable grungey frontmen like Cobain, Cornell, Staley, Weiland. It is sad when a perceived group just craters like that.
Jimi Jamison (Survivor)
He is the I Can’t Hold Back guy.Was he the Eye of the Tiger guy or the I Can't Hold Back guy?
U2, Billy Joel, Elton, Springsteen, Bon Jovi …Phil Collins, Janet Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Idol & Paul Simon say hi?
I don't think he released any albums in the 1980's or 1990's because he died in 1971.Somebody hasn't heard of Jim Morrison.

But it doesn't prove the thread title wrong because he isn't of the 80's and 90's.That's the point, he's an iconic singer who proves the thread title wrong.

I took the question to mean no one else (other singers) from the 80's or 90's have died.The title was:
Why do iconic singers of the 80s and 90s die but no one else?
'No one else' can reasonably be assumed to be Morrison, Joplis and Hendrix.
Eddie Vedder was iconic during the 90's and he's still alive.
Vince Neil, Axl Rose, Bon Jovi, Bono and David Lee Roth were iconic during the 80s are still with us.
Bon Scott was of the 70's and barely made it into 1980.
A study a decade back suggested that the average age of your typical musician is the same as Zimbabwe's life expectancy (i.e. - in your 40's). In that regards, it's a miracle that Vince Neil, Ozzy Osbourne and Robert Plant have surpassed 60 and 70 respectively. Meanwhile, in a tragic irony, a clean living young guitarist (Randy Rhoads) died young, just after turning 25.
That's why it's wrong. The title states that singers outside that era don't dieBut it doesn't prove the thread title wrong because he isn't of the 80's and 90's.

BTW, I'm not sticking up for the OP, beside being poorly worded, it is perhaps the dumbest question ever asked on Bigfooty.
