I believe we have idealized the concept of celebrities. When they pass away, these ideas become frozen, as if they can no longer do anything new. They leave behind memories that are imprinted in our minds, and they remain in our thoughts and hearts as they were when they were alive.
In this way, a renowned BBC Proms conductor will be remembered for a long time. He lost his life to leukemia. Leukemia is a blood cancer that many celebrities have fought against, including Roman Reigns, a renowned WWE star. However, he is still fighting this disease with courage.
