Also apparently this is a thing that happens

Besides getting killed by something or someone else, it seems heart attacks are a very common cause of death while performing. I wonder if it's due to the stressful nature of the situation in general.

Sadly performing is also often not the healthiest lifestyle. I know my diet & exercise fall off a cliff after only even a week or two of travel.

It's astounding, if you open the wikipedia list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entertainers_who_died_...) and make your browser highlight all occurrences of the words "heart" and "cardiac".
