Emma JonesIn 2019, there has already been plenty of ups and downs in the world of celebrities. While Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas tied the knot and Kanye and Kim welcomed a fourth child, Louis C.K. is fighting for his career. Elsewhere, who can we expect to have a big 2019? Let’s take a look!
Rihanna
Yes, the news we’ve all been waiting for; new music from RiRi. Although it seems like we’ve been waiting a lifetime, we’re closer than ever as the Barbados singer continually teases new information.
So far, her avid followers have been referring to the album as #R9 since no official name has been revealed. In fact, Rihanna has already joked about calling her album R9 since it has been affectionately adopted by her so-called ‘Navy’.
Whatever it’s called, we can’t wait, and her close friend Jennifer Rosales suggested that it was finished back in March, so we could be closer than we think.
Sophie Turner
Everything is coming up Sophie Turner right now. As we mentioned, she recently wed Joe Jonas and the Brit also waved goodbye to Game of Thrones. For most, this would be enough…not for Sophie. Later this year, we’ll see the release of Dark Phoenix which will provide an origin story for Jean Grey, one of the most popular X-Men.
Tessa Thompson
Much like Sophie Turner, Tessa Thompson seems to be taking all the big roles on TV and in the movies currently. This will continue in 2019 after already finding success in Sorry to Bother You, Westworld, and Creed II. According to Thompson herself, representation in films is one of her key goals and she chooses her roles carefully based on this contribution.
In 2019, her journey will continue as she stands alongside Chris Hemsworth in Men in Black: International. Released in June, this is another film we look forward to seeing; it also offers Emma Thompson, Rafe Spall, Liam Neeson, and Rebecca Ferguson.
Julia Michaels
Returning to the world of music, Julia Michaels has risen to fame in recent times. As well as her hit song ‘Issues’, she has also earned writing credits on songs for Selena Gomez, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, and Nick Jonas.
Following up on her triple-platinum album Issues, Michaels actually delayed her second album release from September 2018 since she didn’t feel it was ready. This is something we admire, although we’re eagerly anticipating the album and the likely tour that will follow.
Donald Glover
In truth, Donald Glover could have been on this list for 2017, 2018, and this year too. Every year, he seems to take his career to a new level whether it’s through music or acting. Last year, the world paid attention as he released his ‘This is America’ video. Yet, he also found time to play Lando Calrissian in Solo as well as having a role in Atlanta on FX.
This year, he’s touring as Childish Gambino, playing Simba in the live-action remake of Lion King, and more. Something tells us he’ll be in our 2020 list too!
Emma Jones is known worldwide for her awesome poetry. She was birthed in Sydney and went on to school in Sydney before heading to the University of Cambridge. In the year, 2014, she was ranked as one of the Poetry Book Society's Next Generation Poets. The Weekend Australian termed her as 'one of the most exciting new voices in poetry.' She hasn't disappointed those words ever since. She has gone on tour in multiple countries, and have amassed readers far and wide.

Disney had to shut the door on 2023’s Star Wars Celebration. But with that being out of the way, the forces have announced the next time they’ll be celebrating the franchise. So, in a galaxy far, far away, fans and celebrities from the franchise will come together and rejoice in the name of the force. The next Celebration will happen in 2025, sounds a bit too far, doesn’t it?
Star Wars Celebration In Japan
Celebration cinema movies and so much more await fans in Japan. What an interesting choice to hold the next Star Wars Celebration. What’s more fascinating is that Disney has completely overlooked the year 2024 as a potential candidate. But it’s not all that bewildering if you think it through. There are absolutely no Star Wars movies planned in the coming years. It would be ideal to take a short break for this very reason.
Japanese fans are always known for taking things one step further with their cosplays and conventions. This time, disney+ japan has brought everyone to Central Tokyo, home of one of Japan’s biggest convention centers.
Nicely placed in the Makuhari Messe district, this convention center will welcome thousands of fans from all over the world on the 18th of April 2025. The celebration will go on until the 20th of April.
Would it surprise you if we were to say the 2025 edition is not the first time Disney has picked Japan as its host? Back in 2008, Japan hosted another Star Wars Celebration. It’s outlandish but in the best way because usually, fans in the U.K. and the U.S. get to host the celebration. Imagine not having London hotels to stay in this time around. Perhaps this time, a cool little sleeping pod at a Japanese hotel can be fans’ mainstay.
Thanks to everyone’s favorite, COVID-19, the fan-gathering was called off in 2020. So the next time you get to go, know that it’s been five years since then. Hopefully, Pedro Pascal shows up and lightens up everyone’s mood at the convention.

If you were born in the 90s, David Crosby might just be your favorite singer and songwriter. He may have produced and created some of your favorite songs and given birth to some of your favorite genres. David Crosby was a big contributor to folk rock as well as psychedelia. The man gave us great hits like Long Time Gone, Turn! Turn! Turn!, and also Wooden Ships.
Did you know that Crosby may just be responsible for your favorite rock songs just as much as he was responsible for finding and fueling the whole genre of folk rock? He was one of the few members of the group who helped and introduced the intoxicating California Sound in music. To everyone’s shock and grief, Crosby died peacefully in his sleep. The culprit? COVID-19.
David Crosby Died of COVID-19
The news is from January. It’s a sobering thought when you realize many of our favorite 90s musicians are slowly retiring to heaven. What could possibly go wrong? Well, an awful lot. Firstly, Crosby’s contributions to rock made him an absolute legend, so a whole wave of artists is saddened. But also, we will never get any more new music from him.
The sentiment resonated with his former bandmate, Graham Nash. Nash broke the news telling the world that their favorite musician was still practicing for a show before he passed. He appeared on a podcast called Kyle Meredith With…
“He was rehearsing for a show to do in Los Angeles with a full band,” said Nash on the podcast. “After three days of rehearsals, he felt a little sick. And he’d already had COVID, and he had COVID again. And so he went home and decided that he would take a nap, and he never woke up. But he died in his bed, and that is fantastic,”
David Crosby’s Documentary
Nash also said how Crosby living up to being 80 was “astonishing.” With the current life expectancy levels paired up with Crosby’s liver issues. You may have expected the man to die a lot earlier, say about twenty years ago. At least, that’s what Nash thought. You may not have heard of a fantastic documentary made on our daytime legend. It rightfully chronicled all his struggles with life, health, and all things personal.
However, old fans may be familiar with a recent documentary titled remember my name. The documentary, directed by A.J. Eaton, showed our beloved rockstar in his rawest form. It talked about David Crosby’s regrets, fears, and so much more. The perfect watch for you if you’re a Crosby megafan.
His legend lives on for longer after Crosby last closed his eyes on the 18th of January, 2023. He also worked with The Lighthouse Band back in December 2022. The band included Michelle Willis, Becca Stevens, and Michael League. With them, Crosby released his own album, David Crosby & The Lighthouse Band: Live at the Capitol Theatre. You can also stream the album from platforms such as Spotify.
FAQ
Question: What did David Crosby say before he died?
Answer: Famous people and their famous last words, something you can never quite get enough of. Crosby had a column where he would answer questions for fans like you and us. Here’s what he told a fan as his last piece of advice: “If we quit trying, it all goes in the sh-utter.” What a massive man, what a massive heart.
Question: What illness did David Crosby have?
Answer: The COVID-19 virus was what ultimately claimed Crosby’s life. Even at the age of 81, Crosby died doing what he loved most. Making and performing your favorite songs.
Question: Did Phil Collins pay for David Crosby’s liver transplant?
Answer: Did you know? Phil Collins actually partially paid for David Crosby’s liver transplant back in 1994.
Question: How many biological children does David Crosby have?
Answer: David Crosby had two sons and two daughters. The sons include Django and James, and the daughters are Erika and Donovan. Everyone loves a man of the music and a man of the family.
