Celebs Who Died In 2026

After decades of good-natured jokes about being indestructible, Chuck Norris, action star and “Walker, Texas Ranger” actor, died at age 86 — just over a week after celebrating his final birthday.

The heartbreaking news of Norris’ passing came in a March 20 Instagram post shared by his family. “It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning,” their statement began. They declined to give the official cause of death, noting that they would prefer for that to remain private, but went on to add, “Please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.” Norris was hospitalized the day prior to his passing, with TMZ reporting that he’d required emergency care for an undisclosed medical issue while in Hawaii celebrating his birthday.

Speaking of his birthday, Norris poked fun at his “tough guy” reputation in an Instagram video that day, which saw him spar with an opponent before switching to a selfie video where he explained, “I don’t age — I level up.” It was a testament to the actor’s sense of humor, and we hope his family found some peace in the comments left by his fans once he did pass. “Chuck Norris didn’t die, life got scared and ran away. RIP legend,” wrote one. Another quipped, “G-d needed a new bodyguard.” Others were more heartfelt, like one person who lauded the family’s tribute to the late star, which had highlighted him as not just a star, but as “the heart of our family.” “Imagine getting to the end of your life and having beautiful words like this written about you,” a fan wrote. Norris certainly was loved.

After an ABBA album was successfully pressed into one of the first CDs made in 1982, this led to a memorable yet brief era of CDs dominating physical media. As the 2000s introduced people to palm-sized MP3 players and eventually, streaming platforms, the transition from physical to digital media has left many discs to collect dust. Not only was the CD rendered obsolete, a lot of stuff meant for CDs were also phased out, such as built-in CD players in cars, and even furniture like CD racks and cabinets.
