In a nostalgic reflection on the music scene of the 1980s, a recent video from Hollywood Celebrity explored the lives and careers of 30 renowned singers from that iconic decade, updating fans on their status as of 2025. The tribute not only highlights the extraordinary talent of these artists but also serves as a poignant reminder of the toll time takes on even the brightest stars.

Among the featured artists, Whitney Houston, who captivated audiences in 1985 at the age of 22, tragically passed away at 48 in 2012 due to accidental drowning. Similarly, George Michael, who was just 22 in 1985, succumbed to heart and liver disease in 2016, leaving behind a legacy marked by his soulful voice and impactful hits. Aretha Franklin, the “Queen of Soul,” was 38 in 1980 and passed away from advanced pancreatic cancer in 2018 at 76.

The video also highlights the enduring presence of artists like Bruce Springsteen and Madonna. Springsteen, now 75, continues to resonate with fans, while Madonna, at 66, remains a symbol of resilience and creativity. Other notable mentions include Elton John, aged 77, and Phil Collins, 73, both of whom continue to contribute to the music industry in various capacities.
