What is it with American stars? So many plan a tour or a big show in Britain, or get a deal for their own TV show on British TV, then die just before it happens.

I was reading the Sunday supplement from a friend's newspaper yesterday. Although it was given away in last Sunday's paper, it was printed at the beginning of the week, before Joan Rivers had died. In it there was an interview with her (to publicise what was going to be her "upcoming British tour") and rather prophetically, the interviewer commented on her age and said "This could genuinely be the last interview she does."
