Fisher argues that pop stars are not simply entertainers, but rather figures who embody the hopes and dreams of their fans. When a pop star dies, it is not just a loss of a celebrity, but a loss of a part of ourselves. This is why the deaths of pop stars often provoke such intense reactions from fans.

Fisher also examines the way in which pop stars continue to live on after their death. Through their music, their films, and their iconic images, pop stars become immortal. They become symbols of a particular time and place, and their legacy continues to inspire and influence fans for generations to come.

The Lost Legacy Of Forgotten Pop Stars

One of the most fascinating chapters in Fisher's book is his exploration of the lost legacy of forgotten pop stars. These are the singers, bands, and performers who once had a moment in the spotlight, but who have since faded into obscurity. Fisher tells the stories of these forgotten stars, and he explores the reasons why they were unable to sustain their success.

Fisher argues that the forgotten pop stars of the past are not simply relics of a bygone era. Rather, they are reminders of the ephemeral nature of fame and the fickle nature of the music industry. Their stories are a cautionary tale for all those who dream of achieving stardom.

The Enduring Legacy Of Pop Stars

Despite the fact that some pop stars are forgotten, others achieve a lasting legacy that endures for generations. Fisher examines the factors that contribute to a pop star's enduring legacy, and he argues that it is not simply a matter of talent or success. Rather, it is a combination of factors, including the star's personality, their impact on popular culture, and the way in which they have been remembered by their fans.

Fisher concludes his book by arguing that the afterlife of pop stars is a fascinating and complex phenomenon. It is a world of both hope and heartbreak, of triumph and tragedy. Through his exploration of the lives and deaths of pop stars, Fisher provides a unique and insightful look into the human condition.
