 Youtube star Keenan Cahill has tragically passed away aged 27 The internet personality from Chicago, Illinois, made a name for himself lip-syncing to popular songs on the video-sharing platform. He first rose to fame back in 2010 with his rendition of Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream', which currently has a whopping 58 million views. Cahill went on to collaborate with a whole host of famous celebrities as guest artists on his channel, including but not limited to: Jennifer Aniston, 50 Cent, Tinie Tempah, Maroon 5, The Wanted, Justin Bieber and, of course, Katy Perry. The 27-year-old had Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome, a progressive condition that causes many tissues and organs to enlarge, become inflamed or scarred and eventually deteriorate. He underwent a number of treatments after being diagnosed at the age of one, including a bone marrow transplant in 1997 and a surgery to relieve intracranial tension. Earlier this month, he took to Instagram to explain to his followers that he would be undergoing open heart surgery on December 15. |

She was 93. Walters joined ABC News in 1976, becoming the first female anchor on an evening news program. Three years later, she became a co-host of "20/20," and in 1997, she launched "The View." In a career that spanned five decades, Walters won 12 Emmy awards, 11 of those while at ABC News. She made her final appearance as a co-host of "The View" in 2014, but remained an executive producer of the show and continued to do some interviews and specials for ABC News. |
