Since 1985, People Magazine has annually proclaimed the identity of the Sexiest Man Alive with much fanfare, adulation, and totes-adorbs photos. As that’s proven such a lucrative endeavor, this October the celebrity-tabloid will be launching its new Sexiest Man Dead issue.
The maiden edition will showcase the Artist formerly existing as Prince as the face of postmortem sexiness, just a decade after his untimely demise. Along with a recent photo-shoot, the tabloid asked some hard-hitting questions about the afterlife, plans for “the artist’s” future, and his views on the ongoing opioid epidemic.
Courtney Panzute, Director of Celebrity Morbidity for the magazine says this collectors’ edition is sure to be a hot commodity and a boost to waning magazine sales as well.
“Studies show that celebrity deaths are four hundred times more tragic than regular people’s deaths,” she explained. “So, it stands to reason that exploiting them should be four hundred times more profitable.”
Along with Prince’s sexiest corpse shoot and article, this month’s edition will also report on the perplexing paternity of Prince Harry and the failed reboot of Charlie’s Angels due to deceased Angel, Farah Fawcett’s, recalcitrance in signing onto the project.
