French icon Brigitte Bardot, 91, died Dec. 28, leaving three living figures from Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
French actress Brigitte Bardot, 91, died on December 28, 2025, reducing the number of living individuals mentioned in Billy Joel’s 1989 song “We Didn’t Start the Fire” to three: Chubby Checker, Bob Dylan, and Bernhard Goetz.
Bardot, the last surviving woman on the list, was a 1950s icon and later a leading animal rights activist.
The song, which topped the Billboard Hot 100, references 59 historical figures and events from 1949 to the late 1980s.
Checker and Dylan, both 84, are celebrated musicians, while Goetz, 87, is known for a 1984 subway incident.
The list, though unofficial, remains a cultural touchstone for fans tracking its evolving status.
