Barker was able to add in American astronaut John Glenn on Thursday just after his death was announced. Hit him up on Twitter if there are any big ones he's missed and he might be able to add them in.

Let's leave that zoo gorilla out of this.

The collage is heavy on British celebs, so some of the departed folks from this side of the pond are likely left out. Barker is still missing Merle Haggard, for one. He'll make sure to add him on the next go-round.

Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister died on Dec. 28, 2015 but he's routinely included on the list of celebrity dead for 2016 because he passed away so late in the previous year.

Barker wrote about the experience of creating a viral image on his Tumblr page. It’s food for thought for anyone thinking of making a meme that will crack the internet. He jokes that if dies between now and the end of the year someone will add him into the collage.

“Unless there's a massive one in the next few weeks I'll probably leave it and do a big final update at the end of the year,” Barker said Friday. “I shouldn't feel so bad about all the people I haven't included but I do.”

The photo has been very popular in its various forms. Barker began creating the collage the night of the U.S. presidential election and once he posted it on Tumblr it took off.

“It has hit 2 million impressions now, which is pretty massive considering the day before I posted it I only got 46 impressions,” he says. “I didn't intend to keep updating it but people kept begging me to and eventually I was swayed.”

The death that hurt Barker the most this year was David Bowie, he says.

“That's the only one that made me cry.”

Barker asks that any outlet or user that posts the photo credits him and if they are so inclined, make a donation to the Jo Cox Memorial Fund.
