Christopher Maboulou was a French-Congolese professional footballer who played as a winger or as a forward. On March 21, 2014, a controversy broke out about him during the meeting against SM Caen. While Caen leads 1-0 in the 94th minute of play, a free kick from Nasser Chamed is deflected from the hand by Christopher Maboulou. At first, the goal is awarded by referee Christian Guillard and then refused. The player and the staff are indignant at this decision, the referee validates the goal again, a scenario never seen in the history of French football. This controversy will have such an impact that Christopher Maboulou is taken in dislike by many chroniclers like Pierre Ménès who will accuse Maboulou of being "a cheater" and will be constantly hissed by all the other stadiums. Despite his official apologies, he will be suspended 3 games for his gesture. This gesture, which will not avoid the club's relegation to National, obscures his good season, which sees him participate in 32 league games (28 starts), score 10 goals and deliver 3 assists. He died of cardiac arrest during a match between friends in Montfermeil.

On 10 January 2016, two days after his 69th birthday and the release of the album Blackstar, Bowie died from liver cancer in his New York City apartment. He had been diagnosed 18 months earlier but had not made the news of his illness public. The Belgian theatre director Ivo van Hove, who had worked with the singer on his Off-Broadway musical Lazarus, explained that Bowie was unable to attend rehearsals due to the progression of the disease. He noted that Bowie had kept working during the illness. Bowie's producer Tony Visconti wrote: He always did what he wanted to do. And he wanted to do it his way and he wanted to do it the best way. His death was no different from his life – a work of art. He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it. He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us. For now, it is appropriate to cry. Following Bowie's death, fans gathered at impromptu street shrines. At the mural of Bowie in his birthplace of Brixton, south London, which shows him in his Aladdin Sane character, fans laid flowers and sang his songs. Other memorial sites included Berlin, Los Angeles, and outside his apartment in New York. After news of his death, sales of his albums and singles soared. Bowie had insisted that he did not want a funeral, and according to his death certificate he was cremated in New Jersey on 12 January. As he wished in his will, his ashes were scattered in a Buddhist ceremony in Bali, Indonesia.
