Default People who survived 2016 - with surprise and/or relief

In the relief but fortunately not much surprise department:
George R R Martin (both the old gods and the new would have laughed at taking him away).

In the relief department, unless you are a rabid anti-royalist and think we don't have enough change and turmoil going on:
Jolly unsporting of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, to suffer a "heavy cold" and miss multiple public appearances in the last couple of weeks of 2016. But she made it through.

In the we've-given-up-being-surprised department, Keith Richards. Iggy Pop. Charlie Sheen. Hmm, lessons for long life there?

Who else?
