The Cathedrals of Europe are not dead but getting closer all the time. Since the end of World War II, Christianity is almost irrelevant for the majority of Europeans, especially in the northern countries. Most cathedrals and churches are nearly empty on any given Sunday. You are finding the same in the United States and Canada in the Episcopal Church, that has some of the finest cathedrals in the world! They are never full and could face financial hardhip in the near future! There is now a great North South divide-with the churches in Africa and Asia experiencing phenomenal growth, and the North where the opposite is occurring! It is likely that by 2050, many Lutheran and Episcopal Cathedrals could become museums and owned by the state!
If you mean the singing group The Cathedrals, then yes, three of the five who were last in the group have passed away - Glen Payne died of liver cancer in 1999, George Younce of kidney and heart disease in 2005, and Roger Bennett of leukemia in 2007.
