How long do hyper giants live?
Hyper giants live very short lives. Blue hyper giants end up as Wolf-Rayet stars most of the time.
Which stars have the shortest lives?
Massive stars, such as blue supergiants and Wolf-Rayet stars, have the shortest lives because they burn through their fuel much faster due to their intense nuclear reactions. These stars can live for only a few million years before ending in a dramatic supernova explosion.

Why is a black hole considered an oddity in the universe?
Considering the other oddity's in the Universe; Neutron stars, pulsars, Wolf Rayet stars, magnetar or even hypernovas, I don't think black holes are that odd.
What is a Wolf-Rayet star?
A Wolf-Rayet star is a massive star greater than 20 Suns, which is losing mass rapidly by means of a very strong stellar wind, with speeds up to 2000 km/s.While our own Sun loses approximately 10−14 solar masses every year, Wolf-Rayet stars typically lose 10−5 solar masses a year.Wolf-Rayet stars are very hot, with surface temperatures in the range of 25,000 Kelvin to 50,000 Kelvin.The best known, and most visible, example is Gamma 2 Velorum which is a bright star visible to those located south of 40 degrees northern latitude.See related link for more information.
