In principle the light from some stars takes a long time to arrive so the star might have disappeared and we would not know about it until the last piece of light reached us and then stopped.

It's highly unlikely for the local stars we can see with the naked eye, but not impossible.

Because we are observing the stars as they *where* not as they are now.If we look in the night sky, we see stars, some are close, some are further away.If we view, say Betelgeuse, we are seeing it as it was 640 years ago, because that is how far away from us it is in light years. For all we know it may have exploded as a supernova 639 years ago, but we won't know for another year.So the stars you are viewing in the night sky, is what a star looked like, depending on the distance from us.
