I will disagree. Classics do not just become classics after the author is dead.
Star Wars is a classic and the writers are not dead. The Harry Potter series is a classic and Rowling is not dead.
Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California are classic songs and most who worked on them are not dead.
There are many many more examples that could be given.
