fiza Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Singer Prince dies suddenly at 57 - BBC News So sad.
elsiegee40 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Another one! Can we start 2016 again? It's not been even remotely amusing 2
Sheridan Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 It's slightly unreal the rate that well known people are dying far too early. 1
twin--turbo Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Rather morbid but I have Ken Dodd Pegged on my list to go next and he keeps getting usurped . He is in town in a few weeks so may help him on his merry way... Sad that another Gr8 icon of our time has passed away and only 57! Lemmy started this slide, I bet if he knew who was to follow in just 4 months he would be astounded! TT
SpuffMonkey Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Rather morbid but I have Ken Dodd Pegged on my list to go next and he keeps getting usurped . He is in town in a few weeks so may help him on his merry way... Bruce Forsyth is top of my list!
twin--turbo Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 He's dead already, it's a cyborg operating him.. Vick Wood was a curve ball just like "Symbol" .. Although one is a much greater loss .. My Dad knew Julie walters and her brother Tom at school. The old 6 Degrees separation rears its head... TT
korifugi Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I'm starting to suspect that George R. R. Martin is the author behind 2016 (copied from The Oatmeal) 1
unixman_again Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Two other stars have gone too : Soul singer Percy Sledge dies aged 74 - BBC News Ada the PG Tips chimp dies at Twycross Zoo - BBC News

Bagpuss66 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 This may explain why a lot of famous people are dying, but then again a lot of non-famous people die each day! Why so many celebrities have died in 2016 - BBC News 1
Duranis Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Really sad to hear this. I loved Prince growing up and his music still sounds fresh and amazing today. If I was a celebrity the was famous in the '80s I would be pretty worried right now that I'm either going to die or get investigated for sexual offenses any time now.
casey Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Another person who has been overshadowed by the more high profile deaths is Guy Hamilton the film director. His death is less of a surprise at the age of 93, but he directed Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live and let Die and The man with the Golden Gun as well as other non-Bond films. 2016 is a grim year for the entertainment industry. (and its only April)
unixman_again Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Percy Sledge died in 2015 So why was the BBC reporting it today? Time warp? Has it finally filtered through to the news desk? Who knows!
LeMarchand Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 ...and yet Tony Blair still lives . No-one has mentioned Chyna on these boards as far as I can tell. Not a fan of wrestling myself, but surely there must be peeps here who are.

Arreks Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Never heard of him until he died... Her I'd never heard of Victoria Wood tbh..
elsiegee40 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) 2016 to end early... http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/international/2016-to-end-early-20160422108204 2016 is to be brought to an early end before anybody else dies. The decision, which means that New Year’s Eve is on April 30th, has been taken at the highest level following the deaths of Victoria Wood and Prince on consecutive days. Joseph Turner, head of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, said: “It’s irregular, but 2016 appears to be a rare phenomenon, occurring only once or twice a millennium, which we in the timekeeping business call ‘a total bastard.’ “We managed to get a look at what else it had in store and well, let’s just say my only worry is that January 1st 2017 – a week on Sunday – is still too far away...

eyetea Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 So why was the BBC reporting it today? Time warp? Has it finally filtered through to the news desk? Who knows! Was it from their website? If it was on their "Most Popular" part, it's not to do with the date!

jinnantonnixx Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 ...and yet Tony Blair still lives . Celebrities are dying in the wrong order.
6Foot2 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Celebrities are dying in the wrong order. 'Ordinary' people are dying in no particular order.
DavePa Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Whilst the South West trains tribute is a nice gesture the slightly OCD part of me wishes that they had got it right - if the R and the I are followed by a fullstop then so should the P be! RIP or R.I.P. but not R.I.P Guess it could be there wasn't enough space.
