Seems like the Grim Reaper is working right the way to the end of the year
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38427459
though, considering their life style in their hey day, it's a wonder he made it so far

I grew up listening to Quo and loved them, even though, as Parfitt admitted, every song sounded the same.

They won't now the band is short a 'singer'

and Princess Leia (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38423963) seems to be in a bad way too :(
-
Seems he was admitted to hospital Thursday with complications to a shoulder injury,got some kind is these days no great ageof infection and died as a result.Given his quadruple heart bypass and his life style of many years ago there seems to me to be a slight touch of irony there.Still 68 is these days no great age.R.I.P.
-
Often called ''The three chord wonders'' but the Quo were listened to and followed by millions.
Sadly missed Rick.
R.I.P.

George Michael has just been added to the Grim Reapers list.
-
At this rate we are not going to have anyone left

George Michael has just been added to the Grim Reapers list.
Yes ... and still a week to go.
-
George Michael one of my wife's favourites, saw him live twice absolutely brilliant ..RIP George.
-
It was his last Christmas. RIP George :(
-
I reckon the Queen may not see 2017 :-X
-
what is it with the apparent hysteria surrounding the death of GM? He's dead ...... I'm over it already, though young at 53, it's not that much of a surprise given his hedonistic life style. :-X
-
We are all being hunted by time.
Happy new year!

Agreed.

Parfitt will never go down as a great but Quo are still the ultimate "get your old man on the dance floor and act like a cock when pissed" band ;D ;D
Pretty much everybody has made themselves look a arse out of trying to dance to Quo and sing along even though most can never remember the words ;D
Imo, never a proper rock band and should never be taken as such but deserve to be played at all party's if just for the comedy value of the video's the next day ;D ;D ;D
RIP Rick :(
As for George Michael ..............
Started off as a very shy boy who started a band with his ugly, talentless best mate from school because he was scared to get on the stage on his own.
Ended up selling 100 million records / cd's as a solo artist.
His music might not be your taste (or really mine if i'm honest) but when you get somebody of Aretha Franklin's talent banging on your door, you must be pretty good :y
Incredibly talented song writer and not a bad voice when it came down to it ............
Shame his "any hole is a goal" and "Charlie" addiction oppsed him up in the end :(
-
I reckon the Queen may not see 2017 :-X
What Elton John???:o :o ;D ;D

Apparently it wasn't heart failure that did for GM, he choked on a minature hero chocky, summat to do with a careless wispa

Same with that nice song about the lovely colour, Brown by the Stranglers ::) ;D ;D

Sad to hear that george has passed :( he seemed a tortured sole & shunned the cameras. In the nineties we got some of his best songs.
I think it was Autumn 1990 "Praying for time " was being played.
When I hear that song all the memories come flooding back.
The girl I was living with at the time threw a party for her older brother who was leaving for the gulf. One of my cousins was already out in Saudi with the airforce. Not knowing what Sadam was capable of, I can remember it being a scary & uncertain time.

Nana just goned too, aged 95...

I disagree - to a certain extent. In the early 70,s they were a proper rock band. Piledriver was an excellent album, for example.
They quickly turned into a parody of themselves though, and were deservedly, very uncool.
I quite enjoyed the recent aquostic stuff for some reason. Probably because Im also getting old. :)
George Michael was reportedly a crackhead, so maybe not that surprising his heart gave out.
His music wasn't my sort of thing at all, but theres no denying that in years gone by he was a very big talent.
I saw him perform at the 2012 closing ceremony, where he sang a new song ,which was the most long winded, tedious load of claptrap I had heard in years.

It's true what they say, you never know what's around the corner :( :(

-
As if they're not dropping off the perch fast enough another actress[admittedly one I don't recall hearing of]was found in her car shot dead in a suspected car jacking!
Let's get it right people! If you're going to mention/slag off SLady bitshorpe at least try and remember it is now[and has been for some years]in North Lincolnshire,not Humberside! :P ;D ;D

Too right ::)
They should count themselves lucky we have softened our stance and built a bridge for them ;D ;D
Note the barriers and pillboxes are on our side just in case they get a bit lairy and need to be sorted out ;)
In fact since we are the City Of Culture in a few days, random inspections of people crossing north and under the bridge will be carried out.
Things we will be looking for are ............
1/. Correct number of fingers and toes.
2/. Signs of web between these fingers and toes.
3/. Pictures in wallet of sister with lipstick on.
4/. Yellow strips down ones back.
Anybody found with these tell tail signs will be refused entrance and offered counselling / surgery for there illness / disability ;D ;D ;D

Some actor from the MASH American series has died, was never a fan of this but knew many who were. First " celeb" of the year by all accounts.
-
Bloody hell William Christopher who played Father Mulcahy died on the 31st and Wayne Rogers who played Trapper John died on the 1st. Both over 80 but still :o :o
-
Graham Taylor, ex England manager has just died of a heart attack RIP Graham
-
Now Gordon Kaye has gone.
-
And Overend Watts. He was Bass player with Mott the Hoople for those too young to know,
-
Now Gordon Kaye has gone.
Whilst sad, he had had 29 years he wasn't entitled to... Nearly died when a tree branch came through the windscreen during that hurricane...

Yes indeed,you can't dodge the bullet forever!

Jeremy Kyle can go any time he likes. I certainly won't miss the sanctimonious little shit.

Along with that annoying idiot on Radio 2 at lunchtime, who is clearly priming himself as a Daily Mail editor.

You leave Jeremy Kyle alone ::)
He is a great source of entertainment at 5 o'clock in the morning when working 12 hour night shifts ;D
Especially when one of the c unts you work with on a regular basis has been on twice ;D
The daft foooker wears it like a badge of honour too ::) :D

What was it this time ?
My old man has been banged up for four years but I'm about to drop a brown baby any day now. It could be any one of four big black men and my old man will kill me when he gets out of prison. ;D
-
Mary Tyler Moore can be added to the list.
-
John Hurt to be added now sadly,great actor :'(
-
Probably not a household name to most here, and certainly not one that is normally thought of as being a "celebrity" as he actually had talent, but . . . .
Deke Leonard. Welsh guitarist, singer, songwriter, and book writer. I used to see him play as a teenager, and still still in much later years. His books on life in the music business are funny and worth a read

Been travelling home all day. Just dipped into the thread. Sorry to hear your dad has gone to prison. Good behaviour might be out in two years. Try and be positive. Your dad wouldnt want you moping.
Re the baby thing, i always thought you were a man but hey ho . Good luck with the baby. I presume conception was enjoyable. :y sell your story to Hello! Perhaps.
