Tributes To Celebs That Pass

[Gav]

Very sad news to wake up to this morning Gordon, short battle with cancer, poor lass.

I had no idea she worked with Steve Wright and Simon Mayo on Radio 1 also, she'll be missed.

My thoughts are with her family.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I was shocked to hear the news and echo those thoughts to her family.

Obviously most will know that sadly the body of Emiliano Sala has been found still inside the plane that came down a fortnight ago. I realise that the Oceans are huge and that the search team did have a reasonable guess where to begin their search but I still find it mighty odd that flight MH 370 is still missing after nigh on 5 years.

 

[Drog]

We all know the face.

Peter Tork from The Monkees has passed away at 77.
Even though it isn't really my kind of music, I remember The Monkees and their songs from my youth. Probably due to their TV programmes.

[Drog]

Lots of tearful tweets from the luvvies of course but lets be honest dying at 97 isn't a tragedy is it?

 

[davebirch]

Ahh come on drog, she wasn't a bad sort in her day.

 

[Drog]

Dunno about you dave but tbh I don't rem her day. Doris was in her pomp before my time. Good voice though.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Said on the radio she was a Jehovahs Witness.

Niki Lauda has passed away at only 70.
Although it could have been at a much younger age if not for his remarkable recovery from that fire at the Nurburgring.

[Drog]

From a distance of course Lauda always seemed a nice bloke and displayed a lot of humility imo. He's suffered a lot of ill health according to that article.
