(Sorry. I didn’t realise that there was already a thread on the social board when I started this one.)

Horrible news. I wish this year could have ended ages ago. The worst year ever.

RIP George Michael

As much as I’m starting to find the whole “bugger off 2016” thing a bit tedious, I can’t deny that just the sound of “twenty-sixteen” has a certain eerie historical resonance to it already. And the year isn’t even over yet.

RIP George Michael, too. A real shock.

One of the first celebrity deaths that really got to me was Joe Strummer, just before Christmas - James Brown too, iirc…

yeah like Dimebag on Lennon’s anniversary, this came on James Brown’s.

Huge shock, and it feels a bit like some of my youth died with him.

My wife’s an enormous fan, so it’s been basically in mourning/celebration of George Michael aka “Horhay Miguel” as my wife calls him, ever since seeing the news on Sunday night,

3 years to the day of his death, now his sister dies as well :cry:
