Sad news..........again.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Very sad, but of all the recent deaths perhaps not the most unexpected after her heart attack last week. Not a good few days to end a very sad year

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Drowned in moonlight strangled by her own bra

Another one who fought demons - lots of mental problems that someone should have helped her with instead of the drugs - must have been awful to go through all that shock treatment

RIP

And there's me thinking she never recovered after suffering a heart attack on a flight

Typical BBC news - Rick Parfitt dies and the story comes even after the Celtic match, Carrie Fisher it's main headline time, Rick was worth better than that imo

Give the BBC some credit Chris, Rick Parfitt never stole the plans for The Death Star and helped bring order to the galaxy.

You could argue that Fisher was in one of the most iconic and loved films ever that had a massive impact on many people . Where as Parfitt was in a band that no one under the age of 40 had heard of. And much as they were popular with some people , will hardly go down as one of the most culturally important bands of all time.

Or that I don't ever recall seeing a film she was in, but heard, and still hear Parfitt pretty much daily as I have since 1972!

Now now. Both should be celebrated. Both made people happy.

Think that sums it up - Fisher played one of the most prominent roles in one of the biggest movies that has ever been and also starring in three more in the series plus other massive movies making her one of the most well known female actors in the world. Would suggest that only a small percentage of the country knew who Rick Parfitt was.

But both will have their place in their respective areas history - and rightly so.
