Indeed. A lot of my sporting heroes have gone, many way too soon. Same with those from my childhood

John Ashton died over the weekend at the age of 78. The name will not mean much .... he was Taggart in Beverly Hills Cop. A truly iconic role.

Another elite sportsman dies at a relatively young age. Grew up watching him in that brilliant Dutch side of the 70's. Sad news.

One of that great Dutch side. Perhaps not the greatest record as a manager but a fantastic player who could run forever

Dutch internationals from those 1970s years included many great players. Ipswich were lucky to have Thijssen and Muhren when there weren't very many European players in Div 1.
Always great to watch Dutch football in that decade.

Awful news. No age.
My phone does breaking news, when it popped up last night I genuinely was shocked
My daughter is 22 and 1D were a massive part of her teenage years. Very much, the biggest band in her life. This one will not resonate with a lot on here, wrong era, but for those who have kids of a similar age it will definitely impact. Far too young,
If you ever want to see the impact of fame at a young age, the production line of the music industry with manufactured bands, you could do worse than watch the 1D film. Genuinely sad at times, they were treated as a commodity, nothing more.

Very sad and even more so that the media seem to be looking at a drugs angle. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn4vem0l5ldt
Let people get over the shock and then go through the due processes before any conjecture

Some people’s eyes light up when they see these people - the likes of Simon Fuller etc see them as nothing but money making machines and it’s never a surprise when you see them split up early or some have issues
Seems this young lad recently was served by his ex a court order and he was having some demons to battle and there is no doubt the leeches surrounding did nothing to help - a young lad has lost his dad

Both the same tbh - Fuller was one of the originals to market them like bit of meat

Terribly sad. A life lost way to young. Just so sad when drink and drugs get a hold. From the outside you'd think he had everything but clearly a human being struggling. Sad. RIP.

Tale as old as time.
Pink Floyd laid it all out bare in 1975 with Have a Cigar/Welcome to the Machine.
Both about the way the music industry is less than genuine towards its artists and sees them as mere commodities.
“Welll I’ve always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere.
The band is just fantastic that is really what I think, oh and by the way which one’s Pink…?”

Watched the Paloma Faith documentary. The Sony guy kept telling her everyone would forget her if she went and looked after her children. The pressure from this parasite was incredible.
I can only imagine it’s same old same old. Only now the artists royalties are less accessible due the stones and Beatles being absolutely minted it .. their record company was very unhappy

Great documentary on Sky about this album
Well done Sharon Osborne - "where was the music industry when you needed them"
