Celebs who’ve passed

[IanM]

Motty was the guvnor. Irreplaceable.

 

[Golfmmad]

Very sad to hear this. He was the font of all football knowledge.
Will be much missed.

 

[cliveb]

Wayne Shorter is gone.
I'm not really that up on sax players, but get the impression that this is up there with losing Jeff Beck.
Mind you, Wayne was 89, so not as much of a shock.

Mystic Meg now.

Not a subject I'm interested at all, but a well known background figure from my youth. Think she might have had a column in the Sunday magazine with the News of the World that my mum liked (whilst I enjoyed doing the massive crossword at the back)

Wonder if she saw it coming

Wonder if she saw it coming

Well, I'm sure she predicted it would happen at some point

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Lance Reddick, only 60. For those needing to check Google, he was the concierge in the John Wick films, the chief of police in Bosch. He was also in The Wire, didn't watch that.

An imposing presence on screen with a great tone in his voice. Too young at 60.

Used to enjoy his Radio 2 show on a Sunday night when travelling for work until Radio 2 got rid.
Sad news.

So S Club 6 then,

So S Club 6 then,

I was at Glastonbury when Michael Jackson died.

The next day some bright spark was selling “Jackson 4” T-shirts.

 

[Orikoru]

So S Club 6 then,

Just a few weeks ago when they announced they were reforming I was looking at the pictures going "that guy wasn't in S Club 7 was he??" - he looked about 20 years older than all the others. And now out of the blue, he's died. So strange, he wasn't actually very old at all, but they've not revealed the cause I don't think. I did wonder and hope he hadn't gone the same way as Caroline Flack, potentially getting some negative comments from those reunion photos.

Ex Strictly judge Len Goodman aged 78. Not a programme I watched. RIP.

Ex Strictly judge Len Goodman aged 78. Not a programme I watched. RIP.

Very sad. Met him several times at the British Par 3 event and interviewed him in 2021. Always a true gent and funny and kind.

 

[Neilds]

Ex Strictly judge Len Goodman aged 78. Not a programme I watched. RIP.

Best judge on the show. Stopped watching shortly after he left as the new 'judges' just want o be seen - standing up and clapping performances, not impartial and inflating the scores. The new ones want to be seen and heard and think the show is about them

 

[IanM]

Len was my cousin's godfather. A real nice guy and total gent. Sad news.

 

[3offTheTee]

So sorry to say this but Dame Edna” Les Patterson passed away @the weekend. saw the show in London. very clever.

RIP once again, very sad news.

I’ve always enjoyed listening to Len Goodman, he came across as a warm and funny guy. Post a link to the interview if you still have it please @HomerJSimpson
