- Alan Rickman
- Glenn Frey
- Terry Wogan
- Frank Kelly
- George Kennedy
- Harper Lee
- Tony Warren
- George Martin
- Keith Emerson
- Paul Daniels
- Ronnie Corbett
- Denise Robertson
- David Gest
- Victoria Wood (a special mention to Victoria - I miss you :emot-crying:)
- Prince
- Carla Lane
- Muhammad Ali
- Anton Yelchin
- Caroline Aherne
- Kenny Baker
- Gene Wilder
- Alexis Arquette
- Bobby Vee
- Pete Burns
- Arnold Palmer
- Jean Alexander
- Leonard Cohen
- Robert Vaughn
- Andrew Sachs
- Peter Vaughan
- Greg Lake
- Ian McCaskill
- Zsa Zsa Gabor
- Rick Parfitt
- George Michael
- Liz Smith
- Carrie Fisher
Sorry for anyone I've missed and please feel free to add but this list is already far too long. Please let this be it for the rest of 2016.

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Nice thought Pipkin.
We always lose to many at Christmas time.
Seems to be daily at the moment. :scared15:
But the 'Stones' keep rocking on and on and on....

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
just saw that richard adams the watership down author has passed away as well, he was 96.
I know as we get older we see more recognisable names dying but this is the worst year I can ever remember.
I hope they`ve got david attenborough in a safe place, I love that man and everything he does is magical. need him to live to about 135 at least.

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Fidel Castro survived 150 assassination attempts, but even he couldn't survive 2016.
David Bowie was a bit of a hero of mine and I still can't quite get my head around him being dead. I really won't be sorry to see the back of this year.
-
Re: Gone but not forgotten!
It's been a terrible year, losing so many great people. It's bad enough when they're older but David Bowie, George Michael, Victoria Wood, Caroline Aherne and Alan Rickman. Awful.

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
hard to keep track who has died this year, even my sister boyfriend was struggling to remember all the names.
-
Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Just saw that Carrie Fisher passed :(
RIP
Positive thougts

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Yeah still gutted about Bowie. He is my absolute hero and miss him everyday.
It all started with another of my heroes last year, Rik Mayall. What a man.
-
Re: Gone but not forgotten!
of all of them it was caroline aherne that really got to me, she was battling various cancers for 10 years or more and always had a sad look in her eyes no matter what she was doing as if she was worried about something, even back in her mrs merton days.
very scant consolation but she was hilarious, touching, real, and probably meant more to people than she ever realised and her work on the royle family brought me to tears more than once.
and rik mayall, I still remember when the young ones started how naughty it felt to be watching it, then his big break in Drop dead fred, and the risk they took letting him read jackanory which went incredibly well because of his amazing delivery. just a force of nature.
all logic and rationale to one side, I`ll be very glad to see the back of this year.

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
George Michael. What a great voice. Alan Rickman what a good actor. Love Actually. So many memories of all the departed you mentioned Pikin x

Former President Jimmy Carter is 92.
As is the first George Bush.
Think Henry Kissinger is still pretty active at 93.
My grandma just turned 90.

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Liz and Phil are still going strong in their nineties although I'm sure the Royal Obituaries have been on standby for years

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Doris Day is 94, so is my Auntie who is still smoking and drinking :D
Dick Van Dyke is 90

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
that made me laugh carnation, one of our neighbours has just turned 85, widowed twice and we see her in the shop buying gin and smokes. if you ever watched it she is the double of lizzie from `prisoner cell block h` and swears quite happily at people in the street or just to herself.
she`s one of those who`ll die when she`s good and ready, I don`t think even the grim reaper would get the better of her :D
-
Re: Gone but not forgotten!
I know it's amazing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my auntie and she can give a good argument too. She's really is on the ball. My gran was the same, so I can sort of see my future. Visions of 'The Lady in Van' spring to mind. :D
-
Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Another that passed was actress Florence Henderson.
But still going at 101 is actress Patricia Morison.
-
Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Im still gutted about David Bowie, partly because he was in a renaissance regards his musical career and I've loved the majority of his output over the years.
I'm guessing that a partial reason 2016 has had so many celebrity departures is that the heroes of our childhood are that bit older year by year and maybe there are more celebrities these days ?
Anyway, we've lost some huge creatives this year
-
Re: Gone but not forgotten!
I saw Bowie years ago. It was outside and pouring rain. The second he came on the rain stopped and the skies opened up. It was weird. He was in a bright orange jump suit. Fabulous!
Another that passed was comedian Gary Shandling.
But Jerry Lewis is still going at 90.

Re: Gone but not forgotten!
Blimey, you've been busy FMP and listed so professionally. :D
Presently in the UK, we are been bombarded with George Michael Songs since his death and Rick Parfitt has taken a back seat in memory lane since then.
This is what I hate about the media. Every two or three songs on the radio is a GM. They never bothered playing his songs before this happened. :shrug:
