2016 needs to end, what a terrible year it has been.
RIP Carrie Fisher

Really sad - I remember watching the "original" Star Wars at the cinema 3 times when I was a little 'un - Princess Leia rocked.

Blues Brothers was another great one

I blame your puppy @broadblaster it's obviously feeding on the souls of the departed.

It is another sad passing.
Unfortunately because of the time in history where TV, Film and Music started becoming massive in the public eye, we are now seeing our heroes leaving us.No doubt people probably died just as much and maybe more often in the past but I think this is one of the reasons things seem more prevalent lately. Although I agree this year does seem to have been particularly bad.
It's always a sad moment when someone passes

I was only thinking that myself - for many of these ' celeb's ' they've packed more into their years than the majority of us ordinary mortals could hope or want to! So while it is sad, they've lived their lives to the fullest, as they saw fit at the time.

Spare a thought for the many people who haven't had their ' opportunities ' but because of circumstances beyond their control, are taken too young.

Thoughts go to all bereaved families and friends . . . . .

Ummm - if by "packing more into your years" you mean consuming huge quantities of illicit substances, then most likely yes. That's what I believe is responsible for causing so many of those "celebs" to die before their time.

Nail on the head there Dave, prince, george & carrie all had big class A drug problems, we all know what affects these drugs have on vital organs like the heart....& all 3 died due to heart problems.

Add Rick Parfitt to that list. At one point he had a reputed £1,000 a week cocaine habit along with a £500 a week Vodka bill. Plagued by heart trouble since a Quad bypass operation in 1997. Such was the talent of these individuals, we sometimes overlook and forgive their indiscretions. Ultimately, they might have paid the price for their lifestyles. May they all Rest in peace.
