Lemmy, Bowie, Alan Rickman, earlier today Dale Griffin from Mott the Hoople and now Glenn Frey. Enough's enough :(

An awful month. WTF January! Another legend from my youth gone and at a relatively young age.
RIP Glenn Frey. Thanks for standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona.

Would be a half decent band if you had the line up a month ago.

That one or Lying Eyes for me.

RIP

Smuggler's Blues from his solo career is pretty darn good too.

Take it easy for me.
I think it's just a fact that we're getting older.
Gotta live for today and live in this moment.

Indeedy. They were all in their late sixties (save for Lemmy who was a couple of days over 70 and probably helped himself on his way out following his diagnosis, I suspect) and three of them had cancer. Frey died of "complications arising from rheumatoid arthritis, colitis and pneumonia" (Jeez!) and Buffin had Alzheimer's

That's probably just a fairly average sample of those who die in their late sixties, sad to say. They just happen to have been famous to varying degrees and to have died in a little cluster, at least from our narrow point of view. (I doubt that many under 50 who are mourning the loss of Bowie, Lemmy or Frey will have much of a clue who Buffin was, or Rickman aside from his Snape role.)

I'm sure a fair few of us under the age of 50 had seen films like Die Hard or Dogma, Micky. I take your point on Buffin - I only knew who he was because of love of music!

January claims another one. RIP Sir Terry Wogan.

I thought it was physically impossible to die twice. Cocker died in 2014 !
