"FUCK FUCK FUCK I'M DYING I CAN FEEL THE FLUID IN MY LUNGS CHOKING ME TO DEATH I'M REALLY SCARED AND FEEL IN PURE AGONY OH GOD SOMEBODY SAVE ME" said Gambon calmly.

Dead. That's a kick in the stomach. What a legend.

Miguel de Miguel Montañés dead at 102.

Maybe we could, you know, just for clarity and news updates, put stuff relating to Springsteen here? Just a thought.

That medical condition known as 'being a fucking minger who doesn't brush his teeth'.

He of course had a corner named after him on old Top Gear's track because he nearly rolled the car on his first go and bounced way off the road on his second. He was bloody funny in this interview:

4th drop from last years list to die.

Coolio died on this day a year ago, aged 59. - Coolio's real name was Artis Ivey, and his rap name originated when he was a teenager- people called him "Coolio Iglesias" (a tribute to Julio Iglesias), with him dropping the second part. He also grew up in Compton, California- notably where NWA got its start. - Coolio made his first song in 1987, and joined the rap group WC and the Maad Circle in 1991. He went solo in 1994 after signing a deal with Tommy Boy Records. His debut album featured "Fantastic Voyage", which peaked at no. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year. - Coolio's signature song, however, is "Gangsta's Paradise"- he wrote it for the movie Dangerous Minds in 1995, and was his only song to top the Hot 100 chart (3 weeks)- Billboard also listed it as the Song of the Year. Notably, he would start beef with Weird Al Yankovic following the release of his parody "Amish Paradise" in 1996 (Weird Al got the OK from his record label, but not Coolio himself)- Yankovic would write an apology letter, and the two would be on good terms by 2006, with Coolio openly regretting his disapproval by 2014. - Coolio would sing the theme song of the Nickelodeon show Kenan and Kel, which ran from 1996 to 2000: - Elsewhere on TV, Coolio would often appear as himself (or fictionalized versions of himself) in shows such as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Duckman, and Gravity Falls. He also voiced Kwanzaa-bot in four episodes of Futurama, which ended up being his final role (the episode "I Know What You Did Next Xmas", released in August of 2023, features a dedication to him at the end of the episode). - Coolio was cremated after his death- some of his ashes were put in jeweled necklaces for his family to wear.

reading how most of the people here know one of the greatest stage actors of all time through his HP roles only hurts even more than his passing. Well, both Dumbledores now gone...

Seeing all the main cast of Harry Potter movies gone is tearful.

I’m afraid that soon we’re going to loose Maggie Smith too, she is already 88 years old.

Paul Rodgers, formerly of Bad Company and Free, is looking great here. However, he has revealed 11 minor and 2 major strokes in recent years. So possibly, could go at any moment.

Done! We really must have posted simultaneously. BTW I love Dare, but the D-Sides version is SOOooo much better than the odd version we are asked to vote on (the single).

The birthday celebrations are moved a day ahead so that it doesn't collide with the likely government shutdown: https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/nation/2023/09/27/jimmy-carter-99th-birthday-celebrations-moved-government-shutdown/70983598007/ Is the government shutdown followed by a Jimmy shutdown?

Apparently some Polish ministers want Canada to extradite him and have "taken steps" to effect it.
