RIP pure legend and such a great drummer. I always liked his calm demeanour. He was the glue that held the Stones together. Somehow, even with age, I wouldn't have picked him as first to go in that band. Jagger once said the Stones would only continue if he, Richards and Watts were all in the band. Interesting to see what they will now decide to do.

I rarely create new topics, but shortly after his 86th birthday it`s really time to dedicate him his own thread on this page. Donald Sutherland is considered one of Hollywood's most esteemed actors, who appeared in more than 150 films throughout his career, showing no sign of slowing down with old age. The canadian actor rose to fame after starring in films like The Dirty Dozen, MASH, Klute, The Eagle has landed or Dont look Now and is familiar to a younger generation for the Hunger Games franchise. Unbelievable that he never won an Oscar for his work (only for his life's work). It's going to be a sad day when he will leave the stage of life, but unfortunately in last time he's been looking more and more frail and tired.

Yes, thanks. you`re right, I corrected it. Born in Australia, but at least he grew up in a family of german heritage, therefore not totally wrong in that thread.
