Cool, I predicted that a few weeks ago.

WoW. Th and then ten years later at 86. Hmm, dying twice is quite a feat I suppose

James Last has left the world at 76

Horst Brandstätter, the "father of Playmobil" inventor of the hoola hoop is dead at 81. http://www.businessinsider.com/afp-father-of-playmobil-dies-aged-81-2015-6?IR=T

If I remember correctly she starred in porno movies after her wrestling career was over, together with Sean Waltman. She looks horrible; well she never was a beauty.

Film director Helmut Dietl is no more. http://web.de/magazine/unterhaltung/tv-film/regisseur-helmut-dietl-tot-30545704

The Bushwhackers have definitely earned their place in the Hall of Fame, not like some of the other so calles "superstars" or people that are not even rasslers.

76-year-old "Musikantenstadl" host and Volksmusik ambassador Karl Moik died today. http://web.de/magazine/unterhaltung/stars/tod-moik-verneigung-karl-grossen-30539100

After looking again at some of the older death lists I noticed that a lot of famous people seem to die the year they are not in the list. Has anyone else noticed that?

This will probably cause another debate about safety in wrestling like it did when Owen Hart died, although in this case it's a completely different situation. How often do fatal accidents happen in wrestling? Since I only get WWE in Europe I have no idea about what happens in other federations.

How about Verne Gagne? He's 89 now and that's REALLY old for a wrestler.

How about Charlie Sheen?With all his scandals and excesses I wouldn't be surprised to see him die soon of alcohol poisoning or drug overdose.

Ah, okay. Why not rename the thread into "Dead Musicians" then?

Yeah, how to define pop music... To me it means music that's slower and less loud than rock music. Rock, metal, dance, techno, rap, amongst others I wouldn't qualify as pop music.

Personally I watch it mostly for lack of anything really good on TV, but it's true that "quality" is lacking.

I'm pretty sure most of the reality TV stars would do exactly the same thing, as long as they got good TV ratings and a lot of money. Reality TV should be banned.

If anything I'd have thought Faltley would die of spontaneous combustion or something like that due to the friction of his feet on the dance floor.

Question about this thread: With 'pop stars', do you mean only musicians who made pop music or does any kind of musician qualify?

He probably realized how much of an asshole he is and he offed himself. R not IP

Well, that's understandable. Boobs make the world go round.

Well, I'm sure that Putin is someone not many would really miss if he went the way of the dodo.

He had the tweet already written and as he collapsed to the ground, his head hit the "send" button. Obviously a big miss for the list. I wasn't aware that his health was bad enough to lead to such an early death. "Early onset-Alzheimers" can't be that bad alone, or can it? I've never read one of his books, but always wanted to. I've never known where to start... It doesn't really matter but the earlier ones tend to be better. Mort is often a good place. The Colour of Magic isn't unless you are obsessive about reading them in order. Wyrd Sisters is ano her good starting point. My fav is Masquerade. This one has really knocked the breath out of me. I like the novels featuring the Night Watch the most. Samuel "Sam" Vimes is so badass that Chuck Norris is his bitch

I wonder if it's because of the steroids that many of the wrestlers die so young. In the Ultimate Warrior's case it probably is. I miss the good old days when wrestlers didn't need to looks like pumped up models to be successful. I doubt shapeless people like Jerry Lawler, Adrian Adonis, Dusty Rhodes, Greg Valentine would even be allowed into the ring nowadays.

Maybe the first porn star? With a name like that there's not much choice for a career

Was Jerry Lawler's heart attack fake or real? If it was real he might be a good candidate for next year.
