Actually, not a bad choice to consider for the Deathlist at all.

Ironic he died so close to Christmas like Kirsty MacColl.
What's ironic about it?
Isn't it ironic?
It's like prog rock - in a psychedelia thread!

Utter brilliance. I await the next 14 with baited breath.
He actually got George Michael right!
He got King Bumboil of Thailand as well
He sure did, but of those two, that was by far the easier one to predict.

Please don't put Gazza on the 2017 DeathList. Sure, he might die, but so might any other number of people. The truth is there are much better picks.

Stan Lee will be on my list. Definitely notable enough having created many famous characters, and no doubt old enough to die without warning. At 94 you can just drop dead anytime without warning pretty much.

So can somebody delete/merge this thread?
It's redundant. We already have these two:

There seems to be at least 3 different threads serving the same purpose:

I will be posting my shadow list for 2017 soon, but am just making some final tweaks at the moment.

Well ya did stuff your team with a bunch of nobodies. The Deathlist wouldn't add people like Hooker or Feek.
Feb 10 scorecard:The Committee are amateurs.
I guarantee both 6 hits in 6 weeks as well as more hits than DL or I won't post 2017.
While I posted my list with actual SICK people they'll be running out hackneyed popular names.
SirC
SirCreep 5
Amateur Committee 1
They had Ruby Muhammad in 2007...

I got 13/50. Was ahead by 3 but Liz Smith and Richard Adams reduced the deficit to 1.
That's not bad - this past week has been quite shockingly fast with the deaths of Rick Parfitt, George Michael and Carrie Fisher making the deaths of poor old 90-somethings Liz Smith and Richard Adams look like non-events in comparison...

Pretty solid list you got there, will have significant overlap with my own personal 2017 list for sure.
-
The former PM and President of Portugal Mario Soares is in a deep comma and critically ill.The prognosis is said to be bleak.He's bound to be an early hit in 2017 if he hangs on that far.Be mad not to have him on the list !
Any news links?
-
Poor Richard (yes, I know that's the name of a font) - his death has been kind of overshadowed by the amount of big name deaths in the past 24 hours...
Can't be helped!
-
So how did we all do?
With 3 days left of 2016, I scored 18/50. The only hit the committee got that I didn't get was Liz Smith. Admittedly, a few of my picks were possibly not UK obitable, but they definitely died.
Although it's pretty amazing given people like George Michael and Carrie Fisher have been dying, yet apparently the likes of Peter Sallis and Billy Graham will last the year. Anyway...
We should use this thread to post our own personal list of picks for 2017 starting January 1st (not before)!

Deathlist is a great place to discuss culture - after all, famous people who die are people who were famous for a reason in that they contributed something to the world
I think this one just squeezes into the 2016 awards category which is the ' No shit Sherlock' award.
Well I don't know - some people might come on here and assume this is some kind of "sick site about wanting people to die". It's not. There's a big difference between wanting people to die and wanting to predict death correctly
-
In no particular order I see the following going in 2017 (maybe one in 2016, though time is a ticking): Kirk Douglas, Della Reese, Charlie Sheen, Colin Firth, Olivia de Havilland, Billy Graham, Herman Wouk, Bob Dole, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Barbara Bush, Fats Domino, Desmond Tutu, Glenn Campbell, Steven Hawking, Jake Lamotta, King Michael of Romania, Greg Allman, Chas Bono, Rodney Alcala (Serial Killer), Carrie Fisher, Shannon Doherty, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Ozzie Osbourne and Robert Mugabe,
Colin Firth? Seriously, why?
Because he looks like crap and has lost a lot of weight. He looks like death warmed over. There is something wrong healthwise. Noticed it also in his last Jones movie as well. Now he looks even worse. Saw a picture of him just recently. Not good.
Really? I wasn't aware of that.
Still don't think he's likely to die soon though.

Baker has COPD
Oh well, that doesn't sound too good for him then! Plus he's pretty old too, so stands a fair chance of dying in 2017...

I would like to see more musicians on Deathlist next year, so here's my list of people who might not make 2018
Ginger Baker
John Wetton
Willie Nelson (first three are from Creep)
Brian Wilson
Chuck Berry
Little Richard
Outside bets but still possible
Keith Richards
Bob Dylan
Gregg Allman
Jimmy Page
Shane McGowan
I know. Don't trust druggies (look at Gasciogne) but some of these must be on their last legs.
Wetton may plan to tour in 2017, but he is definitely not out of the red. Would not be at all surprised if the cancer finished him off later in 2017.
Is Ginger Baker ill, or just old?
-
Bruce Forsyth to die on Dec 31st to round off an incredible year in the world of celebrity deaths.
-
Few days late. It finally happened!
-
Well, 2016 has taken the great and the good. Maybe 2017 will take the bad, the very bad and the downright nasty. Brady, Peter Tobin, Norman Tebbit....
Josef Fritzl, Thomas Mair, Anders Breivik, Ian Watkins, Ian Huntley, Rolf Harris, Dennis Nilsen...
And what did Norman Tebbit do that was so bad? Did he do anything worse than what the IRA did in the 80s?
Nigel Farage
in DeathList Forum
Posted
As I write this, we are now in the closing hours of 2016, and what a year it's been - the news has dominated by celebrity deaths, terrorism, and of course the election of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote and the as yet unknown consequences of these political developments. The most significant thing to happen in the UK in the year 2016 was of course the vote to leave the European Union, and without Nigel Farage and UKIP, it is highly unlikely that the whole Brexit thing would ever have happened in the first place, as Cameron gave in to pressure to allow a referendum.
Now whatever your opinions on Farage, although the man may only be 52 years old, he is well worth watching from a Deathlist perspective. Reasons include:
He survived testicular cancer in 1986 at the age of 24. As a result, he only has one testicle.
He survived a plane crash in 2010. Of course he lived, but this can't have done his body much good. He also survived a car crash in 1985.
The man is a heavy smoker and drinks daily. This can't be good for his health at all.
Although he has now retired as leader of UKIP, he had a high profile and high stress political job for many years. Being a controversial politician who is despised by many is likely to have increased his stress levels.
He has previously said that he has got the body of a 70 year old due to the plane crash, the stress of his job, and drinking and smoking, and being a cancer survivor.
Particularly after the Brexit vote, he can't go out in public without a bodyguard due to the very real risk of being physically assaulted or even assassinated - hell, if it could happen to someone as innocuous as Jo Cox, surely a more controversial and influential figure like Farage is a much more of a target?
Do I think Farage is likely to die next year? No, I do not. Do I think he may well die within the next 10-15 years? It really isn't that unlikely at all.
I welcome your thoughts...
