I think we need a professional go player. I mean there's always at least one on the "Deaths in 2017" page, and it'd increase our popularity in those all-important eastern Asian markets.

Sad day for Chomsky.

Let's not forget Big Cass's contribution to hip-hop beat history:

Never played for Argentina in a World Cup, only at the Copa America.

He certainly had a heavy impact on one British fan.

Bad day for Bobs.

Finally, a post-Brexit trading partner for the UK!

This fake Twitter account (Aretha Frankiinn) is behind the latest news break:

Percy "director of Baghdad Cafe" Adlon is 82. Master P and Romeo both have the real first names Percy but I don't think they're likely to drop dead anytime soon. That might be about it for same-day obitting Percys.

RIP woman people outside of America only know through that Biggie lyric.

April is Leo Baxendale, don't really care about the other months.

Never let it be said we don't cover all nationalities here. Commins Menapi, apparently the greatest ever footballer from the Solomon Islands, has died aged 40. He scored 27 goals for his country including two in a historic 2-2 draw with Australia in the 2004 OFC Nations Cup. However, his legacy should probably be this reducer of a tackle from a New Zealand Football Championship game between Waitakere United and Auckland City:

Bobby treating 'em like:

Yeah, the great irony here is that things are about to get a lot worse for the average Zimbabwean, they're going from a basically decrepit Cold War-era African leader to an actual Military Strongman-type dictator.

Shouldn't have banned the unions Bob, you'd have been able to take them to a tribunal.

Most frustrating shortlist death for me is still that art dealer who carked it on Boxing Day and would have been a unique for me the following year (I assume).

Six inch chicken teriyaki on honey oat, olives and gherkins, honey mustard and a sliver of mayo.

Latest update now up...

Toynbee Tiles are really going to shit.

Travelled past Corleone a few times, never felt the need to stop there. Sicilian Wikipedia informs me that Saint Leoluca was also from the town, but that might be the last divinity from there in the past 1,200 years.

The master's tools may not be able to dismantle the master's house, but Audre Lorde should probably have given them a shot at her breast cancer before she died today in 1992.

Good to see Bob refusing to let the haters drag him down: he's just made his first public appearance since the coup, attending a graduation ceremony in Harare:

My favourite Riina memory is still him taking a break from his supertrial in 1996 to criticise Arrigo Sacchi's tactics for the 2-1 loss to the Czech Republic at the European Championships . Just googled it:
