gcreptile 10,972 Posted August 4, 2014 Nothing worse than an obit-worthy celeb who only reveals that he has terminal cancer a week before he goes. I think it's related to the five stages of grief. Acceptance comes last. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted August 4, 2014 Nothing worse than an obit-worthy celeb who only reveals that he has terminal cancer a week before he goes. Funny you should mention that when I'm listening to a Queen album! What? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not Roger Taylor! What's he got? (Er also... he didn't mention it just now he mentioned it on 23 June.) Nah Zorders, the death rattle was almost in Freddie's throat when they finally announced AIDS was seeing him out. He's one of the worst cases of playing the death card close to his chest amongst all celebs. Incidentally, I really don't like Queen at all, I was suffering through Hot Space because I'm busy compiling a radio show of disco/dance disasters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,622 Posted December 28, 2014 Going back to a topic we haven't discussed for a while, the TV show "The Comedians". It appears two more of the cast died in 2014 but stayed off the radar as neither got UK obits: Bryn Phillips in February (79, cancer) > http://www.walesonli...omedian-6745892 and Alan Fox in May (77, cancer) > http://www.shieldsga...n-fox-1-6645275 EDIT: And Brian Carroll died in October aged 84. http://www.thestar.c...ed-84-1-6916616 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
