Predictor 1,018 Posted December 29, 2016 Oooh, I have a great idea. How about we keep count of those who have been mentioned so far? And perhaps extend to those who died in previous years?

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 29, 2016 Feb 14 - rock band Viola Beach all wiped out in car crash. Not famous in their own right but interesting as it adds to the pile of rock stars and they died in a notable way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
