Very sad news. I always liked her monologues. :(

My mate from school (early to mid 1980s) was a massive Prince fan.

I was not a fan to be honest, but I can appreciate that he was an incredibly talented musician. Which is a great loss to the music world in general.

This year's taking no prisoners huh?

I like a few of his songs, and lots seemed to love him, so yeah, a loss to the music world. RIP

Always disliked his music, but I can't claim he was anything other than talented.

Similarly, I wasn't into his music but he was part of a great era.

Amber Rayne died a few weeks ago of (as of yet) unknown causes. Anyone who likes a bit of bdsm porn will probably know who she is.

It's getting to the point where we need to heavily ration new idols and greats to try and reduce the number of legends dying in half a century's time. 2017, this year is *not* laying down a challenge to you! If 2016 told you to jump off a cliff you wouldn't do it, would you? No.
If it sounds good, listen to it

I've said this elsewhere but we're just living in the age of the celebrity and so a certain time will pass when those beloved greats will die. There's just been a bit of a cluster of them this year. Also, Lemmy died in 2015 but everyone seems to have ignored that.

I agree.

When I was younger it was the big stars.

In a few years it's going to be nobodies and X factor types. :lol:
