The rather morbid celebrity RIP Thread.

Had a bit of a cry about it earlier. Saw a text and facebook when I got up, but I got to work early and when tey had the news on in the staff room it really hit home. Surprisingly so much more so even than Lemmy. Went to HMV on Saturday to get three copies of Blackstar - myself, my sister and my mum. It's just so goddamn sudden. Like we all knew Lemmy was ill, I just assumed Bowie had taken some time out and was making a gradual come back.

Had to turn off a Bowie documentary 5 seconds in because my ma was close to crying already

I just saw that clip of him saying tiocfaidh ar la to a fucking huge crowd

So it's not just me reading too much into song titles like "Rebel Rebel" then

69 is the new 27 apparently.

What the hell is happening this year?

[WorMzy]

Just a heads up. Celeb deaths often happen in threes, and Donald Trump is 69.

Keep your fingers crossed, people.

[thehairyone]

Lemmy, Bowie, Rickman. There's the three

[WorMzy]

True, but Lemmy was 70. I remain hopeful.
