Neil Peart has died at the age of 67 from brain cancer. Very sad.

Massive loss. Gutted.

Christopher Tolkien age 95

Terry Jones, comedy legend

Gutted. Absolute legend.
I went to see Monty Python at the O2 Arena a few years back. Laughed my arse off until I could laugh no more. And then I laughed some more.

Terry Jones was my favourite Python (though I like them all). I think his humour was the second most surreal after Terry Gilliam's and before Michael Palin's. Chapman, Cleese and Idle were more towards the conventional end of comedy, but still pretty silly.

Sean Reinert has died aged 48.

Some basketball guy died yesterday apparently too.

Reed Mullins of Corrosion of Conformity - passed away at 53. Longstanding problems by the looks, couldn't make the flight when they last played BoA but gave the band a great groove when he was on form

Bill Rieflin -industrial drummer played with Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, R.E.M, King Crimson etc died of cancer aged 59.

Not a 'celebrity' but posting because he was a friend of mine and long-time Bloodstock attendees will remember Conquest of Steel, but I'm sad to say that their singer, Dan Durrant, has passed away. Apparently he suffered a fall whilst out running. RIP Dan. Always was a pleasure to be around

Stirling Moss has died aged 90, not from coronavirus though. A motor racing legend from a very different era who survived when many of his peers did not. A true gentleman of the sport.

Pussy Galore dead now, from natural causes as well.

Tim Brooke-Taylor of the Goodies got the virus and is dead.

Tim Brooke-Taylor was a British comedy hero, absolutely.
