[gadj1976]

When I googled the name it has at least 40 links about her career and marriage to Slim Dusty on the first page.

Yes, I can use a computer. But I don't know I've ever heard of her before.

RIP Sinead O'Connor. 56

“If you’ve never seen a good time, how would you recognise one?”

RIP Sinead O'Connor

I always loved her song 'Nothing Compares 2 U' written by Prince and thought she looked great with her shaved head. Such a strong woman who didn't take shit and had more courage than most men but had some mental health problems and when her 17 year old son committed suicide 18 months ago I thought it was probably only a matter of time until this happened. Very sad, RIP.

Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman, 70.

For my money, "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" remains one of the best kids movies for adults.

Rip Michael Parkinson.
His interviews with Billy Connelly were brilliant.

Margaritaville singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett left us last weekend after a 4 year battle with cancer.
I simply love his song “Come Monday”, always played late at night with likeminded people who would belt it out loud.
He was 76.

A couple months ago in June - Judi Farr, aged 84

Also, maybe not a celebrity but didn't see it on the cricket threads - Heath Streak, from cancer, aged 49.

[Pseudo]

Sir Michael Gambon, 82.

Dumbledore in most of the Harry Potter flicks.

More prominent in my mind, Albert Spica, the titular thief in "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover".
"I'll kill him ... and I'll eat him!"

Cal Wilson, 53, comedian and TV personality passes away

[DOC]

Way too young. I quite liked her on shows like Spicks and Specks.

Cal Wilson, 53, comedian and TV personality passes away

I didn't like her comedy (and lets face it, not everyone does) but that aside... I'm 53. And this is way way way too young.

[Corona Man]

The iconic first tee announcer at many British Opens, Ivor Robson has passed away, aged 83.

RIP Golden Tonsils.
