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

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.

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

RIP Sir Michael Parkinson

Had a great way of conversing with his guests

My favorite interviewer.

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.

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

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

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.

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

RIP Golden Tonsils.
