Actor Chadwick Boseman, best known for his role as Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has died of colon cancer after being diagnosed four years ago. He was just 43.

He was the sort of actor that played his respective character perfectly and was a massive part of the MCU.

Ronald Bell - co-founder of Kool and the Gang - at 68.

Would it be tasteless if "Celebration" is played at his funeral?

That song, one of the greatest, was written off as "womens lib crap" until people took the blinkers/ear plugs out and listened to the totality of the lyrics and what was a powerful performance.

Conchata Ferrell, who we knew as Berta in Two and a Half Men passed away.

Some of her put downs of Alan are legendary.
