I'd love to say it was one I took, but it's one of my favourite photos that I found on a google search some years ago.

They look well young, I wonder when it was taken. Early 90s I'd guess.

Never saw Greg Lake.  So much music.  Will think of him when I hear his Christmas song these next few weeks.  RIP x

John Glenn.

Nothing beats Astronaut.

RIP Greg Lake 

Massive ELP and Crimson fan. I'm a bass player and he was inspirational.

Listening to ELP 'pictures at an exhibition' live at Newcastle city hall 1971 today. great stuff.

Just to lighten the mood slightly, happy 100th birthday to Spartacus himself.

Yep. I was just going to post this. Long live longevity. Guess he just nicked a few years from the others we've lost this year

2016 seems to be getting a bad press but is there any evidence to suggest that there were more celebrity deaths than any other year?

I am afraid 2016 is just the start. 'Celebrity' has been around a long while now as part of music, TV and Radio and all those who started it in the 50's and 60's are now getting old and add to that their enjoyment of life and each year will see many more deaths than we have been used to.

Phwoar. No wonder Catherine Zeta Jones married him.

Gah, and now Ian McCaskill.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38294661 

Here he is with a June weather forecast in 1987.

Plenty of June mist and rain. 

I bet a pubescent @The Nalwas watching that shouting "We're doomed!" in a squeaky voice. 

 

RIP Ian.

Rick Parfitt gone

Just heard that on the radio. RIP Rick

[parsonjack]

Oh shit....

[Rumblestripe]

Just heard.

RIP Rick

 

I no longer give any credence to the argument that this is a statistical inevitability given the increased visibility if celebrity culture and I have concluded that 2016 is a murdering bitch.

RIP Rick. Seemed a top bloke, might struggle with a harp though.
