Especially one of them being shot down. Just sad to think that all four or at least three of the Beatles could still be around today. But, I guess we could say that for a lot of musicians over the years who left way too soon.

Jon English, the Australian rocker/musician died a few days ago at age 66. Another "young" musician gone.

Not not at all!!!! John Lennon was a shocker that's for sure!!!

TIS

Okay, seriously, will this be one of those abnormal years with a lot of famous/noteworthy deaths or just a normal year with a bad couple of weeks with back to back famous deaths (like the year with Swazye, Fawcett, Jackson, two Kennedy's, Cronkite, and McMahon).

I mean, with musicians alone this seems to be way too much in a year. I mean no aviation crash, and none of them are 27. It seems like the decade(s) of sex, drugs, and alcohol seems to be catching up with everybody or something like that.

What the fuck! Frank Sinatra Jr. now joins the list of musicians who passed this year. He was 72. RIP

Bam,

I just heard too. Wow, I am really surprised. So sorry to hear it. They say massive heart attack. Don't remember his dad's age when he died but he was in his 80s I think.

RIP



TIS

Yeah, Sinatra was 82 and died from a major heart attack. Seems like Nancy, and the rest of his children (that is known or not) should be careful with that stuff. Just terrible to hear that.

I think Frank Jr., Nancy & Tina were his only kids no? I don't think he had kids with his last wife (widow). Anyway I am really sorry to hear it.




TIS

Yes TIS those were the only kids. RIP Frank Jr.

Well, it depends on if you believe Mia Farrow then. A couple years ago, she said that Ronan Farrow's father might be Sinatra's and not Allen's. She did recant what she said, but yeah..might be some truth to that.

Actor Larry Drake, who played in "L.A. Law" and "Dr. Giggles" dies:

Oh hamburgers. Just watched an episode of Tales From The Crypt which he was in.

Joe Santos aka Angelo Garepe from The Sopranos died today at 84 years old.. RIP

Former Mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford.

....."But as he sought a second term in 2014, Ford was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Malignant liposarcoma in his abdomen forced him to do what months of scandals could not — drop his bid for re-election. Ford underwent aggressive chemotherapy treatments but succumbed to the illness on Tuesday. He was 46." RIP

He always looked incredibly unhealthy, always a bloated red face. He didn't take very good care of himself as we all know.

That doesn't mean it's less sad for his loved ones btw, maybe even more so, because he was so young..

RIP

His antics cracked me up. RIP Rob Ford.

Actress Rita Gam, one of the "hotties" from the 1950s has died yesterday. She was 88 years old.

Baseball announcer and former player, Joe Garagiola died today at age 90.

He was one of my favorite announcers - always had a good story to fill in the dead spots of a game and was always very amusing.

RIP Joe

Just wondering, who is left from that legendary era of the Yankees?

Garagiola's connection to the Yankees was certainly not in their legendary era. He broadcast the Yank's games in the mid '60s when the Bronx Bombers were just about the worst team in the league.

I know Whitey Ford is still alive from that period and I suspect there are many others.

Today, at 68 years of age, soccer icon Johan Cruyff died of complications from lung cancer. He died in his own home in Barcelona..

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35892775

The man is a legend in my country the Netherlands and is considered the best Dutch player ever. Even though he was diagnosed with lung cancer his death comes unexpected nonetheless, because recent reports stated that his treatment was going very well..

RIP Johan Cruyff aka Nr. 14 aka El Salvador

A footballing great RIP Johan..

"White Shadow" star Ken Howard dies:

Wow cryuff is dead what a player he was his move the cryuff is one of the few moves every player should be able to do. A move where you can reverse your field position by yourself without help from a team mate.

Also shooting off the cryuff is a spectacular play.

Comedian Gary Shandling, 66, died today. As far as I know his death was totally unexpected.

I just heard too. Can't say I was a fan of his humor but I'm sorry (and surprised) to hear of his passing. They just said he was not suffering from an "undisclosed illness." Too bad. RIP


TIS

Apparently it was a major heart attack, TIS.

Thanks for the correction, and that's good to hear at least.

comedian Gary Shandling passes away.
