Foo Fighters drummer Taylior Hawkins -50

Have they given any more about his death yet? Very sad news, was an excellent drummer but I know he OD’d from heroin years ago. When I heard “in a hotel room in Bogotá” my mind thought the worst.

The report I read made it sound very much like a heart attack ('paramedics treated a man complaining of chest pains' sort of deal).

Fuck sake, missed that one.

An unfortunate hat trick apparently.

That's shite. Great goalie, regardless of personal dislikes of who he represented. 

[sheepheid]

Yep, an awful shame. 58 is so young!

Great goalie and the second best goalie I’ve seen playing in the Scottish leagues since I started properly watching football in 1986.

Absolutely fucking gutted.

Back in the 70's she was a central character in many of my schoolboy sexual fantasies

How often were you having sexual fantasies about schoolboys?

I mean, it was the seventies.

Reading back my comment regarding Olivia Newton John and sexual fantasies and the way I worded it, I'm surprised it took a day and a half for someone to score with what was literally an open goal 

[RicoS321]

Rather than start a separate thread, I'll just add Salman Rushdie in here. Fantastic writer. Horrible attack like. Hopefully he'll recover.

Sad to see the death of Mikhail Gorbachev. I was born in the early 70's and growing up during the cold war era was a scary time. Personally, what Gorbachev did means more to me than any other politician in my life time. The Soviet union and the Eastern Bloc would have collapsed at sometime, but Gorbachev speeded things up. Even up to his death he was a critic of Putin and that makes him a top man in my eyes. RIP
