Deaths of Minor Celebrities

[Fiona]

Richie Benaud died this morning. A permanent fixture in the cricketing world.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

...I've never been a cricket fan but I knew what he meant to the game... another Australian icon gone... R.I.P Richie Benaud... cheers.

 

[Insomniac]

Poor Richie, he's been struggling for some time. RIP.

 

[GROOVER]

What a marvellous innings R.B

R.I.P and watching cricket won't ever be quite the same again without hearing that magical voice.

I've never been a fan of HIM but I do get what his death will mean to lots of people.

 

[GROOVER]

Percy Sledge has passed away. What a powerful and iconic song he will be mostly remembered for "When a Man loves a Woman".

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

...yeah that was sad to hear Groover... he could sure belt out that song couldn't he?... R.I.P Percy Sledge... cheers.

I reckon that show will be on reruns forever. Sad to know that one of the youngest has gone far too soon.

Holy shit!
This is so terrible. And he has left his twin brother behind as well.

I remember growing up watching "Everybody Loves Raymond" all the time. We kind of did watch the twins grow up too since they were babies in the first season.

RIP Saywer Sweeten.

Awwww, one of the best concerts I ever went to was Hot Chocolate at Central Coast Leagues club. Errol had such charisma and I got a kiss! They had everyone up dancing but you couldn't help it anyway...such fun, funky music and his quirky voice. So sad. R.I.P. Errol you lovely man. <3 :X
