65, no age, shame.

R.I.P Uriah. I never got to ask him did Kevin Phillips pay him off for that penalty at Southampton.

 

[YoungWolf]

Sad news. He had some rare condition which left him paralysed IIRC?

Yeah

Frederick Forsythe 86, author, probably best known for day of the jackal

One of my favourite books when I was a kid, also The Dogs of War and the Odessa File.

 

[Keef]

Sly Stone 82 , funky frontman of Sly and the family stone, complications fron COPD

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The Odessa File is just as good as the Day of the Jackal in my opinion. Excellent author.

 

[Keef]

Beach boy Brian Wilson 82.

 

[ROVERT47]

Shame, Pet Sounds is up there with some of the best albums of all time.
Saw the Beach Boys at the Gaumont about 1969.

 

[Langers]

Absolute legend of music. A proper pioneer - I was fortunate enough to see him live at Glastonbury in 2005. The atmosphere was unreal.

Really sad to hear this.

Douglas McCarthy of industrial band Nitzer Ebb, only 58

Harris Yulin actor 87.

In so many things, but probably most famous for playing corrupt police officer Mel in Scarface.

Or for us older ones, Wyatt Earp alongside Stacey Keach and Faye Dunnaway.

Scarface is 1983 so not exactly one for the teenagers either (although it did find new popularity due to gangsta rap).
