Fatality: 2017 edition

WTH? It's supposed to be old people dying, not people my age.

I hate that the world has Lost Chris Cornell...... RIP.

 

[Gmash]

He was a great singer. I can't believe it. It seemed like he had so much to live for; talent, money, a wife and family. I guess you just never know. Sad.

Had to look him up in the Wikipedia, although I never listened to Sound Garden.

I think he was part of Audioslave too..

Yeah, um, I feel sorry for his widow, but damn, how many of the 'medication' related deaths have to happen before people realize that because a little helps, more is NOT better? And it's not always an excuse.

To this day, Kurt Cobain's death haunts me ... and I was never a big Nirvana fan. Go figure.

I hope Chris found the peace he couldn't find in life.

 

[lunatic59]

I am shaken ... and stirred by his passing.

He would have appreciated that. He was very secure in his role as Bond and never begrudged subsequent actors. He was a class act (although not my favorite Bond.)

 

[Dngrsone]

He was a damn good Bond for the era, though.

NOT JAMES BOND! James Bond doesn't die... He was a Saint.

NOT JAMES BOND! James Bond doesn't die... He was The Saint.

FTFY

I thought he was a great Bond. Sad day.

 

[olbriar]

I think Roger was a great actor and did Bond very well. Sad to see him pass. RIP

 

[today]

Seattle Seahawks hall of fame defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy passed today at the young age of 48. Thanks for the memories. R.I.P.

 

[olbriar]

Man that's too young. RIP

Former Blue Peter presenter, UK members will know him

Former Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega, age 83.

Can't say that I'll be sending flowers. I don't know if he is the arch-criminal he was accused of being or simply a political pawn caught in major power plays of a shadow government.

All I can say is, that if you swim with the sharks, you eventually get bit.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

83, Unbelievable! How do you live that fast and die so old?

Helmut Kohl, former Chancellor of Germany...all of it, thanks largely to him. RIP, Mr. Kohl, you've certainly earned it.

Some may recall that I did predict the demise of a world leader for this year...
