Uncomfortably close to home, that one) Come on, Davie, you're on a hat-trick in a week for hat-tricks....throw in Robert Mugabe, Ian Brady, Kim Jong-Un or someone, will you?

pSinatra Posted 12 December 2016 Posted 12 December 2016 Don't mean to take the piss. I was a just a young boy when he was doing the weather & this is the first thing I thought of. To have your own Spitting Image puppet is quite an honour. RIP

Next day you're in a box and the minister is giving an oration about you.

stripeyfox Posted 24 December 2016 Posted 24 December 2016 Rick Parfitt of Status Quo has died in Spain according to BBC News
ozleicester Posted 24 December 2016 Posted 24 December 2016 Rick Parfitt of Status Quo Guess hes going down down, deeper down
Crinklyfox Posted 24 December 2016 Posted 24 December 2016 That's the end of the mighty Quo then. What a terrible year it's been for losing musicians.

Saw Francis Rossi on BBC Breakfast the other week and he's still touring with the band and they've got new members. But obviously it's not Status Quo as we all know it.
Fox in the North Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 George Michael now...2016....please...stop!

So, this Christmas he'll give them his heart and the very next day, they'll give it away. In all seriousness, this Grim Reaper chap is starting to piss me off. George was a year younger than me, too. I wasn't a massive fan, but Wham were better than most mainstream 80s pop bands, he was a fine singer & songwriter and he seemed like a nice bloke who was prepared to laugh at himself.
Jimothy Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 The amount of massively famous people who everybody will have heard of who've died this year is unbelievable. The Queen and Bruce Forsyth will be be bricking it over the next few days.
