The 5th Annual Celebrity Death Thread 2020 - Behold the Harvest!

[Corazon de Leon]

That gutted me as well, real bad news. Lifeson and Lee have retired off the back of it.

[Squinty]

I've only just found out Neil Peart (Rush's awesome drummer) died earlier this year.

Still makes me sad.

[Preezy]

RIP Michael Lonsdale - played Hugo Drax in Moonraker, but I always loved his small role in Ronin

[Vermilion]

This one seemed to slip under the radar yesterday what with all the news being about the new restrictions.

RIP Jackie Stallone.

I remember her stint on Celeb Big Brother well.

[rinks]

Yeah, Jackie.

[Choclet-Milk]

I didn't know a thing about her before now, but what a life!

[Preezy]

RIP Ron Cobb - science fiction design will be a less interesting world without you in it

[Tomous]

RIP Eddie Van Halen.

End of inhaling.

Eddie

Reading the news was like a punch to the gut. A true legend who influenced generations of guitarists and musicians. The sheer number of musicians paying tribute on social media at the moment is testament to that

[Victor Mildew]

More like De

[LewisD]

gutted.

I remember listening to the Isolated guitar track from Panama to try and learn it years ago.
It shows how much control he had over a guitar - apparently doing it in one take with no effects or different channels on his amp. Amazing stuff.

Johnny Nash has died, even if you're not familiar with the name, most of you will recognise his songs such as 'I Can See Clearly Now', and 'Tears on my Pillow'.

[Preezy]

RIP James Randi, skeptic extraordinaire

[Godzilla]

James Randi is one hell of a man. The documentary about him and his secret is mind blowing.

For those who don't know who he is, he is a master magician who went on to expose the fakes like Uri Gellar and others. He showed them up live on TV and used simple tricks to expose them.

[Tomous]

Randi did the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge didn't? Hilarious, too easy really

His responses to some of the applicants were legendary. Real shame he’s away.
