Sam Lloyd (Ted the lawyer from Scrubs) has died from cancer :( His former co-stars organised a GoFundMe for his medical expenses a while back. Another shining endorsement of the US medical system - he might not have been a millionaire, but he can't have been on minimum wage.

Such a sad loss.

Millie (My Boy Lollipop) has died and so has Hillard Atkinson from Was (Not Was). I watched the video for Walk The Dinosaur just now - he was the one in the hat.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

I'm a massive Was (Not Was) fan, I have nearly all their albums and he had an incredible voice. I'm sad I'll never get to see them.

But I was quite surprised when this made it on to the front page of the BBC news.

Ah, no I had missed it!

I thought Little Richard was already dead.

So did I, Lily. He was a lot younger than I'd realised.

That's very sad. Monty's dogs following him around is the best bit of Gardeners' World.

If it cheers you up in any way, I've been discovering Tutti Frutti was originally a 1950s song about anal sex. I didn't think people did it in those days! :hitchesbosom:

Every time I see this thread jumping up on the board, I always think ‘oh no, who’s gone now?’ While we’re not at 2016 levels yet, it’s still been such a sad year for celebrity deaths
