Re: RIP Thread
The Eagles are the highest selling American rock band ever. One of my all time favorites after Zeppelin and Skynyrd. RIP.
Re: RIP Thread
TRIBUTES have been flooding in from all across the world following the death of Animal, the legendary drummer with rock outfit Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.
Fans of the supergroup were shocked to learn of the passing of the iconic percussionist, who passed away at just 66 following a short illness. Remaining band members Dr. Teeth, Janice, Zoot and Floyd Pepper took to the group’s Facebook fan page to announce the sad news earlier today.
“We will never forget you, brother,” read the statement from the band.
“You kept rocking ’til the very end. Be at peace now, and we’ll play again in that great muppet theatre in the sky”.
Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem had been performing together for several years before their breakout performance on the Muppet Show in 1975. The band were invited to continue as resident artists for the show, but it was Animal’s trademark intensity that won him the hearts of fans all across the world. His popularity won him appearances in every Muppet movie released, with his last role in 2014’s Muppets: Most Wanted.
“Although he had already been diagnosed with threadbaring syndrome, you would have never known he was sick,” said Fozzie Bear, speaking about the filming of M:MW.
“I’d ask him if he was feeling alright, and he’d just say ‘ANIMAL!!! HAAAAH!!!!’. That was… that was just Animal, you know?”
Other Muppets were quick to add their own tributes to their deceased colleague, with Miss Piggy stating that Animal was “a driving force in her life”, and the Swedish Chef adding that Animal always knew “how tee bork de bork”.

Sir Terry Wogan. R I P

I didn't know he had been ill
Sad news - I know he wasn't everyone's cuppa rosie - and in many ways he was the acceptable face of the BBc - But He is said to have been a genuinely good man who didn't stitch others up and in the world of showbiz that is something.
Cancer is such an awful way to go.....

Re: RIP Thread
Sad news. RIP Sir Terry Wogan.
Must be running out of space up in heaven (for those who believe) and there seems to be a mad rush to get the final spaces. When he didn't present the last Children in Need it did raise some suspicion of ill health. 2016 gonna be a bleak year.

From what I understand he identified very much with British culture, even more so than that of his native land.Herd wrote:Wogan was about as popular as cilla black in Ireland and in media circles !
I despised his chat show, and the Floral Dance is a crime against music, but other than that I found him pretty inoffensive.

Re: RIP Thread
Not sure where you got that from, mate. Wogan was quite popular here, especially during the height of his chat show's fame. His identifying himself with British culture (even accepting a knighthood) didn't offend anyone in Oireland bar a few mong IRA fuckheads. Indeed he was awarded the Freedom of Limerick City by popular public demand.Herd wrote:Wogan was about as popular as cilla black in Ireland and in media circles !
He was equally proud of his dual Irish/British nationality by all reports.
I hate chat shows so wouldn't be a fan of his, but by all accounts he was a decent person. RIP.

It's worse than that. Think Jordan's dirt box.
