Tragic story..my eldest son went to the US on a JI Visa in 2013. Loved it and made a few quid for himself.. Sad to think of six families bringing their children home in such a way. RIP

Terrible, horrific tragedy. Those poor kids and their poor families. It's every parent's worst nightmare when the kids leave the nest. RIP. :(

Chris Squire Bassist with Yes has passed away at the age of 67yrs.

An incredibly sad day for me...Yes - were/are my favourite band of all time saw them 127 times - in my late teens i followed them on the Relayer Tour UK/Europe and Japan....for 53 of the 70 something gigs they gave me a lift between some of the gigs...Heart Broken

Close To The Edge my favourite album.

I was at the gig this photo was taken at...The world premier of Close To The edge at the Crystal Palace Bowl - went awol from school ( and home0 for 3 days and got a right hammering from my father and grounded for 3 months - But was worth it.

Just totally sad. Th end of an era in my life :cry:

Served in WWII, was fluent in 8 languages (inc. Elvish :oops: ) and could also "get by" in Greek and Russian. He also released some metal albums in his 90s.

Sounds daft, dunnit?

Cribbed from memory of an interview I read a while back. He knew Tolkien and read LOTR at least a couple of times a year apparently.

Wrong thread, TopGimp. :roll:
Have we got a thread for people who have died who we knew were alive and another thread for people who have died who we thought were dead?
Why? :?

Job for Quartz this......... :wink:
