        If he was dumb enough to marry Celine Dion maybe he deserved to die?

          Bad year for musicians.

          Glenn Frey, dead at 67.

          Glenn Frey, a founding member and guitarist of the Eagles, has died ... TMZ has learned.

          We're told the cause of death was a combination of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia.

          Frey had been battling intestinal issues for months and had surgery in November. We're told in the last few days his condition took a turn for the worse. He died in New York City.
          No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

            Wow. Did not see that one coming.

            RIP, Glenn.

            If you have the slightest interest and get a chance, the History of the Eagles documentary is recommended viewing.

              Dunno if he counts as celebrity, but Marvin Minsky is dead, AI pioneer (students/researchers of AI/ANNs will surely regularly encounter him in form of the Minsky-Papert Perceptron)

                He was a famous to me. Too bad he went before we perfected the consciousness upload process.

                  Abe Vigoda has finally passed on, age 94

                  RIP Fish....you had a good run.




                  Fish on Barney Miller and mobster Sal Tessio in The Godfather, and for weathering years of mistaken reports about his death, died on Tuesday at the age of 94.
                  If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

                    I loved him as Fish.

                    I also thought he was in his 90s then.

                    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                      Ming's blessing of immortality has failed him.

                      In other news, Colin Vearncombe who had a big hit in 1986 as Black (the song was "Wonderful Life") has sadly died after a car crash.

                        Ming's been slipping for years. At least now we have proof.
