  • Diego Maradona has died at 60.

    • I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. Drug abuse and at one point weighing in at nearly 130kg. He was about 1.65m so a severely bad news BMI of 47 or so.
      One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                  • Charley Pride, 86, of Covid.

                    His Christmas album is a staple in my family.

                    Whenever I sing O Holy Night, his rendition is in my head.

                    RIP, Charley.

                          Actor Jeremy Bulloch, who played Boba Fett in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died aged 75.

                          He died in hospital on Thursday from health complications after living with Parkinson's disease for many years, his agent said.

                          "He had a long and happy career spanning more than 45 years," a statement said.

                          "He was devoted to his wife, three sons, and 10 grandchildren and they will miss him terribly."

                          Bulloch was best known for playing bounty hunter Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

                          The character has since featured in the second season of Star Wars spin-off series, The Mandalorian.

                          Bulloch also appeared in James Bond film Octopussy in 1983, and the BBC TV series Doctor Who in the 1970s.

                          Daniel Logan, who took over from Bulloch to play the role of Boba Fett in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, paid tribute to the actor on Instagram.

                          "RIP Legend I'll never forget all you've taught me. I'll love you forever," he wrote.

                          "Conventions won't be the same without you. May the force be with you always."

                            • Leslie was a monster player. I remember getting my first Mountain album as part of my (very thrilling!) first shipment from the Columbia Record Club, in college early 70s. Love me some good classic rock.
                              RIP Leslie.
