OFFICIAL 2016 APOLYTON CELEBRITY DEAD POOL

John Prine, 73, an amazing singer/songwriter best know for writing "Angel From Montgomery," has died of COVID-19 complications. He was a 2x cancer survivor, so not surprising that he could not survive symptoms that included double pneumonia.

First met him in the mid-70s, when he toured midwest colleges with fellow folkies Steve Goodman and Bonnie Koloc. Great guy. May he RIP.

Rocket Man is ded.

"Mad" Mike Hughes, 64, crash-landed his steam-powered rocket shortly after take-off near Barstow on Saturday.

A video on social media shows a rocket being fired into the sky before plummeting to the ground nearby.

Hughes was well-known for his belief that the Earth was flat. He hoped to prove his theory by going to space.
