OFFICIAL 2016 APOLYTON CELEBRITY DEAD POOL

[Grandpa Troll]

RIP Greg Lake, who fronted for both Emerson Lake & Palmer and a co-founder of King Crimson, dead at 69. Cancer.

I saw him perform with EL&P in college, around 1972. He had a beautiful voice, and was a big part of my prog-rock years.
I guess the appropriate video to post has to be "Epitaph."



Man, 2016 has been a vicious year for musicians...

Thats two of the three gone from ELP...

Keith Emerson (1944 – 2016)

We regret to announce that Keith Emerson died during the night of 10th/11th March 2016 at his home in Santa Monica, California, aged 71.

He committed suicide...leaves Drummer Carl Palmer

Another hero gone: Astronaut and Senator John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth, has died at age 95.

May he RIP.

One of the great first-round busts. Not surprising that he lived in Colorado.

RIP.

Some found it distressing? THAT'S distressing.

I've got them both on my list. One of these years they have to go. Unless, of course, they already did and what we're actually looking at is Zombie Zsa-Zsa and Zombie Hefner. Looking at them, it is possible.

Speculating on someones death can backfire.
As a lawyer had to find out who speculated on the death of the woman (Jeanne Calment) who would become the oldest woman in france till her death.
When she was 90, she sold her appartment to said lawyer (who was 47 then), under the condition that she would be allowed to live in it till the end of her life.
Bad investment for the lawyer ... when said lawyer died from cancer, 30 years later (i.e. aged 77), Jeanne still was alive.
She would live for another 2 years till she, too, died, having outlived all of her children.

I think you're correct.
He's lingering like Zsa Zsa.

It's December. Guess I better find some time to update everything.

The floor is open to anyone willing to run this thing in 2017.

I would offer but it would be better not to play the game at all then have me in charge of running it.

As well, despite what Slowwhand said, I think Hugh Hefner is still alive, although character actor Alice Drummond has died, age 88. Among many things, she was the librarian in Ghostbusters.

Wait, what? ****, that wasn't supposed to happen.

Hit for Lori.
