Quite humbling when you read through it all. Shows what a year it has been for losing people.

Too many young people on that list too

[Petrus1983]

Neil Innes from Month Python has passed too.

[Eric Mc]

Sad to hear. I remember him more for his "Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band" and "Innes Book of Records" work.

Didn't' realise Jan-Michael Vincent died this year. He was looking decidedly unwell for a while though...

Oh dear. Wonderful humour throughout all he touched. Bonzos and Ruttles especially.

Appeared on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue as well, earning a glowing testimony from Humph

"Piano accompaniment will be provided by Neil Innes. Neil was founder member of the legendary Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, & worked with the Monty Python team before going on to form The Rutles. These comprise but a small sample of the successes that put Neil where he is today...standing in for Colin Sell."

Basically booze and drugs. What is it about being rich and famous that so many celebrities can't cope with without chemical assistance?

Give everyone reading this a huge amount of money, no fixed schedule, and a small army of fawning enablers, and lots of us would be hooked on something pretty quickly.

I don't think it's a fame thing, it's mainly just having a lot of money and a largely empty diary.

I have fond memories of seeing her in Lolita.
I was fifteen at the time.

RIP, Sue Lyon.

He was always going to struggle to fill Colin's shoes, even with Sven giving him a hand.

What HAS happened to Samantha? She seems to have disappeared. Maybe she's helping someone to raise a ten incher.

If you're a fan of films like tron and blade runner and futurism in general, you'll have seen his influence. Brilliant artist.
