The RIP thread...

He was 87, so maybe not in his 60s at the time

Indeed, he just always seemed an old performer, i was a teenager so almost everyone was old.

Same same

Only old people seemed to like him too.

Untrue! This album was a firm favourite with me and my brother as 70s infants:

Was it ever confirmed that puff the magic dragon was about drugs?

Consistently denied by Peter, Paul and Mary and case dismissed by judge in Australian 'jury' trial:

Big Rock Candy Mountain on the other hand ....

Untrue!

Julian Clary has long been a fan. Although, now I think of it, his documentary "Desperately Seeking Roger" might have been about a few other things. That would certainly explain why Whittaker only showed up as the closing credits rolled.

A talented musician

RIP David McCallum, always admired him. Along Robert Vaughn was compelling viewing on the tellybox.

couldn’t they have had fancy handkerchiefs to identify their organisation

Was it Snape again?

Curse of Dumbledoor strikes again, that’s two actors who have played the roll to have died.

Jude Law must be getting nervous then.

Rumour has it 100% of actors who play him will die...

Grim if true

Grimm if true

Francis ‘just look at his face’ Lee. Derby County and Manchester City legend.

Dick Butkus yesterday 😕
Former Chicago Bears player, then coach, who went on to be an actor and landed a role in the epic Police Academy rip-off 'Hamburger: The motion picture' which is well worth a watch in my opinion. 😁

Rest in Peace Rudolph Isley, reunited with your brothers.

Dwight Twilley, one of my fave songwriters and vocalists, what a talent. RIP
