This stung. I've loved and listened Foo Fighters ever since I was a teenager and he was such a great drummer and an awesome entertainer.

rest in peace.

Gilbert Gottfried passed away. He's going to be missed. He's always been my favorite comedian.

No! Dammit, this one really hurts. A great talent and he was doing so much good with his Cameo account.

R.I.P. Gilbert.

[KageKageKing]

[Satsuki]

That does hurt. I didn't know he was sick. T_T

[Nobodyman]

[Satsuki]

Man I miss Hollywood Squares. They should bring it back, we've got a whole new generation of celebs to use.

I mean dude we could have had an Avengers episode.

[Mr. Hide]

[Cyan D. Funk]

Please enjoy the psychic damage of Gilbert Gottfried's real voice.

[onemoment]

Aw this sucks. This guy was hilarious, and I love all the clips of him that've been posted already. W

VH1 had a hip hop inspired version for a time.

[Satsuki]

God bless him, Gilbert's last tweet/instagram was a dig at Chris Rock:

Support for Chris Rock while also making fun of him. Oh, Gilbert . . .

[Mr. Hide]

Gottfried as an alarm was inspired casting

Vangelis died at 79, of covid complications.

[Kitsune Inferno]

It's been a minute and there's been lots of deaths of note over the last few months, but Anne Heche really affected me a lot.

Might wanna be careful with the phrasing given the circumstances leading up to her death.

[Kitsune Inferno]

@Time-Control-Magician yeah, thanks, corrected.

[Sano]

Queen Elizabeth have passed away.

Louise Fletcher, who played Nurse Ratched and Kai Winn in Star Trek DS9, has died at 88.

Coolio has died at age59 because, sure, why not, fuck it, kill all the cool rappers why don't you.

[Nobodyman]

Goddammit that sucks. And let's not forget this either.

RIP Coolio.

[Gizmo]

RIP Coolio. Learned he did a lot of kids programming stuff. He made a Dexter’s Lab song. Also found out about this gem from the Muppets.

[Satsuki]

"Gangsta's Paradise" was the first real rap song I listened to. Rap/Hip-Hop isn't really my genre of music, but that was the first one I really liked. RIP Coolio, man.

[Cyborg009]

Sad news everyone, English actress Angela Lansbury, star of Murder She Wrote, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and the voice and Singing actress of Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast has passed away at the age of 96.

[Sano]

RIP Angela, thank you for the many years of watching Murder She Wrote before Raw, and for your performance as Mrs. Potts.

[Nobodyman]

Bedknobs and Broomsticks was one of my favorite movies growing up (and Beauty and the Beast of course). R.I.P. Angela.

[Satsuki]

Whhyyyyyyyyyyy? Not Mrs. Lansbury!

[darktravis]

This year was not good towards the 'queens' (both in the figurative and literal sense) over 90.

[Time Control Magician]

Robbie Contrane i.e. Hagrid and Valentin from Goldeneye passed away
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/14/entertainment/robbie-coltrane-death/index.html

[Satsuki]

NOOOOOOOOO.

They always come in threes. First Angela, now Robbie, who's next?

[Time Control Magician]

I would out of the randomness and unmerciful nature of death make a prediction. But I don’t want people getting pissed at me.

[Satsuki]

Dear Jules Bass of Rankin/Bass has passed away at 87:

Everyone go watch The Last Unicorn and The Hobbit, and are now required to watch every R/B Christmas special this season.

Jerry Lee Lewis, who sang "Great Balls of Fire", has passed away at the age of 87.

[Nobodyman]

Goodness gracious.

R.I.P. to a music legend.

[Time Control Magician]

Dark as it sounds when the TMZ thing happened I said it would be messed up if he passed anyway after his representatives pushed back on the news and then a day and a half this happens.

[Cyan D. Funk]

The last of the Million Dollar Quartet and the one that everyone figured would die first.

Every story you've heard about Jerry Lee is probably true and probably worse than what you've been told. Still the greatest rock n roll piano player of the 50s and a goddamn hell of a country singer.

[Time Control Magician]

What’s worse than marrying your underage cousin?

[Johnny B. Decent]

@Time-Control-Magician Horrifically abusing her, which he also did.
