Today reminds me of the day Johnny Cash and John Ritter both passed away.

BBC is saying "unconfirmed reports" that he has died.

man, waiting on confirmation ... but it doesn't sound good now that multiple sources are reporting he's gone.

Sad day.

This may be a stunt.

I just saw the report he was infact dead on the CTV site. Now the site is OFF!

Perhaps they learned it was a fake report and are now removing it.

This is really sad news. Obviously his personal life was pretty messed up but he was a musical genius in his day. I still love a lot of his songs. You have to think all those surgeries and whatever he did to make his skin white were not having a positive impact on his long term health.

... also I don't know if me being interested in this will confirm to Clever_Iggy that I have no life.

Sad day.
Multiple sources said Pronger was a King too.

The media is jumping on a report. They all want to be "up to date" with the story, but they are all hedging by calling it "unconfirmed reports". Basically every reputable news source is acting like the National Enquirer right now, and hoping the story is true, as macabre as that seems.

I saw him about 25 years ago at Wembley Stadium and it was a good show but, my word, he was a very strange man (?). His plastic surgeons should have been banned from practising ever again. I can only hope his children will be able to lead normal lives now - still too young to die. Sad.

He didn't have any surguries to make is skin white, he had a condition that causes your skin to loose it's pigmentation.

As for his nose etc, that was a whole lot of surgery.

Wow the media is pathetic.

There are now zero "reputable" sources saying that he has died.

If he was a Pedo, go to hell.

If not, this guy was basically harassed and exploited his entire life, which is sad.

Who will ever know what the hell happened?
