You only get to die once, and poor Bernard does it on the same day as the Queen. No one will remember.

I loved The Talisman. I enjoyed the other books of his I read as well. RIP
Shadowland was a genuinely creepy novel. And to this day I'll still roll out the King of Cats piece from that book.

reminds me of when Princess Diana died, and that coverage massively overshadowed Mother Theresa's death.

RIP to one of the great legends of jazz. I cannot think of many pieces of music more spiritually uplifting than "The Creator Has a Master Plan".

I HATED her! Which tells you that she was a fantastic actress who did a hell of a good job.

RIP Mrs. Fletcher.

I feel like a Doobie Brother dies about once a month. So poked around a bit. Apparently John Hartman died in 2021 https://kslx.com/doobie-brothers-ack...-died-in-2021/

Looks like they've had about 40ish different band members over the year, and only about 5 of them have died that have been acknowledged.

Yikes, that’s some awful journalism there.

There are a bunch of bands like the Doobies who have had a huge list of members over many decades. John was a founding member, although he played off and on in later years, so his passing is worth mentioning, even if it took a year.

She was fabulous in everything she did.

But she was just special when it came to playing nasty or evil characters.

Just look at her performance as Grandmother in Flowers in the Attic.

His Gangsta's Paradise album was the first CD I owned after getting a CD player so I replayed that over and over as a teenager, but my favourite thing he did (although he's only the 4th or 5th best part of it) is this -
