https://www.yahoo.com/music/singer-george-michael-dead-age-53-bbc-reports-231513410.html I really hope this turns out to be wrong, I'm getting really tired of these reports.
I think it can be said that 2016 has been a suck year so far. I got online.....checked a few pages and saw the news. I was never really into WHAM! when I was a kid,....but....part of the memory of my childhood keeps dying off.
There are always celebrity deaths every year but it seems as though 2016 took a lot of icons and favorites: Pat Harrington(Schneider from One Day At A Time) David Bowie Alan Rickman(Hans Gruber/Snape) Abe Vagoda(for real this time) Dan Haggarty(Grizzly Adams) Glen Frey Tony Burton(Duke in the Rocky movies) George Kennedy Garry Shandling Ken Howard Joe Garigiola Patty Duke James Nobel(Governor from Benson) Doris Roberts(Raymond's mother in Everybody Loves Raymond) Prince Mohammad Ali Morley Safer(60 Minutes) Anton Yelchin Garry Marshall Gene Wilder Arnold Palmer Robert Vaughn Florence Henderson Ron Glass(Harris on Barney Miller) Zsa Zsa Gabor Alan Thicke Bernard Fox(Dr. Bombay on Bewitched) Paul Kantnor(Jefferson Airplane) Greg Lake George Martin(producer who discovered The Beatles) Alan Young(Wilbur on Mr. Ed) Gordie Howe Buddy Ryan(Eagles and Cardinals head coach and defensive coordinator for the 1985 Bears) Pat Summitt(not only the greatest women's basketball coach but one of the top 5 all time basketball coaches IMO) Kenny Baker(R2D2) Leonard Cohen These just from the entertainment or sports world. From the world of politics and other areas: John Glenn Nancy Reagan Phyllis Shafley Antonin Scalia Shimon Peres Janet Reno Bad year for celebrity deaths and we still have a week to go.
Just when my niece started to listen to the best of Wham after we watched the Deadpool movie and now she has to learn that one of them has passed.
