Support NeoGAF

[Bullet Club]

A thread for posts about recent celebrity deaths.

The big name stars like Stan Lee and ex-presidents get their own death threads but a lot of stars from the past and local celebrities don't get much attention on NeoGAF, so here's a thread for them.

Unfortunately someone has to kick this thread off, and that honour goes to a punk from the 70s.

Rest In Peace Pete Shelley

I don't wanna classify you
Like an animal in the zoo
But it seems good to me to know
That you're a Homosapien too

What is '16 or 2017 that we had like an endless stream of celeb deaths? It was wild.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

All life actually ended when Prince died. We are living in hell right now and don’t even know it.

It was 2016. Bowie, Prince & George Michael all in the same year. Plus lots of others.

So, this thread is for Aaron Ramsey's goals, huh?

I want to say both with 2017 coming out on top.

Don't worry about Bobby. He has enough sex to keep him 5 years younger.

She's been out of the spotlight for awhile but directed 2 of my favorite movies Big and A league of their own.

Prince and David Bowie was an insane one-two punch. felt like the fucking day E.T. went to his home planet.

He had a hard life. Making a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie literally drove him crazy.

It kills me that a man who fought SO hard for the right to own his own image and his body of work finally achieved it, only to die young and have no one to leave it to. The record companies won in the end.

The first Norm McDonald episode where he just goes off on the show is still the best one.

Both at 76

Pretty shitty way to start 2019

 

[C4lukin2]

Goodbye Super Dave... I was not expecting that one. I also had no idea he was 76. I would have guessed closer to 60. May Larry David not mess up your relationships in the afterlife.

And here's another celeb that has passed away at 76.

Oh, I have left out the late, great Malcolm Young, because he's a guitarist and not a singer. But a lot of band members are gone too.

How many of these musicians have you heard of?

I've heard of most of them.

A lot of them died a long time ago though.

 

[Sp3eD]

You guys realize that people thst were popular in the 60’s and and 70’s are getting really old now right? Everybody that talks about this stuff seems to forget that.

That generation is where the true celebrity was born...

 

[thesaunderschild]

Yeah, but it's still sad when they pass away. These guys knew their way around a good tune and writing lyrics for fabulous songs that people fondly enjoy years after they are out. Unlike much of today's plastic, and pretty much ten-a-penny pop music.

Instagram star Boo the Pomeranian has died after losing friend Buddy last year. Picture: FacebookSource:Supplied
“With deepest sadness I wanted to share that Boo passed away in his sleep early this morning and has left us to join his best friend, Buddy,” his owner posted on Facebook.
“Boo showed signs of heart issues. We think his heart literally broke when Buddy left us. He hung on and gave us over a year.

This actually makes me sad.

 

[5secondrulesucks]

its always great to make fun of the people who pay tribute to a celebrity they barely know anything about but will make an instagram post about them complete with a pic of their most popular movie or them smiling in the park or something. chances are that celebrity wasnt a great person but hey i liked em in a movie once

The exact same thing is happening to my dog. He is 16 years old and his 17 years old companion died last year. Nothing makes him happy anymore and I fear the end is coming soon for him. They lived their whole lives together and when my eldest dog was gone, he literally didn't eat anything for a week.

Yeah, I was sad to hear that, especially considering I saw him in this tweet from the start of this month and while he looked old of course, he still looked pretty energetic.

All the major news sites are reporting on it, so it seems to be true.
