2024 Celebrity Death Pool #6

[Serene Serena]

Shifty Shellshock singer from Crazytown has died age 49. Could have sworn he died a few years back

Great name though. Poor fella. he was really proud of his sobriety. Sounds like he found it too late though.

My July bonus is, as ever, Harry Styles. If someone else has picked him, then his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift.

And now I'm going into hiding because there are a lot of people who will want ME dead.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I’ve seen a lot of fashion related people passing recently, so for my July bonus I’ll go for Vera Wang please🫡

'Wang'

heh

 

[Sir Lancelot]

July Bonus Round voting has closed

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I didn’t read this properly and was like wtf when did some of these die, must read full thing properly

You can tell I'm bored, can't you? Celebrating birthdays now...

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Being trapped in a bookshelf. Not sure how I would die but the last thing I see would be books

Your Top Five books by dead authors, go!

 

[WickedThread]

Wendy Craig for me please

Ah, a fine choice from the “Wait, hasn’t she already…?” Gang

 

[BingoFlamingo]

Leonard Nimoy? Really?

I know. I have to live with this shite

 

[coconochanel]

I'll go with Dick Van ONLY JOKING

Bruce Willis for me please.

 

[Lovegossip]

I see that June last year had zero deaths on the death pool list, so far this month and with 5 days to go, there has been 5

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Reminder to anyone just catching up (hi lurkers), July Bonus Round voting ends tomorrow (Friday) at 23:59.

 

[TruthTeller1036]

It’s definitely still being shagged to death by Tom Hardy after a fortnight of filth and debauchery in the Bahamas. I’d settle for the Maldives as my second choice.

well this sounds like a perfect way to go if you ask me

 

[Cáca_Milis]

The only country people start conversations with "Guess who's dead:

Every time my mother calls me....... !

 

[Sir Lancelot]

The Death Pool thread continues.

Just a reminder;


JULY BONUS ROUND

Nominate one celeb that you think might unfortunately die in July.
They don't need to be on your official 2024 list.
You don't need to have an official 2024 list to take part in the Bonus Round.
They can be any celebrity who is known - as it is a Bonus Round, they don't need to have a Wiki page and they can even be a celebrity animal.

THEY MUST BE KNOWN WELL ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO RESORT TO GOOGLE!

You have until 23:59 Friday June 28 to place your July Bonus Round nomination.

One vote each player; multiple votes for the same celeb are allowed.

If correct, you get the usual points (100-age, 1 point if they are aged 100+) PLUS ten bonus points if they die in the month of July '24.
If they are already on your list you don't get double points.


Off you go...

I know this is really not in the spirit of the thread and it’s potentially doing myself out of points, but the fabulous Mel Brooks is 98 today.
So suck on that Dick.

Can I nominate myself? Not a celeb but melting in the heat
