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.

Yeah I thought he was already dead too. I shall play the absolute banger that is Butterfly in his memory.

 

[MLE007]

I'll have bubbles the chimp please boss

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I'll have bubbles the chimp please boss

Ugh least everyone can stop going on about her bloody tour like she's the bloody king. Sick of hearing her smug face and her weird infantalised fans

When I read that Shifty Shellshock had died, I remembered his name being on the Wiki and thought whoever had picked him would be in for looooads of points and maybe top spot on the leaderboard, considering how young he was. I had't quite computed that his big hit single was nearly 24 years ago!

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

John Nettles for my bonus round please.

I misread that and thought you'd been in Heat magazine.

 

[TheDragonWithAFlagon]

Jimmy Page, please.

 

[Lambeth Walk]

For the bonus round I'd like to nominate Joan Bakewell please.

By the way I'd not heard of Simon Fowler of Ocean Colour Scene, which leads me to ask. How many people should we say it takes to have 'not heard of somebody'?? I'm off to google this name now.

Saying "The singer from Ocean Colour Scene" would have sufficed.

I’ve been to many of their concerts but he is the only name I know

It’s five years since Beth Chapman died? Time really does fly.

I really liked Beth, used to watch dog the bounty hunter all the time

 

[Bohooo]

Ozzy Osborne please

 

[Sir Lancelot]

RIP Bill Cobbs, actor, who you'll know from the Dick-featuring film Night At The Museum.

nul points

 

[PurpleOlive]

I'm going to go for Ozzy Osbourne as well, thank you!

 

[WickedThread]

I’m having a “battle of the jackasses” for my July bonus: John Voight, Clint Eastwood or Rupert Murdoch, with Julie Andrews as a non-jackass wildcard.

duck it, I’ll go with Clint Eastwood to rant at the great empty chair in the sky.
