Actor Gary Waldhorn (aka Councillor David Horton in 'The Vicar of Dibley' has died, age 78, joining some of his fellow cast . I loved his character. R.I.P.

Quite a lot of the cast are now heavenside. Emma Chambers (Alice, my fave) was the shocker, so young.

Vogue creative director Andre Leon Talley

So sad to hear this. Read his book last year The Chiffon Trenches, it wasn’t an easy ride for him in the fashion world.

RIP Jethro Lazenby, the son of Nick Cave.
The greatest sadness for all parents, outliving your children, and his second son to pass.
I have the best memories of going to gigs after moving to London to study in the early 80's, The Birthday Party and The Cramps at the Hammersmith Palais was mindblowing.
This is one of Nick's most beautiful songs, it was sung at a family wedding recently, i cried.

oh no - i truly cannot imagine that level of grief. i always remember that beautiful letter he wrote to a fan following arthur’s death:

Not really a celebrity, but RIP Michael Collins.
He was the Apollo 11 astronaut who remained in orbit while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon.

The enduring legacy of Michael Collins, astronaut and chronicler of Apollo 11

The command module pilot on the famous flight to land on the moon will perhaps be best remembered for his unique perspective on the mission.

I'm guessing the extended closure of The Sugar Hut throughout the lockdowns didn't help matters.

Poor guy.

Paulie Walnuts was one of the best characters from The Sopranos and there were alot. The Pine Barrens episode is hilarious

I love it that the actor would not allow any of the make up department touch his hair.
He insisted on styling his own.

RIP Paulie. You were fabulous.

aw, RIP Olivia Neutron Bomb

 

[LadyMuck]

Rip Sarah. 39 is way too young

 

[50sGirl]

Just me that finds it weird none of the other GA members have spoken out about Sarah yet?

Perhaps they’re just taking time to digest the news and grieve first before saying anything, though.

Tbh I hate the public grief bandwagon from random celebs when someone famous dies.
However, her band members were part of her life for many years so perhaps, as you said, they need time to digest the news. They have most likely contacted her family privately. Grief is very personal, there is no right or wrong way to behave.
