Blimey Marc, you're full of surprises! Never had you down as a Linkin Park fan.
Random music fact: they wanted to be called Lincoln Park, but www.lincolnpark.com was taken, so they changed it to Linkin Park.
I can't pretend that I ever liked his band, but yes, this is sad. Only 41.

2016 was an extraordinary year regarding celebrity deaths, in terms of the amount, the fame levels, and the unexpectedly young ages.
It won't be matched any time soon.
Respect.

Sorry for the delay, only just got around to updating this. With the death of Brucey, some movement has occurred on the leaderboard:

2. James Laverty: 159
3. Jim Bentley: 135
4. Andy McGurn: 80
5. Marc Meakin: 56
6. Thomas Carey: 55
7. Euan Slatter: 28
8. Ben Wilson: 24
It's hotting up! However, my falling to third place is...troublesome. I may have to undertake certain activities to rectify this prior to the year end, we'll see.

Re: Deathwatch 2017
It is a bit of a coincidence them dying within a month of one another but it's not a connection I'd expect most people to make. Malcolm I would perhaps expected to have got a comment on here, what with AC/DC and that, but George? Not so much. I knew who he was but I'm a pop music nerd and the news of his death passed even me by for a few days; I don't think it was widely reported.
Angus is still alive of course.
