Chatting to DH about celebrities who have died in 2023 and I mentioned that Sheena Easton died years ago but couldn't remember what from. Googled and the poor woman is well and thriving.

Sorry Sheena if you're reading.

Not a clue why I felt so sure about her passing away.

I surprise myself at least once a year by finding out either;

That John Goodman isn't dead

and

Roy Orbison wasn't blind.

She is also incredibly wealthy from various properties she invested in. I'm talking about 50+million wealthy. That's surprised me when I found out.

Sheena is alive and kicking as far as I'm aware. I never thought that Roy Orbison was blind 😳

Roy Orbison isnt blind????? Why did he always wear those dark sunglasses then? 😳

Wait, John Goodman’s still alive?

I just checked and yes, he is. Maybe I confused him with John Candy?

I thought Sheena Easton died in the 80s/90s 😱

I thought she did too!

I was amazed that Roy Orbison wasn't blind. Apparently he wore sunglasses to help performance anxiety.

I watched something with Sheena Easton in yesterday 😁

Albeit from the 80s. Never crossed my mind she might be dead now.

I could have sworn Tony Christie [Amarillo] died last year but nope, new album out and touring next year, aged 80. 😮

Every time I'm reminded John Goodman is still alive it surprises me. I have no idea what that's about!

When Bernard Cribbins died a year ago I was astonished he was still alive. He died aged 94 bless him.

LakeTiticaca · 29/12/2023 15:06

Google says that Roy Orbison wasn't blind but had poor vision x

autienotnaughty · 29/12/2023 18:14

I definitely remember John Goodman dying I don't care what Google says

Catlover1705 · 29/12/2023 18:17

I was shocked when Henry Kissinger died recently at 100, I assumed he had died years ago.

Awrite · 29/12/2023 18:21

I think all the John Goodman death rememberers are remembering John Candy's death.

Can't believe Roy Orbison wasn't blind. I always remember my Mum telling me he had a tragic life. Kids dying I think.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 29/12/2023 18:29

What now?

Off to google Roy Orbison.

I only just found out in a training Stephen Hawkins died! I did not know this! 🤦‍♀️
