When Bowie died someone here on MN predicted George might be taken in 2016 also

Never knew much about him but I am a bit shocked. Thoughts with his family

The80sweregreat · 25/12/2016 23:26

Heal the Pain.

How could this year get any worse?

paulapantsdown · 25/12/2016 23:30

Such a talented man - I can't believe it! I could make a playlist of all my favourite songs and most of the would be by people who have died in 2016.

TwistyBraStrap · 25/12/2016 23:31

Can't believe it, he was so young. RIP

OhWellNeverMindEh · 25/12/2016 23:33

I'm completely gutted, one of my favourites, the soundtrack to my childhood, teenage ups and downs and adulthood.

So sad

Blacksox · 25/12/2016 23:33

He was a huge talent back in the day. When I was about 20, I think, we were all crazy about 'Listen Without Prejudice' - what a great album.

He seemed a bit of a car crash for the last few years - very sad.

Madeyemoodysmum · 25/12/2016 23:34

So sad. I love wham Bless his family. Rip George

Blacksox · 25/12/2016 23:36

I was just explaining last night to my dcs who he was whilst we watched old Christmas videos on tv. We were all giggling over his dodgy hair in the 'Last Christmas' video and I was saying how fab the B side of that record was.

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 25/12/2016 23:36

Been a bitch of a year. RIP 2016

NotStoppedAllDay · 25/12/2016 23:42

black what was the b side?

DailyFail1 · 25/12/2016 23:43

I'm so heartbroken right now.

QueenOfTheSardines · 25/12/2016 23:43

What? I.... what? That's just, I can't believe it. He's young ffs. Oh God.

Blacksox · 25/12/2016 23:47

B side was 'Everything She Wants' - their best song, imo.

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 25/12/2016 23:49

I am shocked Shock
How sad for his family and friends.

TheFuckitBuckit · 25/12/2016 23:49

Shocked to hear this. Was saddened to hear of Greg Lake's ( I believe in Father Christmas)recent passing just the other day.
Dh told me about Rick Parfitt last night, and my first response was "There will be another one before the year is out!"
I have no idea why I said that or where it even came from but didn't expect this.
We were just watching him perform in band aid this morning and had a convo about him with dd. Sad

NotStoppedAllDay · 25/12/2016 23:58

Oh yes. I know the song

Father figure was one of my faves I think

aquashiv · 26/12/2016 00:00

So sad. 😥

tiddlyipom · 26/12/2016 00:14

DH told me this morning and it has knocked me sideways.
Loved Wham!
I saw their final concert Wembley, how can that be 30 years ago?

This has been a horrible year, Prince, David Bowie, George Michael, very, very sad.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 26/12/2016 00:21

This morning tiddly? Confused
