Emma Chambers is always a shock to me, when I recall that she’s passed away now. She was so young!

Also, I’m re-watching Glee on Netflix for the first time in years, and it keeps striking me as odd that both Cory Monteith and Mark Salling are dead now.

I was watching Law and Order: SVU earlier and Robin Williams guest starred in it and was happily watching and then googling you tube videos of him and laughing away and then bam! a memorial video came up and I was stunned as I had forgotten he had died.

David Bowie is the one that gets me in the guts every time. I don’t forget he’s died, I know he’s no longer with us but it really upsets me every time I remember. I’ve yet to listen to Blackstar. I just can’t, I’d be beyond a wreck.

I don't forget that George Michael is dead but I do feel sad about it every time I remember. Far too soon.

Crass or not, I miss him a lot and wish he had taken more care

More care? To not catch a disease, that he may have had, since long before he had any knowledge of it's existence?

Still, if only Freddy had known that an individual on Mumsnet would miss him and find it hard to forgive him for such foolishness, I am sure he would have perfected his prescient abilities.

I often ask DH: "are they still alive?" or "did he die?" Last one was Dale Winton (dead) when he was showing DS "Hole in the Wall".

Richard O'Sullivan is definitely alive. I wonder if you were thinking of Richard Beckinsale? He was in 70s sitcoms and had a similar hairdo, and died very young.

Yes I don't think Richard O'sullivan is dead yet. He was in the papers recently meeting Meghan Markle

@Zafferana sadly, I don't think Pete's body could cope with the hundreds of procedures he had. Such a shame he didn't feel as gorgeous on the inside as he was on the outside (in the 80's)

Loads of favourites but disbelieving of George Michael. He had the most beautiful voice.

I'd completely forgotten that Keith Chegwin was dead - Cheggers Plays Pop - never again Sad Pete Burns too - he was very odd - but dead? Surely they're both far too young. Corey Haim too - I remember him as a kid in 'The Lost Boys', so young.

I also forget that Ronnie Corbett (I loved The Two Ronnies), Alan Rickman and Bill Paxton. It's so tragic when people die before their time - Bill Paxton was so good looking in 'Aliens' ...
