The Duke of Edinburgh. I know that they still wheel him out, but he's clearly a cadaver.

Pete Postlethwaite.

Of all the deaths to forget....

Denise -from This Morning.
I'm also aware both the Hairy Bikers are alive but I could swear I watched a memorial to him on the tv at the end of every of the soap awards Confused

One of the soap awards

Leonard Cohen

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' ...

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

kenandbarbie · 10/10/2019 18:31

Wait, cheggers is dead? When?!

PralineCookie · 10/10/2019 18:32

Keith Chegwin died in December, 2017.

LoveMySituation · 10/10/2019 18:34

@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)

This really needs to come with some sort of spoiler alert in this title

Think he is still alive

balonzz · 10/10/2019 19:05

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

FatherFintanFay · 10/10/2019 19:15

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.

Terry wogans dead ? Shock

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 10/10/2019 19:41

PralineCookie · 10/10/2019 19:56

Terry Wogan died almost 4 years ago.(January 2016)

One of the chuckle brothers is dead

Juliette Kaplan Sad

Deadheadstickeronacadillac · 10/10/2019 21:44

John Thaw, Alan Rickman, David Bowie...still heartbroken over all of them

JennyBlueWren · 10/10/2019 22:08

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".
