I opened it to see if someone was dead that I didn't know about - Dale Winton and Keith Chegwin!!!

I always thought Doris Day had died years ago and then I looked her up and found she was still alive - until 2 weeks ago!!!

My partner saw something on Facebook the other night about Muhammad Ali dying, and we both said how sad it was...before realising it was two years ago. Oops!

I never forget about Alan Rickman but it makes me so sad to think about.

BasilTheGreat · 10/06/2019 21:23

Oh Alan Rickman! Forgot about him! Great actor!

Pretty sure Richard Osman is still alive mabel at least he was when he tweeted earlier. Maybe he's tweeting from beyond the veil?!

Gedge77 · 10/06/2019 21:25

Richard Osman isnt dead!

Huggybear16 · 10/06/2019 21:26

Richard Osman isnt dead?! Wtf?!

flapjackfairy · 10/06/2019 21:26

My sister was devastated that Shaking Steven had died. Only he hadn't. She wouldn't be convinced though.
Turns out she was muddling him up with Alvin Stardust !

ShirleyPhallus · 10/06/2019 21:26

Richard Osman

Wtf, he isn’t dead!

ChristmasFluff · 10/06/2019 21:27

I'm the other way around - I think people are dead, then I hear the news they are dead, and think 'oh, I thought they were dead already'. Most recently Gordon Banks.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 10/06/2019 21:28

Robin Williams

ChristmasFluff · 10/06/2019 21:31

Crunchymum · 10/06/2019 21:36

Have to confess to forgetting Muhammad Ali is dead.

LunaFortuna · 10/06/2019 21:37

Sorry, meant the other chap! Armstrong!

Fairly sure he's alive too!

Freddie Mercury... I love his stuff but I can't listen to it without blubbing.

It's too sad.

How can people forget George Michael's death? It makes me so sad whenever I hear one of his songs played.
