So many men dying young

[BrentCross]

Bowie, Glenn Frey, Alan Rickman, now Colin Vearncombe. In my own circle 3 died in the last year 1 suicide 1 car crash 1 cancer. Sad. If I ever meet a nice kind man I will worry about him dying on me like DF aged 57. They think they are so strong but they burn out so soon.

Sorry for your losses, but bowie, frey and rickman weren't particularly young?

Well 69 looks good vs 57 but I suppose relative to what life expectancy is. You just don't know do you?

I am sad about them all passing but am especially upset about Colin's death.
I grew up with his beautiful music and still love it today. He had the most beautiful voice.
I had the great pleasure of seeing him live in concert twice, coincidentally both times i was pregnant with my children. I got to meet him afterwards and he was a lovely, charming and incredibly warm man.
His death is such a tragedy.
My thoughts go out to his family.

Hadn't heard about Colin Vearncombe. Oh shit. That album got me through some really really terrible times as a kid. :(

It's so sad when people die, especially our heroes.

But 'so many men dying young'? Men in their late 60s? Really?
