There's a horrible irony to this.  The guy behind one of the biggest Christmas hits dies on Christmas.  RIP.  :(

That is, indeed, bitterly ironic.  He was only 53 as well.  Way too young, like a number of other figures in the world of pop this year.

Rick Parfett of Status Quo also joined the lengthy list yesterday.

Carrie Fisher made her toughness check though, that's something. When 2016 goes after the generals we're all lost.

Indeed.  That was pretty worrying news for a while as well.

2016 can kindly just beslubber off as far as I'm concerned. Truly terrible year for so many reasons.

I was about to post about Carrie Fisher but you beat me to it. Well played good sir.

Amen to that.

I feared for her when I heard the news about her being admitted to hospital.  It's all very sad.  What a grim couple of days.
