    Ron Glass can be added to the list keeping the funeral directors busy this year.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I picked Justin Bieber. His continuing life is conclusive evidence that there is no god

    Greg Lake, of ELP and King Crimson.

    Boo to 2016 and the musician toll. Keith Emerson took himself out earlier this year.

    Indeed, on Morrisey's autobiography:
    AA Gill wrote:
    What is surprising is that any publisher would want to publish the book, not because it is any worse than a lot of other pop memoirs, but because Morrissey is plainly the most ornery, cantankerous, entitled, whingeing, self-martyred human being who ever drew breath. And those are just his good qualities.
    More here.

    That's a pretty much spot on description of Morrisey.
  • The whole family watched the last Life on Earth 2 last night and said, in unison, that 2016 has been such a shit year that it will claim David Attenborough before it's done. And that will be conclusive proof that there definitely isn't a god.

    Zsa Zsa Gabor, not surprisingly given she was 99.
    Need to start thinking about next year's prospects.

    Henry Heimlich is another from recent days, apparently he choked to death. If only somebody had thought of some manoeuvre to stop someone from choking.

    She needs to use the force!

    Some british astronaut type has boldly gone and now Rick Parfitt.

    Really wouldn't want to be a celeb knowing the 2016 hasn't finished it's cull.
