George Michael Dies

[AndyM]

This year has definitely been one of the worst years for rock and pop hero's and gods.

Now, George Michael has gone and joined the list of singers that will sadly be missed

Brings back fond memories of driving my kids to school and hearing him/them (Wham!) on the radio.

It certainly has been one of the worst ever..

A close friend literally described this year as "Brutal" when she heard this news

Wow..so saddened. Back in my single years, his album "Listen without Prejudice" was one of the CD's I'd throw in when getting my groove on with the women...mixed in with Enya, and Enigma

This sucked. I had "Last Christmas" on loop when I found out Sunday.

This year just keeps taking them ....

And now Carrie Fisher has died too

To top it off, 2016 is both a leap year and has a leap second added to the end. Just what this year needed - extra time for grief.

 

[AndyM]

Oh FFS!!! Now Carrie Fisher!!

And in the U.K., we had Liz Smith who plays nana in The Royal Family die today!

2016 is truly a brutal year!

If 2016 hadn't been a leap year, he would have escaped it.
