windymiller7 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 RIP Denise. Only a bit part, but part nonetheless on one of my favourite 90s tunes- Primal Scream's Moving On Up. If you like this sort of music btw, check out White Lines on Netflix. Thanks for the memories (or lack of!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Mike E Posted August 3, 2020 Backroom Share Posted August 3, 2020 Slightly obscure one, but Tony Morris has died, 57, of kidney cancer. Presented with Lucy Meacock on ITV Granada News, winning a Bafta (first ever for a regional news programme) for coverage of the 2007 Morecambe Bay cockle picking tragedy.

Mattyblue Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Massive reaction on social media. I think it’s sometimes forgotten how local evening news still pulls in the ratings. North West Tonight and Granada Reports are some of the most popular programmes on TV up here. So it really hits people when the likes of Tony and Diane Oxberry pass away.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I bit belated but Wayne Fontana died on Friday. I saw him at the height of his powers with the Mindbenders at the Cubi-Klub in Rochdale back in the day. He was an excellent singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted August 29, 2020 Backroom Share Posted August 29, 2020 Chadwick Boseman has died at 43, this one hits hard for me. For those that don’t know he was an actor most famous for playing Black Panther in the MCU. Apparently been privately battling colon cancer for 4 years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt83 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I must admit I’d never heard of this bloke or the black panther film before today. And I’m still none the wiser on how he’s meant to have changed the world as someone on the bbc news claimed. But I’ve all the respect in the world for someone clearly in the public eye who’s had cancer for 4 years and kept it secret without milking it.

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted August 29, 2020 Moderation Lead Share Posted August 29, 2020 Can’t deny that the only thing I’ve seen him in was Black Panther, but he was excellent in that and it was a film I really enjoyed. He must have been suffering when he was filming Black Panther as well. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Rassragr Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Black Panther was a huge film, especially for the SJW types who made a big thing about almost all the cast and crew were black. It was even nominated for some Oscars, which is really rare for a superhero blockbuster. If you take the whole marketing campaign based on racial politics out of it, BP is like all the other Marvel films but that's not really a bad formula to follow.

Backroom Mike E Posted September 11, 2020 Backroom Share Posted September 11, 2020 Diana Rigg has hit me a bit. Similar to when Alan Rickman died. Extremely talented actress, who 'made it' right from the start. If you can be revered in diverse appearance as a Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show and Game of Thrones and all areas in between, you're fantastic at what you do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldjamfan1 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Johnny Nash (of I Can See Clearly Now’ and ‘Tears On My Pillow’ fame) has passed, aged 80. Legend has it he sorted out Bob Marley’s recording contract so for that alone we thank you and RIP sir.

A stark reminder too that Covid is an indiscriminate killer. RIP Bobby, an iconic, funny man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
