RIP I once played football against the Show Biz X1 in a charity football match when Dennis Waterman was playing. We hosted the day at our ground in Finchley. He seemed like a real good guy and like others enjoyed everything he appeared in on TV. I don't recall Ruia being present as I am sure I would have remembered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Symonds play a few Test and One Dayers - he was a throwback to the 'lets have a beer and some fun' days of the 60/70s Australian Cricket.

Don’t watch cricket being from 🇨🇦, but seeing this caption gave me shivers. These 2 I’m assuming knew each other well, Shane passes at 53, Andrew attends his funeral, then gone himself at 46 soon after? Life is not fair….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the real Henry Hill was actually little more than a junkie and small time thief, Goodfellas is one of my favourite films, seen it at least 30 times. He had played on NBC recently opposite JLo as a closeted gay corrupt cop, think it lasted 3 seasons. Seriously I’m gutted, 67 way too young nowadays.

Like you boys, Goodfellas still one of my favourite movies of all time. Him and Joe Pesci were brilliant. Ray was the same age as me ffs. Really makes you think . . At least he died in his sleep. Great way to go. Rest in peace Ray. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodfellas is of course the obvious one, but I forgot how many decent roles he played in, that I watched over the years. Never saw Something Wild or Field of Dreams, but he was Depp’s poor Dad in Blow, and just now was in Many Saints of Newark too. There was a crazy island prison flick, forgot the name….Killing me Softly, Narc, Smokin’ Aces, Identity, John Q….. Sure he was in plenty of flops, but definitely a great actor of the past 3 decades 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Very sad news about Ray, been in some great films and, as everybody says, Goodfellas is one of the best of the best and Ray was sublime. Very sad news indeed. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessongs Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 My best friend whom I had seen every "Yes" tour with since 1974, told me Alan White passed away this afternoon. Guy was great over all those years with "Yes" Nice guy too, having met him 3 different times, last time was 2019 here locally. Answered all of your questions. Distinctly remember asking him back in 2004, how he does it night after night? He told me " The hardest part is after the sound check, you eat, then you realize how tired you are as we pretty much come into that particular city, get checked in at the hotel, then come over to the gig" RIP Alan White... https://yesworld.com/ 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieBob Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) So many famous people passing away that had an impact on my life - many of them same/younger in age as myself - including people I have met. I hate getting older and watching them fall away - but life goes on. Edited May 27, 2022 by AussieBob 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - nothing can kill Keith Richards - unbelievable that after so many drugs he is still alive - maybe that is what is keeping him alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
