Sad news ... celebrity deaths.

[Goosfrabba]

Didn't realise he was diagnosed with Cancer in 2023

I knew that he was battling cancer but there was a recent update saying he was in remission.

Wonder if his death is related to the cancer or something else

Yeah, tough to know. I have know a few people who were pronounced clear of cancer but then get re-diagnosed with a much more aggressive case and passed away verysoon after. But yeah, all speculation at this stage

Concert promoter, DJ and radio personality Kerry Ann Allerston said that McLennan was legendary.

Oh damn. She was awesome.

I met her a few times as my mate was her nephew. I saw a few of their "final" gigs and the live 5fm show they did with Barney Simon. Flipping bad ass drummer.

No, Sam! One of my favourite actors.

R. I. P. Sam Neil.

Man was in so many productions. Long before Jurassic Park he was in the cult classic, EVENT HORIZON.
What a movie that was then.

Event Horizon came out after Jurassic Park. But that's the one I remember him for anyway, the eye-gouging psychopath...

Thanks. Somehow I thought EH was earlier. Man was in so much stuff I wouldn't have bothered with, but gave it a watch simply because I saw he was in it.

 

[MaxQz]

Always enjoyed Sam Neill in anything he was in... and somehow with his presence I felt reassured.
Don't forget 'In the Mouth of Madness'.

Great allrounder!

Is thia the thread we check in / follow to feel old?

Off topic, but yesterday I had the opposite experience: One of the owners in the block called me 'young man'. I am 64. He is 85...
