Terribly sad about Charlie Murphy, leukemia at 57

2017 is already worse than 2016

Rick James, Prince, now Charlie Murphy.

 

Mannn...

 

Dave Chappelle better watch out it seems. RIP Charlie Murphy.

Sad. I've been reading about her. Had no money. Moved in with her elderly mother in law til mom in law kicked her out for partying too much. In reading about her though I did learn Don Most (Ralph Malph) is a successful jazz singer and Anson Williams (Potsie) has done OK directing. And of course Henry Winkler did OK and Ron Howard is a gazillionaire.

Big Black from Rob and Big died at 45 today. Do work son! RiP

Former MLB ump Steve Palermo.

 

Great umpire, was paralyzed trying to help someone during a robbery attempt.

 

Met him once when he came to give a motivational speech at a children's shelter in KC I where I was tutoring, really impressive human being.

The megastars of the Grunge era are down to one. RIP, Chris Cornell, you were incredibly unique

Man, this one really sucks. RIP. They were mid tour too, so sad.

Police have said they're investigating it as a suicide. I don't even.

 

It would make it the same day as Ian Curtis.

 

Their final song included a cover of Zeppelin's In My Time of Dying (something they've done before tho)

 

 

so eerie

 

so sad, I just saw them last week here in Indy...

Gonna listen to a whole lotta Soundgarden today.

In better news, Roger Ailes is also dead.

Former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, 77.

Haha, indeed. Good riddance.

Unconfirmed but sounds like suicide for Cornell.

Absolutely horrible.. I was fortunate enough to see Chris Cornell play last year. Another massive talent gone. RiP

Sad to hear about Cornell. Real talent. I got to see the mini-Temple of the Dog reunion/Mother Love Bone tribute they did with him as an encore at Pearl Jam's 20th up at Alpine Valley. I like Soundgarden, but for some reason found it harder to get into than Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, or even Nirvana. Nevertheless, I do own their albums and will be giving them a spin. This was shocking news to wake up to.

My favorite artist from my favorite band. I am very sad today.

I agree with you on that.

 

I was at Alpine for that show as well and was disappointed by the encore a little at the time as I thought it was too much Chris Cornell....afterward I appreciated it more.

 

Really sad that he, Lane and Kurt are gone.

 

There isn't enough music around to be losing them.

 

 

and Scott*

 

There are some things around Detroit suggesting Autoerotic Asphyxiation. Very sad.

Chris Cornell was the first artist I actually discovered essentially by myself and I fell in love with his music. Probably the most recognizable and distinguished voice of all time, and really, his singing voice was an instrument of its own. So many classic songs.

 

One of the best. RIP. I was in Wal-Mart Tuesday night and found Audioslave's self-titled album in the $5 section. I have the CD somewhere, but rather than look, figured I'd just buy a new copy. Started playing it in my car yesterday. Then this.
