Rose Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yes... it has just been confirmed and yes it was sad about Farrah Fawcett... another iconic figure from the 70's and 80's... I'm glad she married before she died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nectarine Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 awful news, he's part of my childhood (and the same age as me ... yikes!). I wonder who will get custody of his children as he was married to the mother of two of them for a while, and the third one is by an anonymous surrogate.Separately, re. Farrah Fawcett - sadly she didn't get married to Ryan O'Neal at the end. Apparently she was too ill and so her dying wish wasn't fulfilled. There's nothing on this morning's news about her as it has been knocked off the headlines by Michael Jackson's death.Very sad day all around - iconic childhood heroes gone.

Ron Avery Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yes sadly Farrah a lovely lady in many ways, will pass away with hardly a mention now.The media are in a frenzy over Michael Jackson, their prayers of what to cover for the next week have been answered, but are they celebrating the loss of a great talent? Well no actually, before it was even confirmed that he was dead SKY helpfully reminded everyone that he would be remembered not as a great talent, but as a child molester[:@]!! IMHO its a pity he had his real childhood was taken away from him until it was too late for him to play out with the other kids as he really wanted to without being dubbed a pervert.

Cat Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 [quote user="J.Rs gone native"]What did he die of?[/quote]A heart attack is suspected.Until the post mortem results are available, the actual cause is pure speculation at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Whether it's Billy Jean, Beat it or Thriller, the first few bars bring the 80s back to life for me. He was unique and his best-known songs are a huge part of the soundtrack of my early adult years.Today, I feel as old as my years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just john Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 To me Michael Jackson had something in his music that flicked the electricity switch on whenever you heard it, especially on a dancefloor, he certainly inspired a thriller routine. [8-|]As for the other stuff, well it is as memorable as the black dog in David Niven's life, he will mostly be remembered for being a charmer surely?.

It just seems so odd that they keep saying he was 50? Of course he must be but it still seems too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It is never pleasant when someones brother and son dies but dearly beloved we must move on and face the future.I was lucky enough not to know him personally or enjoy his music and neither his way of life but we must all celebrate the talents he bought to earth.We must now celebrate his life with the witty and funny stories that surround his demise.These are not available from good record stores and only through my PM.I wish all Michel Jacksons mourners my condolences and in the words of the late great Hughie Green 'I mean that most sincerely'.

Clarkkent Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I was sorry to hear about Michael Jackson's death, though I did not relate to his music.Moving on, there are likely to be problems concerning the refunds for his London concerts. Those who bought tickets from legitimate outlets will have no problem, but many people decided to pay highly inflated prices from internet touts. They will lose twice over.

No wonder you never meet up outside the lodge. But I bet he taught you some dance moves! Was it you and the other lodge members in that zombie video the BBC keep playing?PS Is plastic surgery and skin whitening compulsory in 32 and a half degree?
