Tom Sizemore: Saving Private Ryan actor dies at 61 after brain aneurysm https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64721187

Thought he was a very believable actor, especially as a hard b. Very good actor and in some tremendous movies

Sore one. He's all over my music collection. I saw him once, with Jackson Browne at Glastonbury.

"Not so much a multi-instrumentalist as a maxi-instrumentalist" is how he was once described. He had no idea how many instruments he could play. And, of course, those amazing falsetto vocals on "Stay" by Jackson Browne.....

Wayne Shorter, jazz sax player extraordinaire.

Best known, to me, for Weather Report and Steely Dan. That solo on Aja.....

For me it was his work with the Jazz Messengers, but even more so for his work with Miles. “In A Silent Way” is one of my favourite albums, let alone jazz albums. “Miles In The Sky” was another great piece of work. A very talented man.

Relentless.

Today, it's Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Last of the originals.

This might sound a bit crass given she’s died but I have absolutely no time for her ilk. Playing on people’s emotions.

I'm not too bothered about astrologers, they're pretty harmless but the 'psychics' and 'ghost channellers' are the real vampires, making people think they can communicate with dead loved ones and extracting money out of them to enable them to do it. Real **** of the earth to do that.

Dick Fosbury now.

Very few people can genuinely say they changed their sport for ever. He was one such athlete.

I remember a guy at school attempting it for the 1st time at sports practice despite everyone being ordered not to. Smashed the back of his head on the bar, blood everywhere. Teacher made sure he gave him a bollocking first before running to his aid 😁

Hadn't heard that particular remix, ta. Sinead

Their music lent itself to so many remixes.

It's really sad, always thought he came across as genuine and unaffected by fame. He had two heart attacks, the first was when he was in his 40's. RIP.

Yeh, he didn't keep the best of health. Like you I always thought he seemed a really decent guy, quite humble behind a sometimes quite spiky personality.

Aye he came across as one of the good guys. Dogs seemed to like him and I'd trust them as a judge of character over most humans.

Seemingly a history of heart problems in the family and as you said he had problems health wise a few years ago, a ticking time bomb. Very sad as he seemed a genuinely lovely man. RIP.

Read both his parents had a heart attack on the same day, only one survived. I can't begin to imagine that sort of circumstance and the effect that shock would have on me.
