Aw no!

Tony Angelino · 11 November, 2016, 10:20:02 PM

He was also until now the last surviving member of the original Magnificent Seven.

Terrible news about Robert Vaughn. I loved man from UNCLE. RIP.

Another great actor gone. I always remember him as the traumatized Gunfighter in The Magnificent Seven. Time passes on and takes us all in the end but this year has been one hell of a taker.

Loved Bridge at Remagen. One of my favourite war movies.

The great Sharon Jones of Daptone fame has died at 60 - saw her at Glastonbury 2014 and she was utterly phenomenal.

There's a video of a bit of that Glasto performance for those who are interested as well -

Agreed. Sharon Jones was fucking fantastic.

Ron Thornton, pretty much a pioneer of getting CGI into broadcast via Amiga/Video Toasters and Lightwave.

No! Dreadful. Sorry to hear of his passing beyond the vale and aged only 44 too.

This is quite sad and little bit bewildering. The Inspiral Carpets at the Network in Edinburgh was one of the first gigs I ever went just with my mates when we were 16. This would've been just before their first album, so that means he must've been about 14 when they started!

A truly massive figure from the 20th Century. I visited Cuba in 2006 and its hard to underestimate this impact on the country and the diveristy and complexity of the Cuban peoples view of him.

Wow. You have to hand it to him, he achieved a fair bit over his lifetime
