RIPs

[Goaty]

Sorry, as accurate reports said 22 injured, 2 dead according to @Boston_Police

The only saving grace is that it happened long after the first finishers and by then the crowds would have thinned considerably.

Reports this morning been more than 100 injured and three dead including an 8 year old boy. Bloody awful.

Richard LeParmentier.

Admiral Motti in Star Wars.

An absolute gent of a man who was incredibly witty and kind. Simply a really great guy who will be missed.

Sad news, as is all the news about Boston, and the Iran earthquake.

Ah shit..!

Absolutely gutting. He's a bit of genius that one, all the great covers he's left us with!

One of my favourite anecdotes about him was from Bruce Dickinson who said that during the filming of one of his videos he said to Thorgerson "You don't know what you're doing do you?" and he replied "Of course not old chap, keep it under your hat!"

ahaha

RIP

Without a doubt, he's created some truly iconic covers over the years. And Storm Thorgerson is such a great sounding name, isnt it.

Aye, RIP.

Richie Havens....

Saw him twice live and a more gentle, beautiful soul you could not wish to meet.  Still, I remember the little speech he gave when I saw him many years back about the life he had lived, so shouldnt be too sad, but even so...

Not wanting to be disrespectful, but who was Richie Havens?  I've led a sheltered life.

Chrissie Amphlett just died.  She was lead singer for the Divynls, who had three hits in the 80s, most notably 'I touch myself' which came back in the Austen Powers movie.  Used to sing in a school uniform and no undies (allegedly)
