And it doesn't even include Leonard Cohen. Or the next seven weeks! Aaaargh!!
At least Joe Coker isn't on there.
Is Joe Cocker dead?
Lol 🙂
Is it too late too add Noel Edmunds?
I'm pretty sure more than that have died otherwise immigration is the least of our worries.
Wait? Joe Cocker? Say it isn't so.
Wow.... has Aaron Ramsey really scored so many goals ?? 😆
We've got a "Celebrity Dead Pool" running in the office. Pick 5 celebs, one gets double points as a "banker", and whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins. Amazing to think that in such a rich vein of gliterati mortality not one person has scored.
Radio 4 show More or Less did a piece on this which is worth a listen...
A number of people have asked the team if more famous people have died this year compared to other years. It's a hard one to measure - but we have had a go at some back of the envelope calculations with data from Who's Who and BBC obituaries. Is the intuitive feeling that more people have died this year misplaced?
