Celebrity Death Pool!

[Ran]

Franco Harris, 72. Passed away just a couple days short of the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. The Steelers were going to retire his jersey number this weekend. (Not sure why it took them this long to do that). He did a couple interviews the day before he passed and said he was feeling fine.

Thom Bell. Not a household name, but an extremely important music producer. If you listened to any R&B from the 70s, you know his work.

Pelé.

I played soccer, both spring league and fall league every year from when I was three until I was 16.

Fuck cancer.

I loved "Victory" (Escape to Victory) as a soccer playing kid. Him drawing the simplified plan on the chalkboard was the clip I wanted to link here but I can't seem to find it. RIP, Pele.

Barbara Walters, 93.
Cause of death is unreleased so far.

Kidhuman gets a point. Somebody let him know.

Pope Benedict, 95.

[anarky]

Jeff Beck, the greatest of the three Yardbirds guitarists, and the man who made Rod Stewart so cool that no number of Great American Songbook albums can pussify him.

78, of spinal meningitis if I recall correctly. Still in shock; the guy was old but he just released another pretty cutting-edge album (with Johnny Depp) something like six months ago.

One of my uncles plays guitar and loved Jeff Beck. He told me to start with the Blow by Blow album.

[Tom Foolery]

Lisa Marie Presley, daughter to the King, and ex-wife to both the Prince of Pop and Nicholas Cage, from a cardiac episode.
She was 54, the same age as JJReason.

Odjick was diagnosed with AL Amyloidosis back in 2014. It’s a condition where proteins form deposits on the heart, which eventually leads to the organ ceasing to function. Odjick was given just months to live at the time, but turned to an experimental treatment for his rare disease.

David Crosby, 81.

It hadn't clicked until reading that how old the members of CSN&sometimesY are. Were, in Crosby's case.

The world is one legendary mustache poorer.

Cindy Williams, from Laverne&Shirley and also American Graffiti. She was 75.

She was on the short list to be Princess Leia.

[Diabolical]

We were hit with a trifecta.

Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams, 64, stroke.

Bobby Hull, The Goodness Jet, 84.
