Sabine Schmitz, AKA Queen of the Nürburgring, has passed away at 51 from cancer. Probably the greatest female race driver of all time, and great fun to watch on Top Gear whenever she was on screen.

Richard Donner has passed away at 91..
The Goonies is still one of my all time faves.
Joey Jordinson passed away. OG slipknot drummer. Only 46 as well
And now Dusty Hill has died. ZZ Top used to always find their way onto the stereo at home when I was growing up and I always love busting out their greatest hits every once in awhile.
It's gonna be fun switching between early Slipknot and ZZ Top all week tho, definitely a few differences in tone and energy between the two.
Gerd Müller.. A goalscoring legend..
Sean Lock, one of my favourite British comedians, has died at 58 from skin cancer. Absolutely hilarious guy.
Found out whilst actually watching some old 8 our of 10 cats episodes with the missus, so at least he gets to cheer us up himself.
Noooooooooo....
Just horrible news!
Few more famous deaths..
- Charlie Watts (drummer for Rolling Stones) has died aged 80.. Suspected from throat cancer?

Norm Macdonald RIP :(
On his battle with cancer: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”
Nobody put up Jimmy Greaves?
Belated RIP.
John Elliott, smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish, called a spade a spade and didn't give a stuff. Didn't mind him
Alan "Nuff" Lancaster - Status Quo original bassist and Party Boys member here. Died in Sydney from MS aged 72.
Tough little s***. Famous for knocking out four Vienna airport staff wanting to cavity search him, getting the band chucked in the clink.
Loved his versions of "Roadhouse Blues"

Taylor Hawkins. Really can't believe it
Mino Raiola has died this week
few people have changed football as he has, and I'm sure his passing will be noted by some
Paul Pogba will now have to find an agent who will actually get him to play good football for his clubQuote:

49 year old Paul Green committed suicide, won the Cowboys their first NRL premiership in 2015 and seemed to be very widely respected and loved by those in the game. Don't know the circumstances of how it came about, but suicide is definitely a problem that everyone needs to talk about. It doesn't discriminate.
This year alone I've known a 22 yr old kid at work with the world at his feet and 36 yr old mother of two beautiful girls who also went down that path. Do your best to talk to people if you think they need help and do it yourself if you think you need some. Hell, PM me if you feel the need. Plenty of good people on this sub would rather have a conversation with you about your problems than hear about the alternative.
Well said Frodo.Quote:

Julia definitely deserves one, we all missed that one. Olivia was obviously all over every TV so not really needed to be mentioned for everyone to know it happened. Both were very important women.Quote:
