A massive loss for all football fans. Madden was a legend.

I've watched a many of classic games that he commentated alongside Pat Summeral. Together, those two had a way of breaking down plays and explaining the game that made it easy to understand.

Betty White was 2 weeks away from her 100th birthday. Sad to see, many people were rooting for her to hit 100.

This one is definitely a shocker. And a devastating loss for comedy as a whole.

I am shocked/ Saw him in the 80's in London with Bob Kulick on guitar. Awesome.

Heard this very sad news on radio this morning. Fantastic singer. Bat Out of Hell album just superb. His voice was both Rock and Musical Theatre. I believe he said that he regarded himself as an actor first, did lots of stage musicals and was great in the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie.

Meat Loaf was a great actor too. He was in a lot of different movies varying from serious roles to comedies.

Barry Cryer, legendary British Comedy Writer and Performer died aged 86 on 25 January 2022. He worked with most of the greatest from the 1960's onwards including shows such as 'The Frost Report', 'The Two Ronnies', the Monty Python team and Kenny Everett. Also, he was a panelist on radio in 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue'.

He also worked with lots of big American stars when they came to the UK. He could tell fantastic stories, plenty of memories on TV, radio. As ever, lots of his stuff on YouTube. Seemed to be a very good and decent man by all accounts.
