Celebrity deaths always come in threes

Kids' author, old film actor, alternative comedian, Tone? A striker's hat-trick

Meanwhile....here comes another three.

Ruby Dee dies at 91: Oscar-nominated actress and civil rights legend passes away at New York home surrounded by her loved ones.

Followed today by Carla Laemmle

The star was one of the last entertainers left alive from the silent film era and was best known for playing the prima ballerina in 1925's The Phantom Of The Opera.

Number three:

Swing bowling all-rounder Gary Gilmour, who tore through England in the semi-final of the first World Cup in 1975, has died at 62.
He battled health problems for years and complications escalated after a recent fall.
The left-armer took six for 14 against England in the 1975 World Cup semi-final at Headingley.

What was sad about Gilmour was the fact that his son Clint died of brain cancer aged 33 just 12 weeks ago.
Imagine how his wife must be feeling right now.

This is getting ridiculous now:

Jimmy Scott, US jazz singer and Twin Peaks star, dies aged 88

when I think about it I know as many people who have died 60 -70 as over that age ,    are people still living longer ?   maybe they are trying to keep the pension bill down

I'm council estate filth, Jonesy, but we seem to be like cockroaches - 70 is a start point, it seems and I know a bloke who is old enough to have relieved Belsen. The war generation around here refuse to die - they disagree with the concept as much and as long as they can

This threads not about the age of people who are dying, it's about the fact that celebrity deaths come in threes.....two hat ticks there in less than 4 days MJ.

I don't want to get old ,well not old but infirm

I knew you would say that I don't think the definition of celebrity is being adhered to

A celebrity is anyone with a Wikipedia entry.

  

So who on this thread was not a celebrity MJ?

On the whole thread   ,loads of them IMO ,the definition is not a wiki entry

Piers Morgan has a wiki entry. Wishful thinking rather than celebrity would get him on this thread

Fuck me, I type that, click on the test match page and there he is in his typical "sucking a lemon flavoured cock" pursed lips face
