Glenn Frey, David Bowie, Prince.......

Still raging I missed the chance to see Eagles on their last European tour.

Not going to make that mistake when Don Henley comes back over in June.

He's not dead yet but after what he did to the Tully's and the Stark's, it has to be around the corner.

The BBC had a link yesterday to Percy Sledge's death as well. I knew he died last year - I thought it must have been one hell of a comeback tour I'd missed.

Here's one that slipped past us in February. Tony Burton, famous for his role as Duke, Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creeds trainer in the Rocky films died in February.

He was also a pro boxer himself. He was 78.
