Was shocked to hear this news last night, Pete Shelley was a real one-off for me. I know punk & new wave music is far from everyone's liking but the Buzzcocks had a unique sound and Shelley was the main reason for that. Great songwriter and frontman and such an unlikely pioneer in music during a very violent and aggressive phase.

I was lucky to be right in to that scene when the Buzzcocks charted etc but funnily enough haven't seen them gigging that often. RIP.

Actress Sondra Locke, who was best known for making six movies with Clint Eastwood, has died at the age of 74.

Former Lib Dem leader Paddy Ashdown dies aged 77.

Laverne out of Laverne & Shirley died in the week as well, Penny Marshall her real name. Sad news. she was a great director too, I've only just read about it. 'Laverne & Shirley' was a spin-off from Happy Days and pretty good IMO.

Never really thought about it but always considered Paddy Ashdown to be a lot older than me. Would have guessed about 85. He was 5 years younger than me. RIP.
Very principled politician and you can't say that about many.

Dame June Whitfield died today aged 93.
