2. Alan Rickman (Snape)

Yeah, and he was also 69 and also passed from cancer!

Also, apparently a musician named Lemmy passed at age 69 from cancer recently.

This is super unreal.

PS: I still haven't gotten my head around losing Alan Rickman; I think it's gonna take me a few days to process.

My wife finally got to see the Eagles last Summer in Little Rock, it was my second go around. It appears to have been his second to last Eagles performance. Thanks for the incredible catalog of music that will continue to heard and sung for decades to come.

I saw the Eagles in Little Rock in 1995. Fantastic show!

The jam session in Heaven just got even larger:

Dale 'Buffin' Griffin, drummer for Mott the Hoople, age 67, Alzheimer's
Gary Loizzo, lead singer of the American Breed, age 70, cancer
Dallas Taylor, drummer for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, age 66, "complications of viral pneumonia and kidney disease"
"Mic Gillette, renowned trumpet and trombone player and founding member of the legendary Oakland funky soul band Tower of Power", age 64, heart attack

Additionally: 'Iron' Mike Sharpe, Canadian WWE wrestler, age 64, "number of health issues in recent years"

These are the announcements I saw when I searched "death" on Facebook. I wasn't expecting to see so many.
