$1:

Lisa Marie Presley, singer and the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, has died at the age of 54, after suddenly being hospitalised on Thursday.

Her 77-year-old mother confirmed Presley’s death later on Thursday night.

“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement. “She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.”

Presley was taken to hospital from her home in Calabasas, California, after a reported cardiac arrest, TMZ first reported. Her mother asked fans to keep her daughter in their prayers in a statement issued when the news first broke

Lisa Marie Presley, singer and daughter of Elvis, dies aged 54

When I had read earlier that afternoon that she had been taken to hospital I just knew bad news would come soon. Then it did...

She was the same age as I am and I still remember the day her father died quite clearly. She had a strange and difficult life and I always felt a bit of sympathy (perhaps not quite accurate) for her living in the shadow of who her father was.

RIP Lisa Marie.

How fitting that the above post by xerxes about the passing of Gino appears on page 29 of this thread.

A very sad passing for sure as I remember attending several games in the 90's and chanting his name whenever he was on the ice. He made such an impact on the team, the city and the NHL in general for being an inspiration to indigenous youth even well after his playing days ended.

I was at the first game he played in as a Canuck on November 21st 1990. I dug into one of my storage bins last night where I have all kinds of memorabilia, including game programs, and I found that particular one and I had also kept the handout from the game (2pg media type game notes) that had mention of him being a call-up from the AHL for that game due to injuries to other players and added to the roster after the program had already been printed.

RIP Gino and thank you for being you.

...and actor. I remember seeing a pirate in Hook and saying to myself, 'that looks like David Crosby'.

RIP

I just noticed looking back on this page that this one was missed (Jan 12th):

Robbie Bachman, drummer and co-founder of Bachman-Turner Overdrive, dead at 69

$1:

"Another sad departure. The pounding beat behind BTO, my little brother Robbie has joined mum, dad & brother Gary on the other side," Randy Bachman wrote on Twitter.

He pointed out that Bachman's death closely follows that of British rock guitarist Jeff Beck, who died on Jan. 10 at 78 years old.

"Maybe Jeff Beck needs a drummer! He was an integral cog in our rock 'n' roll machine and we rocked the world together."

Quite the band they have in the great beyond now...

Another that didn't seem to make the newsreels:

Gina Lollobrigida, Italian screen star, dead at 95

$1:

A role opposite Humphrey Bogart in John Huston's 1954 film Beat the Devil sealed her worldwide fame, and in 1955 she made what became one of her signature films, The World's Most Beautiful Woman.

Despite playing opposite other American stars such as Frank Sinatra, Rock Hudson and Burt Lancaster, she never clicked with Hollywood and preferred to work closer to home, making films throughout the 1960s.
