Joost van der Westhuizen, SA Rugby World Cup winner, dies age 45.

And musician David Axelrod aged 83. I think they were both on 2016 lists, but I am not sure for 2017.

Indeed , Crabby and Hudson No1 picked Westhuizen and Napster picked Axelrod. Unfortunately, it was for 2016, not 2017.

Blimey! No surprise, however, that she hasn't lasted to old bones.

Really sad that TP-T has died so young, she was a very funny person without really meaning to be.

She was a drug addled waste of space who had more chances than she deserved. No great loss to the human race.

Hard but fair - like Leeds United in the 70s.

Paxton was great starring in small budget films like Trespass, One False Move, Near Dark and a Simple Plan as well providing excellent support in bigger pictures such as Predator 2, Aliens, Tombstone and Apollo 13.

Gerald Kauffman, long time Labour MP has crossed over as well.

Very sad but at 86 not a bad run I suppose.
