Just saw on Facebook that Roger Browne died.
Better known for his appearances in Eurospy and Peplum flicks he did a lot of dubbing in Italy and provided voices on countless Spaghetti Westerns. I know some people who met him and they say he was a nice guy.

Almost got him confused with the Roger Brown who played poor Lazarus in the original Star Trek, but this Roger had a more rugged looking appearance from his IMDb photo. Iām sure he had a whole lot of fun during his cool sojourn in Italian cinema and also sure he equally enjoyed sharing stories of his adventures with others. RIP.
Paul DiāAnno, the lead singer with Iron Maiden across their first two albums Iron Maiden in 1980 and Killers in 1981 has died. He had many health issues but was a prolific live performer despite having to do so for many years in a wheelchair. He was 66.
RIP

Sad to hear the news. I saw this version of Iron Maiden live at Colston Hall in 1980. Paul DiāAnno added a punk credibility to the bandās NWOBHM sound. Half the tracks on the debut album are still in the bandās set list today, including their signature track: āRunning Freeā, which was co-written by DiāAnno. Although, according to Mick Wall he had long since sold off his royalties. R.I.P.

RIP to him. Heavy Metal was one music genre I couldnāt fully get into, but Iāve heard a lot of praise for Iron Maiden and their style over the years. For a while there was a female tribute band to them, but I donāt know if theyāre still active.

Same here. I must admit that I have never been into āIron Maidenā.
However, there has been so much love and respect expressed in this thread for this gentleman, that I canāt help but say R.I.P. Paul DiāAnno.
I think that you will be very much missed by your fans.
Rock on.

My uncle texted me about Hackmanās passing, had no idea his wife and their pet dog died too, thatās double tragic. With foul play having been ruled out, my guess would be there was a gas leak and carbon monoxide built up and hence what happened. RIP to Mr. Hackman, his wife, and their dog.
