sidcow Posted May 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Wow, that has hit me for 6. I've seen on these very pages various musicians of elder generations pass away but this is the first time one of mine has passed. I loved Depeche Mode and carried on buying their music essentially out of loyalty when I really couldn't enjoy the places they were taking it. As @bickster says it's an absolute miracle Dave Gahan is still alive. I wonder what's happened? 60 is no age. See You Andy.

I do know that after the devotional tour he started to get seizures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted May 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2022 Really hit me this one. 60 is nothing. I kind of felt that if they'd survived the Devotional tour, they'd live forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His role in Cop Land is one that springs to mind. Plus, even something lightweight like Heartbreakers, he’s really good fun in that. Even just little things like a cameo on Modern Family were brilliant. He was great at comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Goodfellas is going to be in a lot of peoples top 10 films of all time but Liotta made some other really good films such as Narc, Field of Dreams, Copland, No Escape and Hanibal. I also remember seeing him in a TV film called The Rat Pack where he did a great job of playing Frank Sinatra. RIP Ray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must hold some sort of record for the longest sporting career ever - he was THE famous jockey when I was a toddler in the 1950s, and still racing in the 1990s.
