Victoria Wood struck me as an exceptionally talented comedienne and a lovely person too, as well as having a larger than life presence about her.
Prince's songs provided part of the soundtrack of my childhood(His later ones at least, when he was in his Symbol era, plus the re-release of 1999 to coincide with the actual year) and he had the air of an untouchable living legend too. I'm reminded of how I felt when Michael Jackson died.
RIP.
I've always attempted to rationalise and be mindful of the fact that there are a lot of celebrities(Much more in recent years with the influx of manufactured "reality" celebs and suchlike although they arguably aren't comparable to previous generations of celebrities and shouldn't count), they're all bound to pass away at some point, and so we must be bound to lose a legend from time to time...
But * hell, 2016 is stunning me. This is nasty. :-/
