Those we loved when it was too late including Freddie Mercury (Queen), Robin Williams and Amy Winehouse

When I did my last post (just an hour or two ago) it made me think about people we lose - famous people. I have a terrible habit of just getting into people (their style or performances) immediately after the inconsiderate people 'pop-off'. Some indeed cast their own demise like poor Robin Williams and Amy Winehouse.

So here's a bit of a tribute to these three at least ...

Firstly, FREDDIE MERCURY of QUEEN:

This One Show semi-documentary tells us a bit more about Freddie's background etc.:



Then there's the sad loss of Amy Winehouse. Here she is singing one of my (now) favourite songs of hers "Love is a Losing Game" (not a true statement necessarily but boy is it painful when it becomes a true statement as I know only too well). When she was alive, I hardly knew of her - certainly nothing she ever did attracted my attention - so what the hell was I doing? She's amazing and now she'll never be around to do more. Such a waste! Why didn't anyone see it coming and stop her - console her - poor woman.



I had always loved Robin Williams - in films, on TV but most of all when he was being interviewed, with that razor-sharp wit of his. - Again what a sad waste of life.

See what you think of this (in two parts but I am only showing the first):

  1. All three legends - all three needed consoling and love. Miss them all - and Parky's interviews.
