    Turner's header against Aust is one of NZ's most iconic sporting moments. RIP.

    RIP Tom.

    Nice gritty parts in three of my all time favourite movies ever….True Romance, Heat and Saving Private Ryan.

    Outstanding flicks and he played his part in all of them being as brilliant as they are.

    Not so sure his wife or Heidi would share that sentiment.

    RIP.

    Gary Rossington, last founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, dies aged 71

    Gary Rossington had been grappling with health problems for decades.

    While “Freebird” and “Sweet Home Alabama” have been thrashed to the point of not being enjoyable anymore this is still a banger.

    @MN5 Rossington's riff made that cover the definitive version of a southern rock classic. So different from the original.

    Clapton of all people did a good cover as well

    JJ Cale must have made a fortune off Eric

    But yeah, I love Skynyrds version so much.

    The Cloggies was brilliant. Some great sideshow characters. The Blagdon Amateur Rapist might not pass muster these days though.

    RIP Bobby Caldwell, you were so smooth and soulful that your record label wouldn't let you pose on your record covers, because everyone though you were black.

    Lance Reddick, only 60 years old.

    Watching John Wick 4 will be sombre. Loved him in The Wire and Bosch.
