So with news today of yet another terrorist massacre in france, I've decided today to have a look at 2016 so far...
Janauary- After 2015 ended on a damp note with the passing of Lemmy from Motorhead, the beginning of 16 began with the death of another musical icon in the form of David Bowie, if that wasn't bad enough, a week later we lost acting giant Alan Rickman. All three of these men were the same age (69, Lemmy had just turned 70) and all three of them died from cancer.
February- Author of To Kill a Mocking Bird Harper Lee died.
March- Three bombing were triggered in Brussells killing 32 people and injuring at least 250. Noteable deaths- George Martin (record producer), Keith Emerson from the band Emerson Lake and Palmer.
April- This month marked the death of another musical icon Prince.
May- The quietist month of the year so far. Noteable deaths- Nick Menza, former drummer of Megadeth.
June- The United Kingdom votes to leave the European Union. Noteable deaths- Muhammed Ali, Anton Yelchin ( actor).
Well that's the first half of the year so far, that's far from everything that's happened, but if I was to list it all I would be here all day. Heres hoping the second half of the year will be better, but I doubt it.
Stay happy!
