Members Vee Posted May 22, 2023 Members Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Far, far too young. He was incredible on Rome (the precursor to GOT and most of the modern wave of high-budget prestige TV/streaming) with Kevin McKidd, the immortal Polly Walker, Tobias Menzies, etc. and the show got canned, IIRC, for being too expensive. Its budget probably wouldn't put a dent in a single year of Thrones or LOTR today. Ray Stevenson could do anything in any old piece of material and often did in the last decade, but he was never less than 150% committed. What a guy. First Amis, now this.

Members I Am A Swede Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 Wow, I'm stunned. Tina was such a larger than life character that it almost feels impossible that she's gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) I knew she had been ill for some time, but this hits hard. Tina’s influence on every major pop/rock female artist can’t be underestimated. She set the bar high for live performances as well. Not to mention, she had what is often considered the best “comeback” in rock & roll history. She overcame so much in her personal life. Simply calling her a “survivor” wouldn’t do her justice. What a life. What a career. What a woman. The world is a little less special with her no longer in it. Rest in peace, Tina! You deserve it and you’ve earned it!

Members Khan Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 I played this video so often on the jukebox in the arcade at Circus Circus that I was banned from there for the rest of that summer. So, what did I do? I went across the street, to the Riviera, and I started playing the video on the jukebox in THEIR arcade. RIP Tina. You were one hell of a woman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 Rest in peace to the Queen of Rock, Tina Turner (the artist formerly known as Anna Mae Bullock). She had dealt with a number of health problems in recent years but a dreaded day nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
