DJ and radio host Mike Smith has passed away from complications following heart surgery. 

Only 59, so very young.

Remembering the young, blond DJ. Rest in peace, Mike.

Sad news hearing of the death of actor/comedian Robin WIlliams. 

They say suicide, which makes it even more tragic.

I'm still remembering Mork & Mindy, and of course he shined in Mrs. Doubtfire.

Sad, sad news.

Andrea de Cesaris aged 55 in a motorcycle accident in Rome. An ex- Formula 1 driver, he drove for 14 years between 1980-1994 and I believe he holds the record for the most race starts (208) without a win. He had driven for 10 F1 teams in his career.
