Just announced earlier today by his son Wolfgang.

Official cause of death has not been announced, but he was being treated for throat cancer.

RIP. They were a great band, especially in the early years.

Just spent the past hour listening to tributes and his music. RIP to one of the greatest guitarists.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

RIP.  Sad to hear.

He did some really cool stuff.  RIP Mr. Van Halen.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

T.O.M.

With his manual dexterity, I bet he would have been a hell of a shooter...

R.I.P.  Eddie.  Heaven's band got another awesome lead guitar.
