Totally a gut punch. Maggie Smith has been my favorite for many, many years. She is completely irreplaceable. RIP legend.

Yes, to all this.

If anyone hasn't yet seen Maggie Smith's 'Lady in the Van' please do so asap. Thought it was her best.

Another gut punch. I know he had his flaws and demons, but he seemed like a good and principled man nonetheless. And, of course, he was a marvelously talented musician.

Brotherhood of Man singer Martin Lee has gone. He was 77.

Brotherhood of Man were best known for winning the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest with Save Your Kisses for Me.

The song reached number one in more than 30 countries and became one of the best-selling Eurovision singles in the contest's history.

That was one of the songs from my childhood. Even now I still sing along when I hear it.

Godspeed, sir.
