Vangelis, the Greek electronic musician who won the Oscar for his memorable “Chariots of Fire” score and whose other credits included “Blade Runner” and “Blade Runner 2049,” died Tuesday, according to reports in the Athens News Agency and the Guardian. He was 79.

He was Grammy-nominated three times in the new age album category and for record of the year for “Chariots of Fire.”

Born Evangelos Odessey Papathanassiou in Greece, he was enrolled by his parents into the Athens Music School at the age of 6 where he was soon performing concerts. He was a member of the progressive rock band Aphrodite’s Child and enjoyed a long career in European pop music before the colors and textures of his 1970s solo albums brought him to the attention of film and TV producers. The use of a track from his “Heaven and Hell” as the theme for Carl Sagan’s PBS series “Cosmos” brought his name and music into prominence in America.

Alan White, Yes Drummer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Dead at 72​

ETONLINE

Alan White, the prolific, acclaimed drummer from the progressive rock band Yes, has died. He was 72.

White's family confirmed the news of his passing in a statement posted to Facebook, sharing that the famed rocker died on Thursday after "a brief illness."

"Throughout his life and six-decade career, Alan was many things to many people: a certified rock star to fans around the world; band mate to a select few, and gentleman and friend to all who met him," the statement shared.

White was born in Pelton, County Durham, England on June 14, 1949. He began playing the drums when he was only 12 and was performing in public at gigs around a year later.

After performing with a string of different bands in the 1960s -- including The Downbeats, The Gamblers, Billy Fury, Alan Price Big Band, Bell and Arc and Ginger Baker’s Airforce -- White received a call from John Lennon in 1969 and was asked to join the Plastic Ono Band.

After working with Lennon on a number of major recordings -- and performing with George Harrison -- White joined Yes in 1972, replacing their founding drummer only three days before the band embarked on their North American tour.

White remained with Yes ever since -- up to the band's most recent album, The Quest, released in October 2021. In 2017, White was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the band.

White is survived by his wife of 40 years, Rogena, as well as his son Jesse and daughter Cassi.

That sucks to hear of his passing.

RIP

Known to horror fans for his role as Lloyd the bartender in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, we’ve learned the sad news this weekend that veteran actor Joe Turkel has passed away.

Turkel was 94 years old, passing away at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California.

In addition to his iconic role in The Shining, Joe Turkel also appeared in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner just two years later, playing the creator of the Replicants, Dr. Eldon Tyrell.

With 142 credits on a resume that dates back to 1949, Joe Turkel also appeared in the films City Across the River, The Glass Wall, Mad at the World, The Beast of Budapest, Tormented, Portrait of a Mobster, The Yellow Canary, King Rat, The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, The Devil’s 8, The Hindenburg, and most recently, 1990’s The Dark Side of the Moon.

On the small screen, Joe Turkel returned to the horror genre in the 1985 episode of “Tales from the Darkside” titled “Levitation,” playing a once-great circus magician named Kharma.

According to Entertainment Weekly, “Turkel completed his memoir, The Misery of Success, just before his death, and his family plans to publish it later this year.”

Joe Turkel is survived by his sons Craig and Robert.

Really sad news, grew up with Yu-Gi-Oh

‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ Creator Takahashi Kazuki Dies at 60

Takahashi Kazuki, creator of the ‘Yu Gi Oh!’ comic series that spawned a blockbuster trading card game, was found dead at sea.

Takahashi Kazuki, a Japanese manga artist credited with creating the “Yu-Gi-Oh” comic book series, was found dead on Wednesday. He was 60.

Public broadcaster NHK reported that Takahashi’s body was found in the sea, about 300 meters off the coast of Nago in Okinawa Province. It reported that he was wearing snorkeling equipment at the time.

The body was identified as Takahashi’s on Thursday after the Japan Coast Guard connected it to a white rental car that had been abandoned some 12 kilometers away. The Coast Guard said that Takahashi had traveled to Okinawa alone. His body bore no noticeable sign of injury and an investigation into the cause of his death has now begun.

Takahashi’s agency Studio Dice turned the artist’s web page black.

Takahashi, whose real name is Takahashi Kazuo, and is also known as Kazumasa, started as a manga artist in the early 1980s, but did not achieve great success until he created the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” a comic series for boys in 1996. The series focuses on a boy who solves an ancient puzzle and awakens in himself a gaming alter-ego.

The manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and spawned a hit anime series and an animated film.

Even more significantly, it led to the creation of a trading card game in which players battle against each other. Intended as a one-off, the game was first published by Bandai and later by Konami and became a worldwide phenomenon with national and international competitions. It was certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the trading card game with the world’s highest sales.

Takahashi continued to supervise the manga, and wrote and drew other works including Comiq, a series to commemorate Weekly Shonen Jump’s 50th anniversary in 2018. In 2015, Takahashi received Comic-Con International’s Inkpot Award, recognizing an individual who has made outstanding contributions to comics, science fiction and fantasy, film, television, animation, and fandom.

In April, FilmRise, the New York-based film and television studio and streaming network, acquired the North American rights to a large swath of Japanese anime titles, headlined by more than 800 episodes of “Yu-Gi-Oh!”

Truly sad to me Yugioh was apart of my Childhood Shows I cherish like Pokemon, DBZ, TMNT, and Power Rangers and we lost a King today. Kazuki contributions lead to the Gard Game being created and lord knows plenty of us played whether it was the Video Games or Card Game itself over the Years. I've read conflicted reports though Variety said they didn't see any signs of injury but I checked another Site before that Article and they said they were damages to his body looking like he might of been attacked by a Marine Animal so someone is wrong here. He might of had a heart attack and maybe in the Ocean he bumped into some Animals along the way.

James Caan honestly I only remember him from greatness he put on Film with The Godfather and Misery and I know for sure some of you guys could enlighten me on his acting roles he knocked outta the park outside of those Films.
