I'm gutted about Mark Speight me! :(

I didn't think there would be a post about him in here as its mainly American folk or high profile folk.

I used to watch SMart all the time when I was younger, it shows how long he has been around. I'm 23 this year and I used to watch SMart when I was 11/12/13 with Kirsten O'Brien aswell :wtf:

I took note of this story when his fiancee Natasha died in January. How heartbroken he must have been, especially when he was arrested. He obviously couldn't live without her anymore. As soon as it was mentioned on Sky News that he went missing a week last Monday you knew it wouldn't have a happy ending, but I was still taken aback when the news broke about his death.
 
Sorry to say, I have two passings to report today.

Country superstar Eddy Arnold dies at 89
May 8, 9:58 AM (ET)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A biographer for country music superstar Eddy Arnold says the singer has died at the age of 89.

Belmont University Professor Don Cusic says Arnold died at a care facility near Nashville Thursday morning. Arnold was just days short of his 90th birthday.

Arnold's mellow baritone on songs like "Make the World Go Away" - a crossover hit on the pop charts in 1965 - made him one of the most successful country singers in history.

He became a pioneer of "The Nashville Sound," also called "countrypolitan," a mixture of country and pop styles.

He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1966. The following year he was the first person to receive the entertainer of the year award from the Country Music Association.
