I've never been a Children of Bodom fan but there is no denying that Alexi was an exceptionally talented musician. May he rest in peace!

Wow, Roy died in May from COVID as well.
I always forget which one got attacked by the big cat, but I am thinking it was Roy.

Yes. I wasn't sure I should post it, in all honesty. The BBC have renamed the article to "Jailed music producer Phil Spector dies at 81" EDIT: And they've apologised for the original headline - BBC apologises for Phil Spector death headline.

Cause of death: Complications of West Nile Virus of all things (spread by mosquitos, for those unfamiliar). Though maybe also how gakked the LA hospital system is at the moment.

That hits a bit close to home for me. I grew up watching the show. I was a geek and a nerd like his character. And, I turn 44 this month, same age as him.
