It's a big list. Prince and Alan Rickman were biggies.

Someone could be choking on their Christmas turkey as we speak.

Gilli Smyth died in August.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilli_Smyth

Co-founder of Gong along with Daevid Allen who we sadly lost last year.

Won't mean a lot to those who didn't know their work, which is probably most!

I've never bumped into another Gong fan in my years on DS.

An example of their work:

The Isle Of Everywhere - from the 'You' album 1974 .

You got the two I was thinking of but I thought of Bob before Macca. The other two are good calls though.
