The deaths of Whitney and Bobbi Kristina in similar circumstances are so tragic. It seems like fate dealt them a particularly cruel hand. Whitney Houston was greatly talented and her earlier performances were breathtaking. Her daughter was only setting out on her career. Sadly, celebrity and diva status seem to attract all the negatives as well as success.

Lynn Anderson has died at the age of 67 years.

She will probably be best remembered for her version of a song titled "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" which was one of the biggest Country hits of the 1970's

Back when "Rose Garden" was in the charts whenever someone in the office said "I beg your parden" someone would chime in "I never promised you a rose garden". 

Nice country song.

Sad news indeed. I'm a Liverpool man, and we take a holiday most years in Estepona, where Cilla passed away, seemingly on her balcony. She made many happy over a very long career. RIP.
