No doubt about it, 2016 was a brutal year

After the appalling cull of celebrities in 2016, when turning on the radio each morning was akin to wondering which of your favourite characters was about to be killed off in Game of Thrones, I was struck by a sobering thought.

Either Keith Richards has secretely been nuturing the Fountain of Eternal Life somewhere in his Rock Star mansion, or The Grim Reaper must be scratching his skull and wondering who the hell he picked up in 1973 by mistake for the Rolling Stones wild man…

Here’s to a better 2017 to you all!!!
