  This should be in the "Bond Family" obituary thread, but I didn't manage to find it by way of the search function.
  
  Scott Walker, he of the eponymous Brothers who most prominently sang The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore), died on 22 March in London. He also sang Only Myself to Blame for the TWINE soundtrack (end credits), but while it is on the CD album, it was discarded from the movie itself.

  Rest In Peace Mr. Walker. What a waste that ‘Only Myself To Blame’ wasn’t used during the end credits of TWINE. Instead they chose to use that horrifying techno mess. They should use ‘Only Myself To Blame’ for the ending of another Bond film.

  I know he already passed away 6 years ago, but after watching the cast of the Sopranos reuniting for a 20th anniversary special, I got tears in my eyes.
  
  James Gandolfini was brilliant, and seemed such a sweet guy. :'(

  Yes, someone has already mentioned Scott Walker in the thread you mention. Its in the Bond Movies section.

  I have to say I hadn't heard of him till today. But I agree @Gerard it is similar to Tommy Cooper.
  Could there be a more fitting end for a comedian than having your audience thinking your death is part of the show, and laughing. Sounds cruel, but to go out with a laugh.

  Vonda N McIntyre did die on the 1st of April, not really a funny joke. She was a wellknown scifi femal writer perhaps best know for her Star Trek novelisations of Star Trek movie 2-3-4 and some literary installments in the original TOS series.
