    Just watching David Attenborough on Graham Norton and just realised what a loss the man will be when he's gone. A true living legend.
    Just wondering what other well know figures people would consider irreplaceable.
    The others that came to mind were Stephen Hawking and Michael O Muirchearaigh

    Was going to say Kris Kristofferson too.

    Pure ace in every sense! Some of the most amazing, but yet simple and honest, lyrics ever penned.

    Garth Brooks didn't get a mention yet.

    He's a true legend.

    Seeing a lot of decent singers and decent actors so far, not many legends. By this rate of qualifying, Ronnie Reagan was a demigod when he was alive.

    Am I the only person that absolutely likes the guy in theory but ends up violently turning the radio dial or TV channel after a few minutes of his smug pomposity?
