Andrew Symonds: Former Australia cricketer dies aged 46 in car crash

Former Australia cricketer Andrew Symonds has died aged 46 after being involved in a car crash.

The all-rounder played 26 Tests, 198 one-day internationals and 14 Twenty20s for Australia between 1998 and 2009.

A powerful batter, canny bowler and fine fielder, Symonds was part of two 50-over World Cup wins and Australia's Ashes victory over England in 2006-07.

Born in Birmingham, Symonds played county cricket in the UK for Kent, Gloucestershire, Lancashire and Surrey.

He held the joint-record for most sixes hit in a County Championship innings - he hit 16 in a knock for Gloucestershire against Glamorgan in 1995 - until Ben Stokes bettered his total last week.

His death is another significant loss for Australian cricket, following the deaths of former wicketkeeper Rod Marsh and legendary spinner Shane Warne earlier this year.

Vangelis has swapped his chariot of fire for Charon's boat across the Styx. Dead at 79.

 

The theme from 1492: Conquest of Paradise is another great tune. As is 'Pulstar'.

Depeche Mode keyboardist Andy Fletcher dies

Depeche Mode keyboardist Andy Fletcher has died, the band has announced.

 

The band said they were "shocked and filled with overwhelming sadness with the untimely passing of our dear friend, family member, and bandmate".
 

The statement went on to say that the keyboard player had a "heart of gold" and their "hearts are with his family".
 

Fletcher, who was 60, was a founding member of the band which found success with their dark electronic sound with hits including Personal Jesus.
 

Depeche Mode had chart success in the 1980s and 1990s with singles including New Life, Enjoy the Silence and Just Can't Get Enough.
 

The group was founded in Basildon in 1980 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two years ago.
 

In a statement posted on social media, the band said: "Fletch had a true heart of gold and was always there when you needed support, a lively conversation, a good laugh or a cold pint."


Gotta be honest and say I thought Dave Gahan would be the first to go.
