Cilla Black has died

Two posts on this now.

Never one of my favourites but another one from my era. Sad for her family

There is nothing on the BBC News website to confirm this

There is plenty of confirmation on the internet, though.

She was one of those I thought would somehow go on forever...

It's true as I've just googled it. Says natural causes.

So surprised here, as she looked so well and well preserved...

Always wondered why she suddenly came back and so active on the scene after disappearing for many years. Was it a heart attack?

I wasn't a fan but very sad for her family and fans of course.

RIP Cilla x

she was part of my youth. I'm sorry for her family.

Gosh! What a shock for her family - poor things.

She once said she didn't want to live beyond 70. I didn't think much of that remark at the time but it was strangely prophetic.

RIP Cilla.

I'm shocked too - she was part of my youth. I saw her a couple of times on 'Mersey Beat Tours' in the 60s. I also took my Nan to see her in Blackpool. Really sad day for her family.

To coin a phrase 'she was no age', was she?

I heard it on the Classic FM news about an hour ago. Again I wasn't a fan. Its good to hear it was natural causes and at home so hopefully she wasn't in distress. I heard Lionel Blair on the radio who was terribly upset.

That chap who does dog programmes was a close friend I think. He will be sad.

Paul O'Grady and Christopher Biggins were close friends. So was Cliff Richard, I think.

I was genuinely shocked and quite saddened when my daughter ran upstairs to tell me this news. I always liked Cilla - perhaps not all her shows, but I liked her. Another part of my teenage years gone .

She once said she didnt want to live beyond 70

Stuart Baggs from the Apprentice apparently said last year on Come Dine with me "I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time, and I want to live hard, die young". He died aged 27 this week.

Thought provoking.

I liked what I saw of Cilla Black too.

She seemed as normal as you can be in the entertainment business. I believe she had a happy family life.Apparently she suffered with deafness and arthritis recently

It's sad. She was younger than me. A great entertainer and an attractive personality.

Oh how sad! She she really was an icon of our generation. I liked her.

Such a shame she was never made a dame. RIP Cilla reunited with your one true love Bobby xxx

What a shock that news is,I feel for her family she adored them.
RIP Cilla.

I really liked her as a singer. She had a good voice and some memorable songs. Never knew the TV presenter side of her as, living abroad, we did not get the relevant shows.

It is sad that she has gone, but we all have to go one day and far better for a quick end than a long-drawn out illness, or sitting in a home waiting for the grim reaper. That's just my opinion, of course. RIP Cilla
