2016 isn’t starting out too great with the recent deaths of multiple icons. Both the music and acting industry have suffered great losses with the deaths of Lemmy and David Bowie. With great sadness upon the earth, Alan Rickman passed away at the age of 69. With a hugely successful career, Alan covered everything from theatre, to die hard, to musicals, and of course his most memorable role to date – Professor Snape. His work is relatable to every generation so this is a truly devastating loss to the industry and of course his family and friends.
