Miss Me Baby One More Time (Darius Dead)

[privatefriend]

Darius Danesh has died age 41

Did you know that Darius was in a coma because he drank sewage from the thames? (what a sicko!*). Could it be that the poo prions did him in?

^{*not really it was for charity}

Sometimes I suspect these threads are only started for the puns.

How dare you!

Most shocking reality show death since Baggs the Brand.

The last time I saw Darius Danesh on TV was when he got squirted by a water-gun-hidden-in-a-mic on the fucking awful prank show Balls of Steel. He took it in good humour, possibly the only celebrity victim to react that way, and by doing so made the pranker look like even more a cunt. So respect for that and RIP.

Didn't they do Tom Cruise? Or was that Dennis penis?

[Butchers Blind]

Wasn't he about 8 foot tall or something?

[DelurkedToHelp]

I hope he follows his own advice.

thought this was a reboot of the shooter where the enemies are big robot fish

Wasn't he about 8 foot tall or something?

wonder if they used three screen extra wide heart monitors like in the arcades

[Mr_Simnock]

Yes that was a great game, well there was lots of Darius games but the MD one was my fave

[curiousoranges]

I just read that he married the star of 90s sci-fi shlock Species. Fuck my hat.

[JaDanketies]

awww gutted. Fiancee will be doubly-gutted. She had the album and fancied him back in the day (I mean I can see the resemblance with me)

[Small Man Big Horse]

Weirdly I only looked him up on google just last week to see if he was still performing, I've no idea why but his name just came in to my mind. Seems to have an okay career up to 2018 (where he was the main male co-star in Sheridan Smith's Funny Girl), but nothing after that, though I guess the pandemic may be a big reason why.

Jesus that's no age. The poor sod!

[Jumblegraws]

Yeah, that was them. The pranker (who for whatever reason wasn't the same as the one that got Darius) ended up spending a night in jail because of it.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

The cause of death is not known, but his family said he was found in his US apartment.

Yanks are used from birth to such harsh conditions.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

No age indeed. I've no interest in those telly talent shows, or his career specifically (it's so long since he even crossed my mind, I assumed this thread was about the person that wrote "Baby One More Time") but I do remember respecting him for finding success in the face of all the mockery.

[Butchers Blind]

People say it's no age but it is, it's 41 in this case. That's the age. 41.

[shiftwork2]

I've no idea who this man was but I've outlived him.  I won the lives.

[Blue Jam]

Did you know that Darius was in a coma because he drank sewage from the thames?

I actually did, but only because it was mentioned on The Snooker Potcast, of all things.

Rest in peace Darius, along with the glory days of Pop Idol.

There's a lot of love death in the room.

I just looked up what was number one in the UK twenty years ago today. Funny old world.

Fair play to the guy, he may have been a cheeseball but he told the Pop Idol judges he was going to have a no. 1 single and then he only went and bloody did it. That's Oasis-level swagger.
