The Terminally Ill “Star Wars” gets wish to see “Rogue One” then passes away two days later
Posted on by Bob Uehlein in Top Trending|Videos

Just last week we heard about Neil Hanvey, a terminally ill “Star Wars” fan who was hoping to see “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” early because he was only expected to live for a couple more months.Well, sadly Neil passed away on Monday. He was just 36. The good news???? He DID see “Rogue One” on Saturday, two days before he passed. Apparently, his ‘#RogueOneWish’ campaign picked up enough steam last week to catch the eye of director Gareth Edwards, and he helped make it happen ASAP. Neil’s wife and caregivers posted a thank you on Facebook, saying, “Gareth Edwards did all he could to make Saturday a very special day for Neil. [We’d] like to say thank you to Disney, Lucasfilm and especially Gareth.” https://www.facebook.com/stmichaelshospicehereford/photos/a.139986962744616.36015.129935957083050/1152817294794906/?type=3

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
