What a badass

I don't know, Dickie Os have a precedent for their threads lasting a long long time...

With the death of Harry Dean Stanton, Zsa Zsa is now the only one with all fifty of his selection alive.

Olivia de H forever

Violet Brown, the oldest living person, has died aged 117. This means Nabi Tajima becomes the worlds oldest living person, and the last person alive to be born in the 19th century. Edit: Daily Mirror, Daily Star, Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Sun obituaries.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife, Beth Chapman, has stage 2 throat cancer. SC

No one seems to care about this. Now if it were in Europe, maybe..........

Any updates about this dirt-bag? He seems to have dropped off the planet.

Chill...you just doubled the DL search party. Anyone spotted him yet. Just cut the lawn; no sign of him cowering in my shed

I'm really sad, but not that surprised to read about the death of Grant Hart. In my view his musical and songwriting talents were incredibly underrated and I hope history will be kind to him, as he never achieved the recognition he deserved in life. There aren't that many drummers who sing lead vocals, and Grant Hart was right up there with the best of them. Years ago, when I was a teenager getting into grunge, lots of these bands cited Husker Du as a huge influence on them, so bought their live album on cassette and was blown away. Eventually I ended up owning all of Husker Du's albums and, to this day, some of them still get played regularly. As Vinegar Tits points out above, Hart's next project, Nova Mob, were pretty damned good as well, but he never saw much in the way of chart action. Nova Mob's concept album The Last Days of Pompeii really deserved far more airplay than it actually got, but Hart seemed destined to forever remain in obscurity. His solo career never took off and he spent years playing in bars for very little money. There were rumours going around a few years ago that he had HIV, which given the fact he was a promiscuous gay man with a raging heroin habit in the late 80s and early 90s, may have had some substance to them. Grant Hart never made much money; he lived in his late parents' home until he accidentally set fire to it a few years ago. But he kept of writing and performing right up to the end, in the face of complete indifference to anyone but his minuscule fan base. If ever there was a case of life not being fair, Grant Hart probably fits the bill as a prime example. Oh, and the name of the album that got me hooked? The Living End.

If anyone had seen this photo from a tribute concert a few months back, he would have been a lock for any longlist:

Awwww noooo Another for the List of the Lost radio show, then

Husker Du's drummer died at 56. http://variety.com/2017/music/news/husker-du-grant-hart-dead-1202558122/

If he dies in Barnsley it may be some time before the rest of the World gets to hear about it.

Four men called Frank have managed in the Premier league, three of them have failed to win a single game.

And in other news, Yes (or what passes for the legendary band these days) are doing a 50th anniversary tour next year. Ironically, I'm likely to miss their big London date because I'm otherwise engaged at a dead pooling convention

First the drummer, now the bassist, half of Can in the can in 2017. That video posted above set videography back 35 years. SC

Yes. Two people from the 19th century still alive.

Still think series 2 of Feud should be about Rodney Bewes and James Bolam

That really would lead to a quick Deathlist double hit.

I thought you were going for an Olivia-Kirk-hate fuck scenario.

I'm going to make a bold prediction of how the events will unfold: Olivia sues FX ---> Catherine Zeta-Jones (who portrayed Olivia) gets mad at Olivia ---> Kirk Douglas meddles in the conflict by writing an editorial in Huffington Post defending CZJ and bashing Olivia ---> Olivia & Kirk initiate a vicious verbal feud ---> Both croak of exhaustion towards the end of the year, which contributes to the DL 2017 breaking the DL record ---> FX produces a series of episodes called Feud: Olivia and Kirk that depict the centenarians' fight.

Yeah, MacGyver was a great show.
