Yes, we have to do something. This is pure terrorism. All these lists are useful for us and can't be lost.

US TV actress Jean Hale, dead at 82, already since 3rd of August. https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1497684/Jean-Hale-dead-death-Batman-In-Like-Flint-actress-cause-health-age-latest-news-update Apparently a bit-actress in the 60s whenever you needed a blonde bombshell in a TV series, the obit features her Batman appearances strongly. But there were only two.

Mentioned a few times on the forum before due to health issues, but Trump-loving anti-vax political cartoonist Ben Garrison has "severe COVID" which he is attempting to treat with beet juice.

Just been announced Roger Hunt has died. RIP. I wonder how many Germans could be alive when the last of the English squad dies. Could well be 5 or more.

Ryan Sakoda reportedly dead: https://wrestletalk.com/news/former-wwe-star-sakoda-passes-away-aged-46/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1579417/ Apparently as long ago as 2 September!

I didn't remember her Batman role (Polly in a Mad Hatter 2 parter) and it so important it doesn't even get a mention on the Batman Wiki's list of characters for the story!

Huh, my favourite Pet Shop Boys track was kept off the top spot by Rick Astley! What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

Actually not, the 2nd no.1 hit in 1987 was the Elvis Presley cover. West End Girls and Heart were 1985 and 1988.

Oldest french actor Hubert de Lapparent has disappared at age 102 on the 14th of September. Was on my shadow list + ao Deadpool list which means 6 points. RIP

RIP Roger Hunt.

BBC obit Roger Hunt: Former Liverpool and England striker dies aged 83 - BBC Sport

Could be a thread by itself.... ... Gary Barlow (Take That) Noel Gallagher (Oasis, but apparently not until 2005!) Cathy Dennis (Kylie Minogue & S Club 7 - 2001) Edit: Just had a look at the pure numbers... you know, since about 2010, apparently every song has had at least 10 songwriters, which is why people like David Guetta might technically count - but, in my opinion, shouldn't really. Eminem in 2002 should count though.

Think so. At a very quick glance, here's the surviving US Hot 100 hitmakers born in the 20s I can find, not counting session musicians (ie Bill Pitman) or behind-the-scenes figures (ie Bacharach, Gordy): Ray Anthony - 1922 Tony Bennett - 1926 Ed Ames - 1927 C.W. McCall - 1928 April Stevens - 1929 Leroy Van Dyke - 1929 McCall and Stevens are the only Hot 100 chart toppers of the above lot (though Bennett and Ames did have #1s earlier in the 50s).

Stuck him on as an afterthought, you may be right!

https://vietnamnet.vn/vn/giai-tri/nhac/ca-si-phi-nhung-qua-doi-vi-covid-19-sau-1-thang-dieu-tri-777359.html Phi Nhung, Vietnamese-American singer dead from covid. She was 49.

Ian Riddell, who played at full-back for Berwick Rangers in their famed 1967 victory over [Glasgow] Rangers has been reported dead. A precise age is unknown, but the report from the Berwick Rangers website notes he was in his early eighties. https://berwickrangers.com/ian-riddell/

One that might pass you by is Tony Macauley who wrote both of David Soul's No.1 singles in 1977

I'm looking forward to seeing Jonathan Pie in a couple of weeks. Nothing musical lined up in the near future though.

Like others I thought Roger Hunt was in good health, but clearly not, as he's dead.

Off the top of my head: 1970s/80s Lennon McCartney Gary Glitter (with the late Mike Leander) Noddy Holder and Jim Lea Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus Bee Gees (must have done, surely given who else they wrote for) Chris Stein (Blondie) Sting Paul Weller Andy Hill for Bucks Fizz Holly Johnson and other members of Frankie Goes To Hollywood The late George Michael Madonna Stock Aitken and Waterman Phil Collins Haven't even looked at the 1960s - there will be plenty there I'd imagine.

https://www.terra.com.mx/entretenimiento/2021/9/27/luis-de-alba-se-reencuentra-con-vicente-fernandez-en-hospital-de-guadalajara-video-19853.html Luis de Alba (Luis Alba Garcia), Mexican comedian now in the same hospital where Vicente Fernandez has been for two months. 76-year old Luis de Alba is a friend of Vicente "Chente" Fernandez and has not been allowed to visit Fernandez. Here the two are in 2018:

The list of people who wrote two number #1 singles in a year must be pretty small (under 100?) and she was one of them (2003, the aforementioned "Breathe" and "Loneliness" by Tomcraft).

Sue Thompson confirmed dead at 96. I believe she was the oldest living artist to have had a hit in the U.S. Hot 100.

Vic Reeves has an inoperable but benign brain tumour that leaves him unable to appreciate Jimi Hendrix's 'If Six Was Nine' amongst other stereophonic treats. And it probably makes him Dizzy, his head is spinning etc.

This Wednesday I will be working for Wreckless Eric and next Thursday I shall be working for Josie Cotton. Both are playing The Hook and Ladder in Minneapolis.
