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!

He was very invested in her business. Couple of fraudsters. At least she can use her “gift” to talk to him on the other side.

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

Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni for Stand And Deliver and Prince Charming. Amazing what you read on the loo.

Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn?

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/

Not sure Phil Collins should be on that list His biggest hits were cover versions and Genesis have never has a Number 1

Ray Anthony had "Peter Gunn", which peaked at #8 a few months into the Hot 100's existence.

https://actucameroun.com/2021/09/27/necrologie-ibrahim-mbombo-njoya-roi-des-bamouns-est-mort/ Ibrahim Mbombo Njoya, King of the Bamum people of Cameroon dead aged 83 from covid in France.

I think Terry Paine might give Hurst a run for his money. Only 82 so not much older than Hurst, lives probably a fairly nice lifestyle in Cape Town and has already given a long tribute to Greaves in the media so it appears he is ok mentally. He also looks relatively good for his age based on the recentish photos I have seen. No offence to Terry but I hope the last survivor from the squad is Hurst as it would be a lot more fitting but the Reaper doesn't do sentiment as we all know.
