David Johnson has died aged 71. The England Euro squad of 1980 is dying off at quite a rate with 7 now gone and two confirmed to have dementia.

Mick Easterby (the oldest trainer who still has a licence - albeit only jointly) was at the final York meeting of the year. Did seem a tad more frail on his feet than some previous years but still looked very alert and capable for a man of his frame & age combination. Didn't snab a picture, was focusing more on the horses on that front, but don't think he's a great proposition for 2023 lists (for all he will obit, and many outside of racing circles wouldn't anticipate that). Mick Channon giving up the licence is somewhat concerning to me. Obviously there's the Sun article hightlighting his Bowel Cancer (or-post Bowel cancer - the current status is left a tad ambiguous at least when I skimmed the piece) but surely he'd have been a golden candidate to introduce a joint licence when the BHA introduced them. By all accounts, his son has been involved for a while and thus this development seems a tad more serious than is, perhaps, being let on. Oliver Sherwood sounds a lot better than last April, just watching his RTV interview after Queens Gamble won the other day. Not a complete longshot for next year but I'd say the interview is strong enough to count him out of Deathrace calculations. Backed a horse of Stella Barclay's at Wolverhampton on Saturday and noticed Alan Berry had given up training (the horse had arrived to her from his yard). Son of the famous Jack Berry so might get an obit at the very periphery of a broadsheet column of some description. Got no evidence to suggest it was illness related (quite frankly, he was a fairly lacklustre trainer - admittedly one that got embroiled in some minor controversy around 2009). In case it isn't something economically related thought I'd flag the name up in case somebody wanted to do some digging.

Big if true, could have revolutionary implications for deadpooling.

Very sad news. Incredible guitarist, made his technique look so easy. It wasn't. Never got to see him live - damn - but did once see him cycling down a hill in Southend town centre. He pulled a face at me It would be nice if The Railway pub (his local thst boasted his face on the sign, and also some friends filmed their 'comeback' video there) reopened in his honour and memory. RIP Wilko, legend.

Damn. Sad news.

Appeared on GMB this morning.

Vincent Cassel, the excellent French actor, the son of legendary French actor Jean-Pierre Cassel, who is well known for portraying violent villains in many of his films, is 56 today. Franco Nero, the admired Italian actor whose breakthrough was his famous portrayal of the lonely gunfighter, dragging a coffin behind him through a muddy and featureless landscape in the 1966 film "Django", is 81 today.

Like their music, they just go on and on, with very little happening.

Call me a fool, but I'd have a look at when Wales have a game.

Miley Cyrus is 30.

Geoff Wonfor, Grammy-winning director for the "Beatles Anthology" movie, has died at ...well, it doesn't say. https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2022-11-22/tributes-paid-to-music-legend-and-grammy-award-winner Also a bigger music figure in Newcastle and beyond.

More or less the summary of wikiedits on JDF page: 1)Why TMZ is not on this? It is surely fake! 2)TMZ confirms 3)TMZ is not a reliable source, we need major news outlets!

Danny Kalb, lead guitarist of NYC’s Blues Project, dies at 80. https://bestclassicbands.com/danny-kalb-obituary-11-19-22/

50 names of living people. Shadow deathlist. You'll have to read for more.

The 70s Number ones discussions prompted me to look up a local radio DJ from that era, who was responsible for introducing me to the more 'adult' music (Led Zep, Purple, Ozzy and the like) back when I was a freshly minted teen. A name familiar to Midlands radio audiences, Robin Valk, died earlier this year, aged 73.

Updated after Leslie Phillips' death. I was surprised to discover that Leslie wasn't even the oldest person on this list: Vincent Ball is, and he is still living.

He looks sprightly in that photo, I'd say he'd be around for a few more years

I like how they think someone with 11,000 posts on here isn't aware that the star of a much-loved, long-running series has been dead for over a decade...

Ivan Milat is dead: https://www.news.com.au/national/australias-worst-serial-killer-ivan-milat-has-died-aged-74/news-story/c0ec9be649b146fc3919ce05387b475d

This thread was created about a month before the Deadio Times thread, it just became quickly forgotten about. I think I remember seeing it when it was created and then it was lost again when other discussion threads would appear nearer the top of the list. I'm not fussed either way, but if it helps to piss SC off, I say post to both just for funsies.

Tarkovsky is my favourite director. The cinematography in his films is superb, so Yusov must have had enormous talent. A sad loss indeed.

German actress Rosemarie Fendel died on March 13, 2013 age 85. She was also famous for being the German voice for Elizabeth Taylor or Jeanne Moreau. http://westernsallitaliana.blogspot.de/2013/03/rip-rosemarie-fendel.html
