Session guitarist Paul Martinez played at Live Aid, I think with Phil Collins. I think there's someone with a Live Aid list somewhere but not sure he's on it. Magic Fly is an absolute tune. Shame on the Frenchies on here for not spotting Hammer's death.

Nicola Bryant still looks amazing for someone well into their 60s.

I think now that 50 is correct. I was wrong in that Johnny Ruffo is not 4 pts but 3. However, Ruschell Boone is a duo, so it's R - 4 pts. I made my summary on page 4 in this thread.

He’s only sorry that he got caught.

I think I know what the text was that got Jenas into trouble: Jump to around 01:25 in the video for the gist (couldn't embed the video because the title has emojis in it)

Cancer apparently, at least that's what her Wiki page says.

Jim Simons dead at 86. He was an accomplished mathematician who quit his job at MIT to become the richest hedge fund manager in the world.

I wouldn't know, the point being is that this is a death forum and not a place where mums complain about their badly raised children or sensitive nipples or whatever - although I'm sure many members here are happy to discuss their nipple sensitivity

Natural-looking French actress and director Tonie Marshall has died at age 68. https://www.tellerreport.com/life/2020-03-12---france--actress-and-director-tonie-marshall-is-dead-.HJgK-uRvSU.html Marshall is the only woman who has ever won the César French film award in the Best Director category.

She was also the daughter of French actress Micheline Presle (still alive at 97) and American actor and director William Marshall. Please don't confuse it with German Schlager singer Tony Marshall

Not only ready to come back, but already back! He said to Wycombe he needed time to grieve properly, then became Northampton Town boss the next day. Methinks that would compound the misery.
