Well, they only had a huge #1 in the UK in May 1992 with Please Don't Go: How the major press haven't picked this up is a mystery.

Michael Lerner seems to be a pick both in the current Deaths of the Silver Screen and Scavenger Hunt pools @Bibliogryphon.

Bob Goody turned up in the first part of Why Didn't They Ask Evans? this evening. Must have been his last role. Good to see him, even after the sad news of his death.

Lasse Wellander, guitarist for the group who toured and recorded with the band, appeared on the Chess concept album (including the UK hit One Night In Bangkok by Murray Head) and the Mamma Mia! soundtracks, reportedly dead: Nothing from official sources as yet unless there's something on FB, but seemingly true. He was 70.

My heartfelt thoughts with you and yours. 7 years with Stage IV, she must have been a fighter and the end was peaceful and hopefully pain free.

I was interested to see he reportedly played bass on the chart topping single version of the Bowie/Jagger version of Dancing In The Street.

Some kind of error in the follow up tweet?

Nora Forster is a DDP pick - publishing heiress or summat.

It's probably easier from a distance? You could say a lot of the same about Boris - but he's an out and out cunt. Or a magnificent bastard, depending on how you view him.

He's not dead yet but Michael York seems one who might have featured by now. Moved to be near the Mayo Clinic last year - could easily go anytime.

96 year old John Kander turned up on the Stephen Colbert show last night to promote his new show with Lin Manuel Miranda. Didn't see him walk on like other guests, he was already in place, but otherwise looked and sounded great.

Scott Benton loses the Tory Whip for trying to get cash to lobby Ministers in a sting. Probably one of the most utter toadies to the Government Benches I have ever seen.
