    Please Let It Be... Paul McCartney

    Really enjoyed his Glasto set. Good for an 80 year old not to need a toilet break! We'll miss the old millionaire when he's gone.

    Sometime guitarist with The Manhattans and brother of Regina Belle, Bernard Belle has reportedly died after recovering from a stroke some years ago: https://www.soultracks.com/story-bernard-belle-dies Co-wrote such as Remember The Time for Michael Jackson and Something In Common for Bobby Brown with Whitney Houston, but I've plumped for Hi-Five's I Like The Way (The Kissing Game), #43 in the UK charts in June 1991 (although a much bigger hit elsewhere) which I may have posted on another thread in connection with a death:

    The Beatles Death Curse

    I love going tenuous in this thread. Frank Doran, former Lord Mayor of Liverpool who presented John Lennon's Freedom of the City of Liverpool to Yoko Ono personally in Central Park in 1998, reportedly dead: Of course, Lennon had been dead for nearly 18 years before the Freedom was delivered. Cue Scouse jokes in 3....

He never seems to have been picked. Ah well.

    Presenters

    Raising this again. Obvs Stewpot and Daniels are dead, how Henry Kelly survives, I dunno. Anyway, it came as a surprise to see an article today (bot generated) on Sarah Kennedy's "death" - I think there was vandalism on her Wiki some time ago, but that was never proved. I'm not aware of even rumours recently about the old hermit. Odd it popped up though, there's normally summat that sparks these off.
