    Julz Sale, founder and vocalist with Delta 5, reportedly dead: https://louderthanwar.com/julz-sale-delta-5-founder-rip/ Edit: Apparently died in Thailand, where she was a teacher of English, of cancer. Part of the Rock Against Racism movement in the 80s, they weren't particularly commercially successful at the time, though John Peel did have a session with them (no, not that way).
