Maybe @Bibliogryphon will recall.....

His art goes on display: http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2018-07-19/the-art-of-sir-john-hurt-norfolk-stars-paintings-revealed/ Also, wasn't the sub-title of this thread The Hurt Locker? @Cat O'Falk

Hostage situation inside a Trader Joes in Los Angeles. Reports from the scene suggest that the hostage taker has sent demands out...for decent food.

Bob Dole is 95. Bob Dole. 95.

Oh gawd Toastie, but then some of our newer members wouldn't have the gift of reading contributions from such luminaries of the board such as Godot, Josco, Banshees Scream, etc etc. Might encourage them to up their game...or in some cases lower it!

Danish born actress Helli Louise who had a role as a nudist in Carry On Behind has reportedly died according to Robin Askwith: Other appearances include The Benny Hill Show, Love Thy Neighbour and obviously Confessions Of A Pop Performer. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0521943/

Oh! Who's our go to guy for info on Monarch butterflies now?

Yeah, I am hard pushed to find any deaths amongst that lot. Unless someone's carked it while we've been looking for the winner!

So if @Clorox Bleachman is to be believed, it's Now 73? Let's have a look.

Not with Amy Winehouse on it!

Well, actually having listened to it, I really can't hear Leczano's harmonica on the mash-up. It is there in the original. So.....what do we think? It's a bit of a push to say he was on the Doctor Pressure number, but he appeared on the original? In order to save any doubt, I suggest we move on and find one that definitely doesn't have a dead person involved.

Actually I just had a horrible feeling and I was right. Gustavo Lezcano played on Miami Sound Machine's Dr Beat and therefore the mash-up must include him. Lezcano died in 2014. @The Quim Reaper, wanna try again?

I find it hard to challenge Now 62. I think and hope we are there!

Kool and The Gang re-recorded and were featured on Atomic Kitten's version of Ladies Night, Almost certainly therefore it would have included Claydes Charles Smith, guitarist for the band, who died in 2006.

You may be right! Mind you, getting into "well out of my sphere of knowledge" and "Can't be arsed Wiki-ing them" territory.

This is good, I'm enjoying this...all while waiting an announcement from the Palace....ha!

Right, after much searching, Mark Spoon of Storm - Time To Burn died of a heart attack in 2006. So we are out on Now 47.

I fucking know! Bloody Wiki took me to a place of pain...

Wait I may have got my bands mixed up and again I can't edit my message!

Nah Tom Searle of Architechs died of cancer in 2016.

Hmm Roger Dinsdale performed the banjo part on The Grid's Swamp Thing. Dinsdale died in 2009. Does that cause issues for Now 28?

Interestingly, there are more people alive who appeared on Now 1 than Now 23. Or I should say, there have been fewer deaths from those on Now 1. Afaik.

Is a Twitter rumour a Tumour?

Listen to your Now That's What I Call Music albums, which apparently has hit #100. Listening time for me: Zero. Never owned one, never desired one.

Ah yes, the orgy with Denis Norden, Olivia de Havilland, Kirk Douglas, and the festering corpse of Lord Peter Carrington seems to have claimed a victim.
