Twitter's alive with his death aged 89. Calling Dr Bombay!!! https://twitter.com/Snoodit/status/809164624599781377 Looking for confirmation.

Given Piet De Jong didn't get a qualifying obit, he's at best a dodgy pick imo.

Next Unexpected "national Treasure" Death
YoungWillz replied to Sean's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
He's a treasure...should be buried. -
25 years since cricket commentator John Arlott went over the boundary aged 77.

Composed the theme to Diff'rent Strokes, I see. For that, he should have been mentioned on here before. Gawd bless 'im for that.
-
Think he was more a session muso, backed Wham! on a tour as I recall. Much more famous for the latter Matt Bianco stuff, and also being the son of a famous trumpeter.

Yes I meant Reverend Billy Graham! You're a superstar, Shaun, thanks for confirming.

Too old to be a catamite?

No, he didn't. Why am I seeing multiple news sources then? He's dead alright. I posted notice of that in Dead Pop Stars. He recorded the first version, but he didn't write Green Door. Look it up. Ah. I saw the word singer songwriter and thought he wrote the song. Should look a bit more in depth sometimes Good lad.

Josef Fritzl, Thomas Mair, Anders Breivik, Ian Watkins, Ian Huntley, Rolf Harris, Dennis Nilsen... And what did Norman Tebbit do that was so bad? Did he do anything worse than what the IRA did in the 80s? I like Tebbit seems a decent enough bloke.An opinionated old buffer but in my eyes he has a grumpy old uncle appeal like Tony Benn Dennis Skinner and Bill Cash. You weren't there, man, you had to be there to understand.....
