Think they have been mentioned recently, but I can't find the appropriate post. Karam and Kartari Chand, the world's longest married couple (living), seem to be doing well as they lead the Joy of Reading (it's the activity as opposed to the town!) Parade in their home town of Girlington. http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/local/localbrad/13324531.Sunshine_smiles_on_Girlington_s_annual_parade/

Nek Chand Saini, known for building the Rock Garden of Chandigarh, an eighteen-acre sculpture garden in the city of Chandigarh, India, 90. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-33105899 One team on the DDP successful with their joker, no less.

Martin Cole, aka "Sex King Cole", UK sexologist, 83. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article4467752.ece His controversial film Growing Up caused outrage.

Wiki has Cole Tucker, gay porn star, 61. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cole_Tucker). Apparently from an AIDS related illness. I am aware of another link to his death, but you'd have to wade through an amazing amount of graphic acts to get there. Interestingly, he was involved with a Tory MEP Tom Spencer in the late 1990s, the story broke with him being found in possession of gay porn. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/269329.stm and http://www.thefreelibrary.com/HIV+shock+for+wife+of+drug+bust+Tory.-a060423191 Edit: Clean News Story: http://www.edgeboston.com/news/news/178941/report:_gay_porn_star_cole_tucker,_61,_dies_of_aids-related_illness_

Jim Ed Brown got the all clear from cancer a couple of months ago, however the disease has now returned. Shit he was my joker for next year. That 'disease' is called lung cancer in an 81-yr old. I knew he was dead meat. SC According to his daughter (in the quote above) she states it's not in his lungs, so it wouldn't be lung cancer. Instead it would be "insert-affected-organ-here cancer" Dead. http://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2015/06/11/country-singer-jim-ed-brown-dies/71097224/ 3 DDP teams need a link so here's the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/worldfolkandjazz/11669709/Jim-Ed-Brown-country-music-star-dies-aged-81.html (Edited and Updated)

Well, it's past midnight here and no more big deaths (phew, emotionally draining or what?!!!) so let's pause to remember Egon Ronay who died 5 years ago today.

Chartoff, Moody, Lee, Coleman and Rhodes. 5 big names in one day, with hours to go. Is this the blackest day in DL history? BTW, the Entertainment and Arts page on the BBC looks like a graveyard of celebrity at the moment!

Martin Sheen's brother, Francisco Estevez, 77. http://www.whio.com/news/news/local/francisco-estevez-brother-of-martin-sheen-dies/nmbPY/

Gone for Richard Adams this time, he should survive after my vote as usual.

Just about to post it, he was not looking well recently, Golddust and Stardust must have expected it. RIP The American Dream. I've just seen another fly drop it must be a sign!!! Here's the Indy for the one team in the DDP that picked him: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/wwe-mma-wrestling/dusty-rhodes-dead-wwe-legend-and-hall-of-fame-wrester-dies-at-the-age-of-69-10314441.html

can Blatter fire someone if he himself has resigned? Think so, he's the big Swiss cheese until he's worked his notice. De Gregorio will probably return after the election of a new President.

Self destruction continues as Blatter "fires" communications director Walter De Gregorio. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-3119995/FIFA-communications-chief-quits.html What's that they say about a drowning man?

He's actually a huuuuge name in jazz circles. That's a very significant death. Not as big as Christopher Lee's, but bigger than Ron Moody's. Indeed a huge name (I'm a musicals fan so I'll disagree on Moody ha ha). Apparently he had just filed a lawsuit against his former colleagues for releasing New Vocabulary without his permission. Maybe the shock and strain of the last year in preparation for this step was too much, I dunno. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6582967/ornette-coleman-lawsuit-antibalas-jordan

Ornette Coleman, saxophonist, 85. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/12/arts/music/ornette-coleman-jazz-saxophonist-dies-at-85-obituary.html?_r=0 Ramblin' https://youtu.be/kqwdRBWvPs0

Announced on the same day, but Lee died on 7 June.

Think I first saw him in James Bond. I remember thinking at the time - "He's too good for this pile of nonsense." In actual fact he was probably too good for most of the movies he was in, but working right up until the end. With Ron Moody passing as well, the UK has lost two awesome talents. Fangs for the memories.

Ron Moody, most famously Fagin in Oliver!, 91. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33094914 4 DDP teams don't have to think it out again. https://youtu.be/96rC4X_KWl4

Well done, and welcome. Huzzah, and Awesome!
