    If someone is "notable" or not depend also on the own personal perspective.

    In my opinion she is well known enough, not only in USA and on a worldwide perspective i would mean she is more notable than people like bracknell, downie, sandy gall, gay byrne or erroll christie

    Funny thing, I actually have heard of Gord Downie before his cancer diagnosis. I haven't heard of Clearly before joining the deathlist forums, and I do live in America.

    Oh crap. We lost another one. I was hoping we could get through May without another death. By the way, I never heard of Ian Brady, until Deathlist. Who the hell is he anyway?

    She is arguably the worst person to try and lead a a resistance as 1)She couldn`t beat Trump in the first place and 2)Any point she makes about Trump however valid will invariably look like sour grapes on her part.

    I got to say, if I was old enough to vote, and there was a decent conservative candidate who was the nominee against Clinton (like, for example, John Kaisich), I probably would've voted for the conservative candidate, and that's coming from someone who has pretty liberal views. Trump is still much more of an asshole than Clinton though, and I definitely would've voted for Clinton at last years election.

    Manuel Noriega- Former Panama Leader.

    I'm hoping we can get a dictator kill streak going, Castro in 2016, Mugabe in 2017 and maybe Noriega in 2018.

    That, and he also got a brain tumor and was in critical condition last time we had an update for him.

    Just so you know, Violet Brown will never make the list, as the oldest person in the world is not famous enough (yes they're famous, but not notable elsewhere ). Many of your picks are either too young or way too healthy. That said, I do think Manuel Noriega, David Attenborough, and Loretta Lynn should be on the 2018 list.

    Ouch! These omissions hurt.... 

    Yves Montand

    Nina Simone

    Demis Roussos. Aphrodites Child

    Ok, this one is a bit long gone but nonetheless fits the criteria.

    Richard Wagner

     

     

     

    Found some more.     (I have no life....)

     

    Butch Trucks Greg Allman's drummer who died earlier this year.

    Nicolas Caldwell, Founding member of the Whispers.

    Jack Ely, Lead singer of the Kingsmen. 

    Jerry Reed Country singer

    Sacha Distel French crooner

    Frank Wilson Motown producer 

    Freddie Fender Tex-Mex legend

    Jacky Lomax

    John Holt Reggae pioneer

    Ian McLagan Keyboardist of the Faces, Small Faces 

    Ken Brown Quarrymen, Beatles

    Jim McCann Dubliners

    Tony Bellamy Redbone

    Henri Mancini Composer film music

    I know for a fact Butch Trucks, Jack Ely, and Ian McLagan were already on the list. Let me double check if I've already gotten anyone else you've mentioned.

    I don't think we'll have a new record. It's becoming evident that we will have a few certs survive until 2018 (Bracknell and Downie) and that some of the too famous to lose are still active (Queen, Phillips). I think we can get anywhere from 12-13 hits.

    I think it'll be more like 2009, where all the certs die, but it won't happen till the later months. There were 6 certs in 2009, and while Llewellyn and Richards died early on, the others hanged on until around August and September. Plus, there is a thing called taking a turn for the worse, and I have a feeling Downie and Bracknell will take that turn in, say, July or August (which is why I regret not putting Bracknell on my DDP team :banghead:). But that's just my thoughts.

    Many of us had Noakes. Rockhopper and drol also had Konstantinos whatshisface on their teams, and Allman was a hit for me. Strange how a quarter of the baby boomers on my team have already died, but it's not going to be much easier though...
