He was the first death.

Second death of 2018: Albino Longhi - Italian journalist Not a good year to be a journalist!

Gone for Wouk.

Interesting list this time around, sensible decision to drop the Queen, as expected Clive James returns but oddly way down the pecking order but dropping Stiles is the mother of all gambles.

My eight to go and reasons why Gay Byrne (still sounding strong) Sandy Gall (excellent health) Queen Elizabeth II (excellent health and only 91) David Prowse (too early) Emperor Akihito (not abdicating until 2019, still in reasonable health) Ian St John (still robust despite cancer diagnosis) Honor Blackman (excellent health) Doug Ellis (excellent health)

I reckon Gall will be carried over having been on the list for successive years in an attempt to make him a Deathlist legend.

Is that the TV Presenter or Captain America?

Can't see an 18th death for 2017 but Clive James will be the first death of 2018 assuming he's back on the Deathlist.

Forgot about Val Kilmer, he now replaces Doris Day on my list.

Tutu replaces Akihito now you suggest it after reading more posts about him. The Queen may be too big to miss but with no current health issues and only 91 it's worth the risk to drop her for one year.
