Love to do a 90's game and Eurovision game because I was born in 1989 and it was the music I grew up with. -

My online friend's mother got diagnosed with cancer around October. She went in a hospice in January and last weekend there was a funeral for her day after her death (it's a Portugese thing). Big rapid decline once she entered hospice care.

I just looked this up. Apparently he smoked up to 10 a day due to stress of his job. Looks like his daughter Malia smokes as well based on photos found.

On Sean Lennon's Twitter. A message from Paul: "Wishing Yoko a peaceful and happy birthday. With love from Paul, Nancy and the kids."

Beatles nerd coming in. Ringo was a quite sickly child (had tuberculosis) and couldn't/can't eat certain foods. He had to have his tonsils removed when Beatles were on tour in 1964 which is why Jimmie Nicol replaced him for a short time. Ringo even had to leave India in 1968 after less than two weeks as he couldn't deal with the food. He did also turn into an alcoholic but as far as i'm aware not touched a drop since the 80's. By the 70s i'm pretty sure most of the band were vegan or vegetarian. Paul is more healthy than Ringo. Based on John's lifestyle i'm sure he would have lived until after 2000 if other medical conditions or Yoko didn't get in the way. His father lasted until he was 63 and Aunt Mimi died aged 85. All three of his sister's are alive and in their 70's.
