She also wrote for the NME as "Jane Solanas." Her real name was Jane Jackman, I think.

Punk-era music writer Jane Suck deceased, as noted by her Sounds colleague Jon Savage.

A couple of days ago there were reports online that Jeff Beck had died, which were quickly dismissed as a hoax...??

He's not likely to die of it, but apparently he's had a hair transplant.

So farewell then, Pope Benedict XVI. On the Death List forum, Your thread is labelled HOT! Hopefully you yourself Are Not.

JFK, C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley. Huxley took his last trip while the news of Kennedy was on the TV in another room.

Wearing a rubber mask, from the look of it.

When Anne Heche died it was interesting to see Ellen's rather forced tribute. She obviously hadn't had anything to do with her for years.

The Exploited were on Top Of The Pops once....

Sad news if right. The sound he created was absolutely right for Lynch's world.

There were a lot of later members. They made an album with Timothy Leary!

Manuel Göttsching of Ash Ra Tempel dead at 70: With Klaus Schulze gone that's only one member surviving from their original lineup.

Sounds like she might decide to go the way of Jean-Luc Godard.

Mike Bryson, bass player and cover artist of 80s pranksters Bogshed, died recently. There's now only one of the band still alive, making them probably one of the most recent bands to have reached that stage: http://dieordiy2.blogspot.com/2022/11/andy-matthews-spring-or-bog-shed-in.html

Don't forget it's a holiday weekend in the US. (Perhaps when they saw Clint Eastwood had got up from his deathbed they thought it was safe to take the time off.)

Surprised no one's yet posted the news about Irene Cara: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-63767710 Fame was a big deal in 1982.

Sad news about Tim Beddows. It's hard to imagine the British archive TV scene without Network.

People who've become famous in the last couple of decades are as a rule simply not all that old and unlikely to die with much advance notice. Except in one circumstance: note how many people on that list had cancer.

She looks even more like a transvestite in that pic.

I think Eastwood is the likeliest name that's come up there. He's the most prolific director, the most "iconic" star, and I think the oldest person.

He was a pretty crappy manager actually.

I suspect that the people now in charge of BBC newsrooms listened to post-punk and indie in their teenage/student years.

It's going to be tricky when Milli Vanilli die.

Only a couple of the original members of Earth And Fire are left now. I read recently that singer Jerney Kaagman is in a nursing home and has Alzheimer's.

Hawkwind's line-up ought to include Stacia (dance), born 26 Dec 1952 and still with us.
