All good shouts. On a similar tack, Buddy Guy turns 88 in a few days and retired from touring this year. Strikes me as a big enough name for the DL.

Very good calls Arghton. Is Yoko Ono having lewy body dementia confirmed? Sounds correct but I hadn’t heard this.

Aw, I’m gutted I missed seeing him. Truly the end of an era!

I am gutted about this. I saw the Zombies only in June and they were still phenomenal. The finest live act of all the remaining 60s veterans.

Lots of pictures on Twitter from Tom’s first “meet and greet” event in years yesterday.

Anyone know if he did appear at this in the end?

Gutted about this. Saw the Zombies only last month and he was on absolutely fantastic form. Both him and Blunstone had not lost it one bit - so unusual for guys from the 60s. I expect Blunstone won’t continue as the Zombies now. Really sad.

Longtime Beatles associate Tony Bramwell reported dead at 78. He grew up with three of the Beatles in Liverpool, worked for them at NEMS and later Apple Corps and directed the “Lady Madonna” promo clip. Quite a prominent figure in the world of Beatles conventions and the like. Apparently he had dementia.

To demand he be allowed to resume his Hollywood acting career is a bit ridiculous. If Hollywood studios don’t want him and movie goers don’t wanna see him, that’s up to them - it’s not his god-given right to be in Hollywood movies. You can’t foist him on a public and industry who aren’t interested in entertaining him and his narcissistic schtick

Anyone know what happened to British film and TV actor Fred Evans? Appeared in a lot of bit parts (The Avengers, Minder, Bergerac, Jeeves and Wooster); he’s a scene stealer as a policeman in Mr. Horatio Knibbles. I imagine he’s long dead but can’t find a date anywhere.

Whoops - it’s all on his wife’s FB page.

That’s a shame. Incidentally, Len Garry, another former Quarryman, is currently hospitalised and in poor health

You folks really hate fat people huh

Patriot? He’s British, we don’t do that rubbish here.

The exact words of the court filing are “major neurocognitive disorder (such as dementia)”. That sounds like it’s referring to the pre-existing mental issues he has had for decades that most fans are aware of. Even if he does have dementia, it seems quite low for news outlets to take the words “(such as dementia)” and report a diagnosis.
