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.

I’ve always thought she might end up being one of the last major pop stars of the 60s standing. Having been born in 1948, she has to be the youngest performer associated with the “British Invasion” period.

That’s Paul Jones, John Paul Jones is Led Zeppelin’s bassist and keyboardist

You could edit it?

What happened, do tell!

Brian Wilson’s wife and manager Melinda dead at 77. She is largely credited with separating him from controversial psychologist Eugene Landy - the story is dramatised in Love & Mercy (2014)

Man, bless him. He sounded totally fine in 2016 but it seems like his voice was already diminished in 2022.

I think journalist Bill Harry (b. 1938) is one to watch. Perhaps not a big enough name for the committee but he is certain to obit - he created Mersey Beat magazine in 1961, thus coining the famous name for the Merseyside rock scene, and had a close association with the Beatles - he arranged for Brian Epstein to see them perform at the Cavern Club. He’s one of the last people alive who had a big impact on the Beatles’ story pre-fame. He is active on social media but I believe he has been quite unwell for some time.

Steve Boone was born 23 September 1943 according to his fb account.
