Singer, songwriter and musician Pave Maijanen's ALS has progressed pretty quickly to the point he can no longer talk and is in a wheelchair. He's known for his famous songs in the 1980s and downfall in the 1990s, especially for getting the last place in the 1992 eurovision song contest. https://www.seiska.fi/Uutiset/Sairaus-vei-puhekyvyn-Neumann-ystavansa-Pave-Maijasen-kohtalosta-Vaikeinta-on-tajuta-ettei He's also 70. One I recommend to put on some list.

Biden and Richards are pretty healthy people in their seventies. The Queen would probably be a good addition to the list, as she's going to be 95 next april and if she died it would be a pretty big hit to miss

Diego Maradona dead. One away from number 31. 31 hasn't been picked yet. -
As all the old DL centenarians are dead, here are some suggestions: Norman Lloyd, 106. Looked very frail in the birthday photos a couple of weeks ago and he's 106 now. Marsha Hunt, 103. Photos from three years ago with Lloyd show her in a wheelchair. One for the list if she survives until 2021. Tom Moore, 100. You all know who he is. Going to be 100 later this year: Yegor Ligyachov, 99. Veteran Soviet politician, former enemy of Gorbachev. 100 in five days. George Shultz, 99. Reagan's secretary of state, Nixon's secretary of the treasury.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupo_(dog) Probably not the most known member of the royal family, but William's and Kate's dog died last weekend aged 8. Appeared multiple times with Prince George, once Will and Kate were accused of animal cruelty when they had George feeding ice cream to the dog in one picture. I wonder how the Queen's two dorgis are doing.
