There being a small amount of 1916 notables was mentioned on the last page but I was suprised by how few 1918 names there are: Only 12 with English wiki pages, 8 of them on the "living centenarians" list: Lloyd Geering (26 Feb 1918) Theologian, him or Brenda Milner the most notable name out of these. Elisabeth Waldo (15 Jun 1918) Violinist, composer, songwriter, conductor and ethnomusicologist Angel Martín Taboas (18 Jun 1918 - 27 Oct 2023) Puerto Rico Supreme Court Associate Justice Brenda Milner (15 Jul 1918) British-Canadian neuropsychologist Beatrice Lumpkin (3 Apr 1918) Union organizer, doyenne of the US Communist Party Paul Mwazha (25 Oct 1918) Zimbabwe clergyman/cultist, age disputed, could be around 10 years younger Silvana Lattmann (8 Nov 1918 - 19 Jul 2023) Swiss writer Ángeles Flórez Peón (17 Nov 1918) Spanish socialist militiawoman The 4 ones not on the list: Max D.

Perennially ill Finnish schlager singer Kristian "Kisu" Jernström diagnosed with "agressive submucosal stomach cancer", but (somehow) doesn't sound too serious. He survived laryngeal cancer a few years ago, has a congenital pancreatic anomaly, others ailments (and was a heavy drinker in the past)

15/16 I think. Berlusconi's at 16/17, but Fujimorey's getting there. Superstar Billy Graham's long-lost Peruvian brother Alberto Fujimori will be discharged on the 10th of February. Edit: Or 10th of March, as that's taken already.

Not really a despot but Festus Mogae, President of Botswana 1998-2008, hospitalized with undisclosed ailments. Recovering.

Siddheshwar Prasad, former Governor of Tripura, died last month at 94. Fifth-oldest Indian Governor at the time of his death.

BNK Chhibber's wikipedia page has been edited to say he died last year but there's no source anywhere.

Shakira's dad William Mebarak Chadid hospitalised. He was supposed to have an operation on the 6th but it has been postponed due to "medical reasons" and "might happen in the coming weeks"

That Madonna image reminded me a bit of Silvio Santos, made me check on how he's doing... Here's a somewhat recent unedited image. Starting to look a bit ghoulish?

Tongo critical and just yesterday rumored dead. Decrepit Russian version of David Attenborough Nikolay Drozdov has been hospitalised after falling down and breaking eight ribs according to Russian media, but apparently on the mend or discharged already.

WWII Navajo code talker John Kinsel Sr. turns 106. As mentioned before there are 3 living World War Two Navajo code talkers left from the 400: John Kinsel Sr., 106 Thomas H. Begay, 95/98 Peter MacDonald, 94, Navajo Nation crook lord who was once in jail but released 22 years ago due to "failing health" after suffering several heart attacks. Also has diabetes and arthritis, but isn't very frail.

Means that there's only one living of the Taiwan's Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism: Hsing Yun (1927-2023) Wei Chueh (1928-2016) Sheng-yen (1931-2009) Cheng Yen (1937) As far as I know Cheng Yen has a congenital heart disease and angina but is otherwise doing fine.
