I predict we have will have the death of an elderly Oscar winning actress from the 60s/70s very soon.- someone such as Glenda Jackson, Maggie Smith or Julie Andrews.

Just a thought, but might the lack of shows in the last year or so be down to the global pandemic (venues being closed, keep people safe, etc) rather than due to his own health?

As long as his successor isn't Jess Phillips, nobody needs that.

Barry Humphries is embarking on a substantial UK tour in April/May 2022, so must be physically up to it.

The man is in his 70s. His death would not be unlikely.

Well done...!! And you picked Poitier for first death. Very impressive.

Elton John doesn't strike me as someone who will live to very old age. He's had a number of health scares and hospitalisations over recent years, and I have a feeling his will be a quick and sudden death.

Even I didn't think it would be Betty White

No, the issue here is people claiming this is a big miss. I'm trying to explain that to me, it's not, because he is not well known in the UK. I suppose it'd be like Neil Kinnock dying while not on the list. Would Americans see that as a big miss? No. But to me, it would be. Like I said a few posts back, its all relative.

Talked about by who? Americans! Carter was president when i was born, so i have lived through a few presidencies. British people tend to only know presidents, vice presidents and presidential candidates - which is why i know names like Mondale, Gore, Kerry, McCain, Romney. We may also know some secretaries of state (although I'm buggered if i could name the current one). Trust me, Harry Reid is not a name known to UK people with just a mild interest in politics.

I know, you said his name will be known to anyone in the UK with a mild interest in US politics. As one of those people, I can say with confidence, that is not the case. I'm not here for an argument. We are allowed to disagree.

I disagree, I have a mild level of interest in US politics, and his name will not be known to the majority of people in the UK. As for being well known amongst UFO enthusiasts, I'll have to take your word for that.

I have no clue who John Madden or Harry Reid are. I doubt anyone else in the UK does either. So not a big miss as far as I'm concerned, but it's all relative, I suppose.

There's still time for someone to do a Pierre Cardin and croak just before year end. Someone like Alan Greenspan. At least it would get him off the bloody list.

Joey Essex? Well i never....

And nobody is more surprised than me. Still 27 days to go though...

I'm predicting a run of American politicians' deaths over the next couple of months...Dole, Carter and Kissinger, with Bill Clinton not too far behind. How Dole is still alive at this point is beyond me!

Maybe he's fucked off that he has to attend a remembrance service on his birthday

Everyone there looks solemn...it's a bloody remembrance service. He's hardly going to be grinning from massive ear to massive ear.

His dress sense is awful and he resembles Timmy Mallet, but other than that, he looks absolutely fine.

Am I missing something? I thought palliative care meant end of life care? So if she's being treated by cancer palliative care team, that means she's suffering from terminal cancer, doesn't it? I think a cancer palliative team have better things to do than treat someone with a sinus infection.

That's a farewell message if ever I heard one. He'll be gone by November... (is that a Wyclef Jean song?)

Sometimes it's better to just observe than participate, mate. Bumping threads for no reason and making inane comments doesn't go down well on here. Before you contribute, just ask yourself, am I providing an informative update about the death or impending death of a notable person? Or am I just making random comments for the sake of it? Commenting "die" on threads is not informative.
