All ages on the DL are the ages the deathlistees are supposed to be turning in the given year.

The DL's only person in Epstein's Little Black Book, Ethel Kennedy.

Made one more edit (hopefully the last one). Replaced Joe Biden in the list with Lee Grant (actress, Hollywood blacklistee), then replaced Julie Walters with Biden.

Bob Newhart out of the blue.

Hopefully there won't be any last minute change shenanigans due to late deaths like there were last year for me. Anyway: Abdul "Duke" Fakir (singer) Akihito Alain Delon Andy Taylor (Duran Duran guitarist) Berry Gordy Bob Newhart Buzz Aldrin Cindy Birdsong Cleo Laine David Attenborough Dick Van Dyke Don King Ethel Kennedy Frankie Valli George Lazenby George Soros Glynis Johns Harrison Ruffin Tyler (engineer, John Tyler's grandson) Iris Apfel James Earl Jones James Whale Jim Lovell Jimmy Carter Joanne Woodward John Ashton (guitarist) John Astin (actor) Jonnie Irwin Josef Fritzl June Spencer Katherine Jackson (Jackson clan matriarch) Lee Grant (American actress) Leontyne Price Maggie Smith Mel Brooks Noam Chomsky Pope Francis Prince Edward Richard Williams (tennis coach) Roberta Flack Rosemary Harris Shannen Doherty Sonny Rollins Sophia Loren Tenzin Gyatso (Dalai Lama) Tom Lehrer Vanessa Redgrave Willie Mays (baseball) Woody Allen Yoko Ono Zhu Rongji (former chinese PM) Substitutes Dennis Skinner Garnet Mimms Joe Biden Marianne Faithfull Wole Soyinka

Founder of The Jack and Jill Foundation, Jonathan Irwin, passed away at 82 according to the foundation's twitter (x).

Don't think he's eligible yet. Denny Seiwell (the original drummer) is still alive at 80.

Derek Chauvin, George Floyd's convicted killer, seriously injured and hospitalised after prison stabbing.

Think any notable US presidential children/grandchildren could be a shout, a lot of newspapers/news sites often obit them (although they're mostly low hanging fruit due to their age). Harrison Ruffin Tyler (John Tyler's grandson, turning 96 next year, was mentioned several times across the forums and when it was discovered he's still alive the news got pretty big media coverage; additionally, he's been suffering from dementia for the last 11 years and had multiple mini-strokes) Eleanor Roosevelt Seagraves (FDR's granddaughter, turning 97 in March, she and her brother Curtis-who died in 2016-were pretty popular in 1930s as "Buzzie and Sistie", she often attends Democratic events; she gave an interview in May this year and still looks sharp, but at her age it can change at any given moment) John Roosevelt Boettiger (another FDR's grandchild, half-brother to Eleanor, turns 85 next year, widower and retired psychology professor; pretty much a stretch, but one for the future? Maybe, maybe not, more likely not, but still.) Franklin D. Roosevelt III (same deal as John, turns 86 next year, retired economist and academic close to Hillary Clinton, haven't seen many news about him recently so I really can't judge) Luci Baines Johnson (Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter, turns 77 next year, philantropist; seemingly in good health at the moment but she suffered from pretty rare Guillain–Barré syndrome back in 2010) and her sister Lynda Bird Johnson Robb (who turns 80 next year and is currently the oldest living presidential child) Susan Ford Bales (Gerald Ford's daughter, the youngest person on this list-turns 67 next year-but suffers from heart problems and has been living with a pacemaker for the last 13 years, so possibly a name for a distant future?) I know most names on the list seem like a long stretch, but I also think that some of them on it could be considered for the DL, in the future at least that is.

Tough call between Shane MacGowan and Jimmy Carter, but MacGowan, although I can see Ethel Kennedy surprising everyone and being the next hit.

Yep. Plus her death date on the grave is just all the letters and numbers copypasted from those that already were on the tombstone.

Confirmed on the official (x)twitter page of The Kinks. RIP.

Not many golden age crooners around these days. RIP.

One more 50s name that I came across today- Jimmy Clanton, the singer of such hits as Venus In Blue Jeans or Just a Dream, is still alive and somewhat active, turning 85 in September.

I agree that the Robinson comparison could be considered a pretty big stretch. However, I wouldn't say that Valli was/is much bigger star than Vinton, in all honesty I could see it being the other way round but all in all that's just my subjective opinion.

Last week I was updating my Spotify playlists when I came across the fact that old 50s and 60s stars Bobby Vinton (88) and Duane Eddy (85) are still around these days. Truth be told I was pretty suprised, also for the reason that I don't feel anyone ever really mentions them that much on the forums (unlike f.e. Frankie Valli or Smokey Robinson).

Also, in a way, Stu Sutcliffe was the first Beatle to die in 1962 (although, yes, he left the band a year prior). McCartney took over bass only after Sutcliffe left, afaik.

Think Kundera could be the one.

Whoops, yeah, no, sorry, my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out! There are multiple possible dates for both Alice's (possibly 1474 or 1478) and Richard's (either 1490, 1495 or 1502) dates of birth, and since I used to work on the family tree mostly late at night, I screwed up here. Additionally, I've just checked and a few sources say that Alice got married in 1493 though, so now that I think about it, it's more than likely that Alice was born around 1474 and Richard 1502 (in 1495 Alice supposedly gave birth to Thomas Croxton Carter, a brother to Richard and William). So once more, díky, and sorry for the inaccuracy!

Very distant, but yes. Jimmy is June's great-grandfather's 9th cousin's great-grandson (so they shared a relative in late 1400s). Edit: And Jimmy is also half-second cousin to Motown's Berry Gordy, but that relation is pretty known afaik. What people don't realise is that through that relation (and, of course, several marriages), we can link few more interesting names to Jimmy's family tree, like Marvin Gaye (was married to Gordy's sister Anna and had a son with Gordy's niece Denise), Jermaine Jackson (was married to Gordy's daughter Hazel 1973-1988 and had 3 children with her), Diana Ross (wasn't married to Gordy, but gave birth to his eldest daughter Rhonda) or, out of all people, both members of LMFAO (who are Gordy's son and grandson).

Tongo is a hit for me.

And to think he was supposed to take a plane few hours before the earthquake but decided not to as he scored a late winner the night before and went out celebrating with his teammates...man, RIP.

Gave it a try and found out she was married between 1946-1950(+?) to Joseph Anthony Calsaretti/Calzaretta, supported by marriage record and census. Sadly, no information on her current status found, although she is listed dead on FamilySearch.

I think that any of the remaining Jackson's could be the last one standing. Father Joe Jackson died age 89 and mother Katherine is still alive age 92, so some "longevity genes" could be there.

Lubomír Štrougal, a former Czech communist PM of 18 years, dead at 98. Late, but still a good riddance.
