Billy Kametz, whose voice work includes the English voice of Josuke Higashikata from the anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable and Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak and the English voice of Ferdinand von Aegir from the video game Fire Emblem: Three Houses, announces he has stage 4 colon cancer:

Maybe I'm just (greatly) underestimating his fame. I know Jodorowsky and his movies are greatly loved within movie circles but comparing him to (past) DL picks like Godard and Bergman I'm not sure if he has the same amount of fame as those two and is considered famous enough for the Committee to pick or know him.

Not a DL-worthy name, but will definitely Q/O: Chilean movie director Alejandro Jodorowsky (1929). He took a break from work and from his social media until 21 April because of doctor's orders (something to do with his eyes) but announced on the supposed day of return he had to extend the break until May. And on recent videos he's either sitting down or only walks a short distance before he goes back to sitting down. I may be looking too much into this one (and I probably am), but he will turn 94 in February next year regardless.

He posted this only 7 months ago and Jeff Ross is now the only one still alive from that picture. RIP. I liked his work.

New picture of him: And translation (according to Google Translate): "My friends, I know that there are people looking for news about me. So I send it here. Today I took the day to take care of my look! Since the beginning of the pandemic, my wife has been my favorite hairdresser. Don't you think I'm handsome?"

A big and unexpected one: Meat Loaf dead at 74.

20. The 20th hit will happen in November causing us to anxiously await the whole month of December for the record-breaking 21st hit, only for it to never happen.

The only footballer out of the three who won't see 2023, I reckon.

This article mentions Boebi van Meegeren died in 2017 . Exact date unknown, only that it happened in the weekend of 16/17 December 2017.

And @chilean way too, because Inez van Dullemen died two weeks ago. https://netherlandsnewslive.com/writer-inez-van-dullemen-passed-away/292851/ I could have sworn I did a search for her name, but apparently I didn't.

I assume Mario Zagallo, Giovanni Trappatoni, Gianni Rivera, Just Fontaine, Francisco Gento and Luis Suarez will, all for different reasons. And maybe Kurt Hamrin will, too. I can see Lorenzo Buffon getting one if he dies when his cousin Gianluigi is still a player.
