Lady C reporting that WWIII has begun.

Maybe Lady Cecilia Bartholomew knows from her inner circles?

Check page 94.

Paul Tesluk of Johnny and the Hurricanes died on August 20, aged 82. Legacy obit. Not quite sure how the media have missed this though. That's a fairly big rock n roll death. Just one left from the charting act now.

A 38(!) year old cat? There’s NO WAY he didn’t switch in a replacement at some point!

I actually had a search online the other day to get to the bottom of this. Didn’t find anything unfortunately. To be fair, I didn’t check searchpeoplefree or MyLife. I’m out this evening so maybe someone else can have a look.

Guessing you won't be donating to her big memorial money pot then?

True, though Singh has been on our radars for well over a decade now. The others cropped up on here much later. I thought he would've died in the 2000s to be honest, then we learnt of his real age!

But Fraudster Singh still lives! How does that make you feel?

Virginia McLyin' (wiki) dead at "113" (105). EDIT: A DDP pick for 3 teams. Should get a QO given that she danced with Barack and Michelle.

Updated The Flee-Rekkers. Lead guitarist Dave "Tex" Cameron died in July as per The Joe Meek Society here.

The Joe Meek Society yesterday reported the death of Alan Dean, who died back in August aged 80. Frontman of Alan Dean and his Problems. Released singles in the mid-1960s through Decca and Pye. Failed to chart. Edit: I see the page also reported that Bobby Rio, frontman of Bobby Rio and the Revelles, died on 6 September. Three singles released through Pye Records in 1965. None charted. 2nd edit: Charles Ward of The Thunderbolts died in July as per this local obit. One single in 1963, which also failed to chart. 3rd edit: Gerry Temple (real name Keith De Groot) died back in March as per this. Singles released 1961–1969. None charted.

Lol, well tbf most commentators were saying the same thing on that one, and neither party did particularly well. Most commentators don't say "she's got a bit of a limp, must be the ole pancreatic cancer again". Don't compare me to his level of conspiracy theories!

Updated The Rockin' Berries for the death of Clive Lea.

Interestingly, the Chief Medical Examiner from the case, Thomas Noguchi, is still alive and turns 96 in January. He was a wiki page. Could get a QO given the prominence of the case and his input.

** Paul Schrade Sorry, not being a spelling Nazi. Just making it searchable.

Updated The Sorrows for the deaths of Bruce Finlay (2022) and Phil Packham (2018), both announced via their official FB page. The page confirms that the other three are still alive.

Danny Storm died back in May after a long battle with dementia as per this. Will have to wait until the GRO is updated next year to get his real year of birth. For some reason he doesn't appear in FreeBMD. Maybe he was born abroad?

The names Bob Hope, George Burns and Kirk Douglas don't mean much to most British alive today. At a push, maybe Douglas does more than the former two – purely because of his lead role in Spartacus. Name drop Hope or Burns to most folk under 40 they'll just shrug. Dame Vera Lynn and Captain Tom Moore are household names here and they have that name drop recognition across all age groups. Dame Olivia de Havilland also carries more fame than Burns, Hope and Douglas because Gone with the Wind is on the curriculum in most schools here. More ppl have seen Gone with the Wind because of its historical significance than Spartacus. Fame is entirely subjective but I think you're looking at this through a US-centric and perhaps generationally skewed lens.

Currently updating the 1960s on page one. Discovered a few new deaths already and I've only covered T-Z so far: *"Captain" Cephas Howard of The Temperance Seven died in France in September 2021, aged 86. *Mark Prince of The Velvets died in November 2021, aged 79. Meaning that Thursby is the sole surviving member (he attended an event in June). *Obscure Grammy-nominated arranger Richard Wolfe died in February 2019, aged 91. The Temperance Seven Wiki UK jazz ensemble founded in Christmas 1955 by students at the Chelsea School of Art, known for their surreal performances and their distinctive sound of 1920s style jazz music, produced by George Martin Clifford Bevan 25 Jan 1934 – Living "Canon" Colin Bowles n/a – pre-1995 Mention of death Alan Swainston Cooper 15 Feb 1931 – 22 Aug 2007 (76) Guardian obit John R. T. Davies (aka Sheik Haroun) 20 Mar 1927 – 25 May 2004 (77) Guardian obit Martin Fry (aka Franklin Paverty) 1937 – 04 Dec 2018 (~81) Mention of death John Gieves-Watson Jun 1937 – Living Philip "Fingers" Harrison no info available "Captain" Cephas Howard Oct 1934 – 26 Sep 2021 (86) Local obit Brian Innes "Professor Emeritus" 04 May 1928 – 14 Jul 2014 (86) Guardian obit "Whispering" Paul McDowell 15 Aug 1931 – 02 May 2016 (84) Guardian obit 30/03/1961 You're Driving Me Crazy #1 Released as The Temperance Seven, Vocal Refrain by Mr. Paul McDowell 16/06/1961 Pasadena #4 28/09/1961 Hard Hearted Hannah / Chili Bom Bom #28 07/12/1961 Charleston #22 NB: There were nine members in the lineup in 1961. Rate Your Music has a personnel list for their 1961 album, which includes Pasadena, Hard Hearted Hannah and Chili Bom Bom as tracks. They include "Canon" Colin Bowles as a pianist for this. The National Portrait Gallery lists the credits for Charleston, with a lineup that matches except the addition of tuba player Clifford Bevan and minus Bowles on piano. NB2: As far as I can see Bevan, Howard and Gieves-Watson are all still alive. This is useful. Unsure about the rest. This obit for a Colin Bowles in 2019 was featured in the same paper that regularly gives press coverage to the band. Could it be him? NB3: Found a newspaper clipping from 2001 that refers to Bowles as "the late", and a book that said he was dead before 1995. Good enough for me! The Velvets Wiki American doo-wop group from Odessa, Texas, formed in 1959 by high school teacher Virgil Johnson and four of his students, Roy Orbison discovered the group in 1960 and signed them to Monument Records, Rigsby was killed when the furniture truck he was driving swerved off the road – it is believed he may have fallen asleep at the wheel Virgil Johnson 29 Dec 1935 – 24 Feb 2013 (77) Mention of death Mark Prince 26 Sep 1942 – 11 Nov 2021 (79) Obit Clarence Rigsby 08 Jan 1940 – 31 Jan 1974 (34) Mention of death Will Solomon 14 Jul 1941 – 25 May 2006 (64) Mention of death Bob Thursby 11 Dec 1941 – Living 11/05/1961 That Lucky Old Sun #46 17/08/1961 Tonight (Could be the Night) #50 NB: Robert Earl Thursby attended a commemorative event in June 2022.
