Can't for the life of me find the original post mentioning him but anyway... Joseph Zhu Baoyu, the Chinese Catholic bishop who survived COVID-19 in February, has died aged 98.

Exactly how it looks on paper I believe. From Wiki: "The name of the band was derived from Fagenson's then-infant son Tony, who was just beginning to talk and enjoyed contradicting words such as "Blue" with "Not Blue". " You'd have thought they'd have tried to come up with a more exciting story in the meantime...

Two long-term residents of the living centenarians list on Wikipedia who died a few months back off our radar: Leonidas Veliaroutis, Greek writer, died on 17th March aged 103. James George, Canadian diplomat, died on 7th February aged 101.

Cross posting here for completeness: Florian Schneider, founding member of Kraftwerk, has died aged 73. To my knowledge appeared on every UK hit single – they had 15 between 1975 and 2007, and yet The Model / Computer Love (#1 in 1981) was their only top 10 hit despite their wider popularity. --------------------------------------------------------- Sweet Pea Atkinson, one of the vocalists for Was (Not Was), has died aged 74. They had 11 UK hit singles between 1984 and 1992. Shake You Head was their biggest hit. It reached #4 in 1992. Bizarrely the track features uncredited vocals from Ozzy Osbourne and Kim Basinger! Walk the Dinosaur was their other top 10 hit (#10 in 1987). The song featured on the soundtracks for Super Mario Bros. (1993) and The Flintstones (1994).

Cruising for a ban, is you?

A few days late but Jane Morgan turned 96 on May 3rd. Scored a UK #1 in 1958. Here she is unveiling her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011. Looks great... but that was 9 years ago, and little has been heard from her since.

Several blogs. Hadoke is a leading authority on Doctor Who actors and team members though so undoubtedly true.

Cross posting news of Dave Greenfield's death here. The Stranglers had an incredible **37** chart hits between 1977 and 2006. Unless I am mistaken, Greenfield played on every one of them. Sadly, they never achieved a chart topper, with their closest being a #2 in 1982 with Golden Brown.
