Dickie Dowsett, player for Southend, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, dead at 88 from dementia-related causes. Dave Bacuzzi, player for Arsenal, Man City and Reading, dead at 79.

Similarly I was watching the ITV programme "100 Year old Drivers" a few weeks ago. It's on YouTube here. Quite an amusing watch. It aired in 2017. I did a little Googling after, found a few obits but quite a few of the participants still seem to be around. Some are getting into oldest living Brits territory.

Way to leave us hanging CoffinLodger...

For anyone not too familiar with Faithfull, she’ll be 74 this year. She was a heroin addict, heavy drinker and didn’t quit smoking until 2014. She has suffered from anorexia, had breast cancer, hepatitis C, has had hip replacement and suffered from chronic back problems. Either “somebody up there” really likes her or they’re not keen and wish for her to stay here as long as possible...

Nothing on Tony Lloyd MP. Last update was 6 days ago which said he was still "very poorly" but responding to treatment. He was put into ICU two weeks ago now... As far as I can tell all other current British MPs who have had it have recovered – Nadine Dorries, William Wragg, Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock, Virendra Sharma, Tom Hunt, Tim Farron, Russell Lloyd Moyle, Ben Everitt, Cat Smith, Ben Wallace, Giles Watling, Brendan Clarke-Smith, Stuart Anderson, Christian Wakeford, Alister Jack, Angela Rayner and Kate Osborne. Anyone else?

Robin Hanbury-Tenison has now recovered and back in a regular ward according to today's Daily Mail. Still in hospital but will likely be discharged soon by the sounds of it.

Ernest Courant, prominent American physicist supposedly dead less than a month after celebrating his 100th birthday. Interesting background – his father was the prominent German mathematician, Richard Courant. Their family were labelled as Jews by the Nazis purely for their association with Jewish people so they fled to England. After a stint in Cambridge, they then moved permanently to NYC. Can't see anything on Twitter. My FB is playing up today, anyone able to have a dig for posts?

Martin Broadbridge, 4th Baron Broadbridge, who succeeded his first cousin in 2000, died 19th April in Cardiff at the age of 90. The new titleholder, Richard (b. 1959), is an honory surgeon to the Queen. Whatever that is. When is lockdown going to be over?

According to a post on the Peerage Google Group, the 13th Earl of Galloway possibly died back on 27th March. He would've been 91 but strange that his death would go unnoticed for a month.

How's the 'rona treating you?

Sy Rogers, Christian pastor and "ex-gay", dead at 63 from kidney cancer. Yeah... definitely "cured" himself of being gay.

Should’ve got a knighthood for that alone.

I've finished all acts under "W". Missing bio info for: The Waikikis Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band Dodie West Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs The Wurzels

I think it is harder for "certain acts" (older artists, charity singles etc.) to get to #1 now. Reason being because the chart is not just based on just physical singles and digital downloads, it also includes streaming from services like Deezer or Spotify. Younger people use them A LOT and they sure as hell are not listening to Captain Tom Moore or Vera Lynn.

Gayraud Wilmore, historian, minister and civil rights activist reportedly dead at 98.

Clive Revill turned 90 on Saturday. Provided the original voice of the Emperor in the Empire Strikes Back.

A few days late but Happy 90th birthday Chris Barber!

Thanks, added. Sadly this is why this whole thing is tedious at times. Five of them only played on that first record, then they were (for the most part) never to be heard of again. Was tempted to just leave them out as they more or less acting as session musicians but everywhere online they're credited as members of the group. *sigh* Maybe I will try and email a few ppl about this one eventually.

"K" is now complete on page one. Missing info for the following acts: Nelson Keene, Keith Kelly, Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, The Kingsmen and The Krew Kats

Doesn't surprise me. I think it's a cultural difference more than anything. Lifestyle of former footballers of "that generation" in Britain was never particularly great.

Just checked the StarTiger autograph community. People were receiving signed photos from her as recently as mid-2017. I would be surprised if she died off radar.

**On iTunes. The official chart isn't out until later. To top that would be impressive.

Saw this on FB

I don't think that's true. Here's how I understand it. ibu-profen has anti-inflammatory effects, unlike paracetamol. Any inflammation or fever would result from the body's response to the virus. The fever is your body raising your temperature to try and kill the virus. It is suggested that ibu-profen could therefore tamper with your body's response, whereas paracetamol will just mask your symptoms so you don't feel them as much.

Second paragraph says he had coronavirus.
