Poor guy, feel really bad for him. Opioid addiction at 21? Just how?

Obituary courtesy of The Times.

Hmmm... he was quite notable in his own right.

Could also go in the Dying Bigots thread... Hutton Gibson, father of Mel Gibson and all round nasty piece of work dead at 101 according to this thread.

He is indeed. 89 this year.

92 today!

Jeremy Paxman turned 70 yesterday. Honestly never imagined he was that old.

87 yesterday. Farrakhan is another up there on my “How are they still alive?” list. Unless I’m imagining it, he at one point had serious health problems?

Valentino turned 88 yesterday.

Death notice for 1930s child actor Martin Spellman who has died aged 94. Career was finished by 1941, at which point the U.S. was entering WWII and he enlisted to serve. Later worked in finance and insurance... well everyone sells their soul eventually.

Had symptoms of coronavirus. Refused to go to hospital saying that he had “no plans of dying in a hospital” and hoped it was just bad hayfever. Symptoms got worse and died in the hospital anyway. Darwin Award.

Barbara Taylor Bradford is 87 today.

James L. Brooks turned 80 yesterday.

Sonny Curtis turned 83 yesterday

Happy 84th Birthday to Fag Ash Glenda for yesterday.

Happy 86th Birthday for yesterday.

Crossposting. American soul and R&B singer Betty Wright dead at 66. Metro obit. Four charting singles in the UK between 1975 and 1989. This is turning into a brutal year for the UK charts.

Rolling Stone have update their article to say he died from cancer. People are saying it was bone cancer.

The Everly Brothers had a hit with a cover of Lucille...

Little Richard's entry updated.

Notably two charting members of Bill Haley and his Comets are still alive and a few of The Crickets.

Good Golly Miss Molly. I turn my phone off for an hour and this happens. To be fair, I’m surprised he lived this long giving his decades of health problems. RIP. EDIT: Should point out that of the inaugural inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, only Jerry Lee Lewis and Don Everly of The Everly Brothers are still alive.

Doreen de Veuve, found her marriage record. Her husband is famous businessman and thoroughbred owner Michael Tabor. She's born in April 1941 as per Company Check, and that's good enough for me. Pam "Zooey" Quinn... Rate Your Music says real name is Pamela Houghton. There are a few Tampa residents on Ancestry which could be her, here are two of the more likely: Pamela H Houghton b. 28/4/1947 (would mean the info about her being the youngest in the link above would have to be wrong)... it says she has a PO Box address though... hmmm Pamela M Quinn b. 15/12/1953 (would've made her 15 when she was on that track, not impossible but also means she would have had to legally change her name to Quinn at some point). Anyway, nothing substantial but worth noting incase anything else comes to light in the meantime.

And another almost immediately takes her place. Helen Nicol turns 100 today. Here is a post about her 99th birthday last year.

This guy? LOL. Okay, and I'm the tooth fairy.
