Bang goes that theory then...

*muses on his pipe* If it's a "sports" tycoon, the clue might be that the word Sport is prominent in his business. Now, I don't read the Sun so I'm only going on what LFN has said, so there maybe more clues but I'm guessing that the said tycoon also owns a football club. Now, as for the pop star. Thinking aloud, I'm going to assume that the pop star has an interest in common with the tycoon, otherwise they wouldn't meet. Therefore, she must be prominent supporter of the football club that the tycoon owns. So tycoon, who probably has sports as a prominent title in one of his businesses and the pop star who publicly supports the team he owns. Go figure...

I remember that video for Reet Petite looking incredible at the time. Now there are cave paintings that look more sophisticated...

Hmmm, tricky one this... I mean, she's effectively dead, only kept going for the sake of the unborn child. Does raise questions about what is considered dead and not dead either in the eyes of the law or physically...

I could have sworn he was born in 1942 or something!

Are you planning to win DDP by midsummer?

Christopher Ryan (Mike Thecoolperson) is probably the most vulnerable as he's the oldest by a distance and in his 70s. Mind you, has Rik Mayall ever fully recovered from that quad bike accident? Hopefully they'll all stick around. Mel Smith's death would have been a warning to those of the alternative comedy generation...

Has she finally gone? About effing time...

She'll want Victoria's record first I reckon... I think it's due in September 2015.

He was a conductor. He succeeded Andre Previn as lead conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra.

Absolutely. Happy Birthday, Tom!

Hmmm..not sure. I've have to really delve through the old records. Good pick by the way, Spade. Abbado was one of those which may slip under the radar as he has been ill for some time... Wasn't even on my radar until Christmas, my freshie cousin had bought a copy of "La Stampa" on a trip to Bedford to buy proper Italian bread and it mentioned that Claudio hadn't been seen in public for a while in the arts section. Deadpooling encourages language skills. That sounds impossibly middle class from a certain angle, but knowing your background, I can understand...

It's probably the news...

Costume designer Ken Trew, who designed Roger Delgado's Master outfit and Sylvester McCoy's costume amongst others, has died aged 77. The biggest surprise for me was that he had a wife!

Yes it counts. An odd way to get an obit but there you have it. 22 hits in 17 days. Good chance that the monthly record of 25 hits will be broken...

Trickier obit chances I reckon...

I'll raise you Jon Snow. He's looked poorly for a while now...

Well India is ahead of us, so it's more likely to be a death on the 17th than the 16th. Times of India says Friday morning, so that makes it the 17th... Still, 5 hits in one day is quite something!

Death List. The site you are on...

Duccini, Johnson & Madden all require obits so keep them peeled... EDIT: Nae bother as the Daily Mail's ruthless pursuit of the American dollar ensures obits for all three! With Steve Evans, this makes today the most prolific day since 2nd January 2011 with FOUR hits...

I'm wondering whether DLT copped a feel of Aung San Suu Kyi when he had the chance...

Fawlty Towers (1975). Cleese, Booth, Scales & Sachs are all still with us. Of course the second stratum (Ballard Berkley etc) are rather more depleted...

The man seems to be a living McGill postcard...

The Grim Reaper is doing his damned best in that regard. Must be a true fan...
