I said I knew I'd regret not picking him in 2020.

Feel free to steal the data of course. Top 75 might be a little harder, but if this self-isolation rolls around into September/October perhaps we'll see it.

Going to only do people who've died since their hit, rather than including posthumous hits. Will only list the date of death for the first reference, and am checking to see if the relevant musician played on the hit in question (ie, Crazy Town had a second band member who died but he left the group before "Butterfly" was recorded). Will add the songs in question to Spotify playlists as I go along.

2001 "Buck Rogers" - Feeder (Jon Lee died January 7, 2002) "Things I've Seen" - Spooks (Water Water died September 20, 2003) "The Next Episode" - Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and Nate Dogg (died March 15, 2011) "Chase the Sun" - Planet Funk (Sergio Della Monica died February 17, 2018) "Shit on You" - D12 (Proof died April 11, 2006) "Mr Writer" - Stereophonics "Butterfly" - Crazy Town (DJ AM died August 28, 2009) "Have a Nice Day" - Stereophonics "Purple Pills" - D12 "Flawless" - The Ones (Nashom Wooden died March 23, 2020) "Little L" - Jamiroquai (Toby Smith died April 11, 2017) "You Rock My World" - Michael Jackson (died June 25, 2009) "In the End" - Linkin Park (Chester Bennington died July 20, 2017) "ResuRection" - PPK (Roman Korzhov died February 2016) "Handbags and Gladrags" - Stereophonics

Strong argument for being Argentina's greatest ever goalkeeper as well. Admittedly not a massively crowded field, but still.

Damn, who will play the unloving, stern, generically Asian husband in every single American TV series/movie now?

Coitus? I think a rash of divorces in six/nine months is a lot more likely, especially if the missus keeps turning the Storage Wars repeats off so she can watch "Black-ish"

KEEP SMILING THROUGH

So he was pissed as a newt?

Yo, these niggas can't breathe when I come through Hum too, some shoes, gotta be twenty, man It's not even funny, they can't (breathe)

^^^DDP pick, although not from the Troubles theme team that used to pick her every year as they didn't enter in 2020

Former Real Madrid chairman Lorenzo Sanz allegedly in intensive care with coronavirus. He was chair from 1995 to 2000, when they won two CLs.

Listening to the Totally Football Euro podcast, Julien Laurens says Tapie now has lung cancer as well. We also missed he had skin cancer earlier in his life.

So who's left now that was credited in a Laurel and Hardy movie then? Robert Blake (The Big Noise).... anyone else?

Fun fact: there has only ever been one UK #40 single with the word "virus" in the title: Iron Maiden's 1996 single "Virus", which got to #16. Mutiny UK's " The Virus" (a kind of faux Detroit house joint) got to #42 in 2001, and Stanton Warriors (remember them?) got to #91 in 2004 with "Da Virus".

This has been in my head a lot recently:

"When I was really really young I used to get Roy Hudd and Rod Hull confused. At least one of them did something funny in their life though, even if it was while trying to fix the TV aerial for an Inter Milan Champions League clash"

He wasn't funny.

Dave Mounfield, circuit comedian and Fringe regular, dead. He was in Count Arthur Strang for people who like that (I didn't).

Going into “semi-retirement” after his latest “missing a post-Cheltenham show with a ‘bad back”” incident. Laura Woods to replace him on TalkSPORT breakfast.
