    Will no longer perform live as his "brain works differently" with Parkinson's.

    Italian writer/artist/not-really-famous-person and Russell Brand's "best friend", apparently, Martino Sclavi has died. DDP pick.

    The 2020 Deathlist Cup

    So Asa Ellison has died, but Hawaii News Now, instead of writing a new article, have just updated their previous one. You can see because the URL is still "has his final wish" rather than "is dead".

    5. Pope Francis

    Specifically asks to be included in your prayers. I checked and he's never used a "remember me" or "include me" in his tweets before...

    The 2020 Deathlist Cup

    Could be shades of Italy 2010 about my team this time out, the defending champions getting turned over without ease in the opener. Quite happy that my Mohamed Hussein Tantawi pick turned out to be unique: he'll get a proper DDP-worthy QO no problem (head of the Egyptian military under Mubarak, the man who oversaw the Port Said Massacre).

    Andy Fordham Memorial Darts Thread

    Talk on Twitter that Ceri Morgan has died aged 72. Had his best days before the TV darts boom of the 1980s, but was a consensus top 10 player of the late 70s. Made the World Cup final in 1979 and the semis of the 1982 Masters.

    Internet Celebrities

    Two (or three, depending if you read the headline or the article) dead after the husband of a Russian Instagram influencer dumps dry ice into a swimming pool during her 29th birthday party in order to create a "stunning visual effect".

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2021

    There's a brief mention of much-loved bullshitter and former DDP prospect Dr Nakamats in last month's Fortean Times. Nothing about his health, just the religious/political movement he's a member of. This is their platform, and tbh I think it's the one for me:

    Your Personal Survivors

    Eight years and counting for Andrew Walker who was released from the clink in late 2011 because he had just a few months to live.

    Time Added

    Happy 52nd birthday to Kazuyoshi Miura, who is still playing professional football in the Japanese second tier. He is the only surviving player who was featured on Fifa 96 - which was released WHEN HE WAS 29. He made his professional football debut when Rudolf Hess and Rita Hayworth were still alive.

    Tom Smith

    Because he has a shit tonne of cancer and the last interview he gave in 2019 sounded like a man who'd died two months ago and nobody remembered to tell him.

    Coronavirus death toll 2020

    Suspected COVID-19 case literally five minutes away from my office. If it is in Canary Wharf, an area where 180,000 people work every day in something less than half a square mile and then go home to commuter belt towns at the end of the day, that's basically the south of England fucked.
