Peppino Gagliardi, Neapolitan/pop crossover artist of the 60s and 70s, two-time San Remo runner-up and a regular fixture on the soundtracks of American films set in Italy, dead at 83. Cited by Benny Andersson as a key influence on early ABBA.

The man knew his way around a zinger though:

2018 meme Lil Tay, aka "the internet's youngest flexer", has been announced as dead (along with her brother) on her official Instagram page. Feels a bit like a hoax/prank to me, but the mainstream media is already writing about it so....

Fully support the millennial takeover of this site, gonna set up a "Who's Dying First: Eamon or Frankee?" poll.

In the same year at school as Roy Hodgson (John Ruskin Grammar), fact fans.

Longest-serving Japanese PM in history, already stepped down from the role once in 2007 due to chronic ulcerative colitis, has recently visited hospital twice in the space of a few days - sparking concern about his health across Glorious Nippon. He's refused to reveal what the purpose of the visits was, and chronic ulcerative colitis is a risk factor for colon cancer.

Long-time commissioner of Major League Eating (including during the controversial Kobayashi/Chestnut feud years) Charles Hardy has died of cancer aged 57. A former competitive eater himself, at his death he still held the world record for cabbage (6 pounds and 9 ounces in 9 minutes).

Vince McMahon has been on "medical leave" from all responsibilities since July 21st, according to the WWE's Q2 earnings report. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact he was subpoenaed four days earlier and had his offices searched by federal law enforcers.

And that, I would say, is a wrap.

Paul Reubens, Fred Willard, Gerald Sinstadt - the past few years have been pretty hard on those who enjoy a leisurely chug at the flicks.

Just started listening to the new series of Ed Reardon's Week and I notice Stephanie Cole hasn't returned for it...

Not often you'd get the chance to pick someone talking about their pediatric cancer on Children In Need, especially when they did so 16 years ago, but Reebeka Climson has graduated from that 2007 appearance and now faces prison for shouting "fuck the pope" at an Orange march.

Almost certain thread addition within the next 15 years, "personal issues" Dutch footballer (and alleged domestic abuser/enemy of the Utrecht underworld) Mohamed Ihattaren has had his Juventus contract terminated.

Absolutely terrible rapper back in his YouTube freestyle days, at least he found a career he was eventually suited to.

Rumours on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, that Chris Bart-Williams has followed Trevor in the cull of Forest players. Mark Crossley probably the biggest name tweeting about it.

The one with the long hair that looked a bit like a caveman from 3OH!3

Duane Davis has been picked on the DDP before iirc, due to him saying he was "dying of cancer" in 2018.
