Heh, okay, well, sometimes names are so obscure, I don't even realize their death myself. Leila Meacham, dead on Sept 26th, a pick for me: https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/San-Antonio-novelist-Leila-Meacham-dies-at-age-83-16479602.php

Schumi's doctor, Johannes Peil, dead of cancer at 67: https://www.bild.de/regional/frankfurt/frankfurt-aktuell/johannes-peil-hatte-krebs-ex-schumi-arzt-tot-77817754.bild.html

A "vestibular schwannoma"... never heard of that before.

He walked a good way towards the Drop 40 this year already, but people correctly prefered to pick Gerd Müller a little more. I didn't foresee that and chose Müller to only be my first sub - but kudos to these players. Still, in terms of popular dementia people, Charlton now moves towards the top spot, or at least very close to that.

Could be a thread by itself.... ... Gary Barlow (Take That) Noel Gallagher (Oasis, but apparently not until 2005!) Cathy Dennis (Kylie Minogue & S Club 7 - 2001) Edit: Just had a look at the pure numbers... you know, since about 2010, apparently every song has had at least 10 songwriters, which is why people like David Guetta might technically count - but, in my opinion, shouldn't really. Eminem in 2002 should count though.

Actually not, the 2nd no.1 hit in 1987 was the Elvis Presley cover. West End Girls and Heart were 1985 and 1988.

US TV actress Jean Hale, dead at 82, already since 3rd of August. https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1497684/Jean-Hale-dead-death-Batman-In-Like-Flint-actress-cause-health-age-latest-news-update Apparently a bit-actress in the 60s whenever you needed a blonde bombshell in a TV series, the obit features her Batman appearances strongly. But there were only two.

Ah, simultaneous posting. I didn't know they had a thread though.

Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner has been hospitalized for a "major heart condition". Tour postponed: https://loudwire.com/judas-priest-us-tour-postponed-richie-faulkner-hospitalized-heart-condition/

So... George "Dubya" Bush Jr. does not have a thread? Anyway, just noticed that he has aged a bit now, and kind of sounds and looks like he had a mild stroke? It's this video from a few months ago: https://m.dw.com/en/george-w-bush-merkel-brought-class-and-dignity/av-58252625

Charles Sims Africa, last one of the MOVE 9 to be freed from prison, dead of cancer at 61: https://news.yahoo.com/charles-sims-africa-last-move-165524769.html Activist? Terrorist? Maybe both. Last year, we noticed fellow MOVEr Delbert Africa's death.

Again rumours about Bernard Tapie' s health after his son cryptically posted on Instagram to "enjoy your time with someone before it's too late."

Gary Burgess accepts the "Pride of Jersey" award... his walk is somewhat unstable, he speaks through swollen cheeks:

Well, not TV but cinema, the new Dune movie.... I guess David Lynch got through the plot in half the time? The new movie looks great, and is more about floating in that world. But like Blade Runner 2049 by the same director, kind of half an hour too long. I'm not sure if I should give 7/10 or 8/10.

Piles of beefy, sweaty men chasing balls?

Well, the missing link here is, of course, Hank Scorpio:

Was it "exactly" a year, i.e. the one-year-contract was over? How unfortunate that the relationship didn't see the movie release and can't assist in the marketing. Will Tom now have to "date" a woman closer to his own age?

Well, and who TF is Mollie Sugden?

Ryder Cup "legend" Tony Jacklin has been living with incurable cancer for 7 years, currently in remission: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10012255/Ryder-Cup-hero-Tony-Jacklin-suffering-cancer-seven-years.html

On a bike: https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/pele-fussball-legende-gruesst-radelnd-aus-krankenhaus-a-dfa2b334-bdba-4789-a6ec-af7b408af670 So we have now come to the point, where every Pelé Instagram post is a headline somewhere.

Notable participant in their shenanigans, Patty "Goddess" Perez, has died at 57 due to complications of diabetes: https://www.nme.com/news/tv/jackass-star-patty-perez-dies-aged-57-3051245

Fucking stick legs???

Pulling it over from the deadpooling section, noted African-American historian Albert Raboteau, dead at 78: https://religion.princeton.edu/news/in-memoriam-professor-albert-j-raboteau-1943-2021/

Madison Cawthorne, the young Republican congressman of Generation Trump in a wheelchair, has been battling significant health issues lately: https://eu.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2021/09/18/rep-madison-cawthorn-tweeted-battling-significant-medical-problems/8399156002/ It's not Covid, but directly related to the accident that put him in a wheelchair.
