RIP I guess. I didn't know him either, but I applauded the committee for its choice. Now I wonder if those music journalists describing The Fall's final concert had some VERY rose-tinted glasses on.

Bob Dole

Only dangerous when taken literally...

Ooh, ...huge... and sad.

I had such a strong gut feeling (about as much as with Genesis P-Orridge), but my brain rejected him. Well done, YoungWillz, classy pick.

Ahem, team submission deadline is over?

Also Mick Jagger's slave girl fantasy "Brown Sugar".

Probably half the discography of The Scorpions.

Ah, Cpt. Chorizo's annual cancer mum is Julie Shaw this time. Would have been on Shameless 3.0. In my calculations I had Noel Conway, paradoxically both with a low chance of being a unique hit, and a low chance of making the Drop 40. A bit silly.... My expected scores are now above 160 for the top. I think new score records are up this year.

Jean-Paul Sartre just couldn't satisfy Simone De Beauvoir so she entered an existential crisis and fell in love with Claude Lanzmann, who was 18 years younger than her and is still alive at 92: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jan/22/simone-de-beauvoirs-mad-passion-for-young-lover-revealed-in-letters As director of the Holocaust documentary Shoah a nailed-on obit.

"Leanne Little" is most likely Jeanne Little.

Yes, The Sun is becoming Wrestling Central.

Banana's Peel Slippers is another forum reader, maybe one of the disappeared? (other comments will be edited into this post). Diana Rots now reborn as Nicked, but not dead. Well, glad to see people picking Andrew Fairlie. A classy pick. Need to check on People who I think might die in 2018 united. Also Sovereign Reaper, Dead Ends, Dead Wait, Bucket of Blood. Wormer! Marmalard, etc..., ZsaZsa etc...

Two brave souls picked Spanky Manikan.

Cancer mum Melanie Coombs dies from pneunomia. The Mirror quotes her son: "She said she wouldn't die from cancer, and she was right!" https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/brave-mum-who-beat-terminal-11816512

@Death Impends: This one and the one before that.

I was just waiting for an opportunity to drop that line...

Which forum reader is "20 hits - no problem"? :). He/She read one of my posts.

About Zeffirelli, yes, that's gut feeling- and how he looks.

I wonder if I should propose a birthday death for her - but that wouldn't even change all that much because most have picked her as joker anyway.

Glad I was not the only one.

I had expected Miller in the Top Ten, but it looks as if the share of US deadpoolers has increased.

"SPAM Nation" sounds like a proper title for a novel about the Millenial Generation.
