Kureishi is already talking to the Guardian, he might have lasting damage, but overall,...eh: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jan/06/hanif-kureishi-fall-rome-spinal-surgery-novelist-screenwriter

One of the currently absent US representatives, David Trone, has surgery, but it's not related to his previous cancer: https://mobile.twitter.com/sashagalbreath/status/1611427279204405249

I'm waiting for the organist with multiple organ failure...

Edwin Chiloba, LGBTQ activist from Kenya, found dead in a metal box: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-64184372

Actually, why not just raid my DDP teams: Sub 1: US drummer Teresa Taylor Sub 2: Ice hockey coach Mike Sertich Sub 3: Pool player queen Jeanette Lee

Okay, will have return from work to do that. It's three subs then I need to replace.

Mehta has quite a few concerts planned in 2023 though, I think with him it's just regular age issues. Still, conductors usually have a god complex and want to keep working until death. So planned concerts don't have to indicate anything.

Daniel Barenboim is forced to retire completely (it's regarded as breaking news!): https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/musik/daniel-barenboim-tritt-als-generalmusikdirektor-der-staatsoper-zurueck-a-f5292208-d650-4684-920a-a4cee74f225d I suspect I should have played him a little more here and there.

Are the gallbladder problems connected with the cancer? I think we don't know the kind of cancer, just that it's stage 4 with a good prognosis. Gallbladder cancer stage 4 is pretty dangerous. Bladder cancer however is survivable. I'm currently thinking it's the latter.

Congrats, Banana, jeez another one for you!

What a year, what a success, well done, Yorkshire Banker!

Too many famous chinese people have been dying recently: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/06/china-covid-wave-of-celebrity-deaths-sparks-concern-over-actual-death-toll

He's back and safe: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-01-04/rapper-theophilus-london-found-safe-reported-missing-los-angeles

Musician Fiona Kitschin of Tropical Fuck Storm has been diagnosed with stage III breast cancer: https://www.clashmusic.com/news/tropical-fuck-storm-cancel-shows-following-fiona-kitschin-cancer-diagnosis/

Well done, daredevil! Congratulations!

Oh, that's shocking. I do recall some breast cancer rumours, but didn't think much of it.

BBC weatherman Graham Parker has died at 90: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-64162873 Is Shafferknackered back in the DDP?

Did we all look at OoO's info for the F1 drivers? I went through the thread and had never seen such carnage anywhere else.

Not my categories at ALL. But three uniques in the Time 100 category (plus Vince Clarke). These three uniques are actually pretty good. It's the only category I can get an advantage, I think. Still, some expert must surely be pulling ahead with the Coronation Street actors.

Damn, you're right. Guess I really want him dead? Well, then it's 16 hits. I'll edit my team.

Gay porn actor Shawn Wolfe dead of, of course, drug overdose, at 35: https://www.queerty.com/gay-adult-film-performer-shawn-paul-bertrand-jr-k-shawn-wolfe-dead-35-20230103

Here's a "real" english obit: https://euroweeklynews.com/2023/01/03/sevillian-social-media-influencer-elena-huelva-loses-her-battle-with-cancer-aged-only-20/

This is an auto-generated obit though. Surely something "real" will appear (or already has). Edit: I DO like that the word influencer is in quotation marks though.

Elena Huelva would be a hit for Banana and me, once an english obit appears.

Oh, this will be *fun*.
