At the moment I can only listen to Olivia, also the really bad trash from the 90s and 00s, I don't care

@Death Impends Thank you for a really great obituary for Olivia Newton-John, very dignified and kind of heartbreaking too. Reading the obituary while listening to her music gave me goosebumps as I am still a little saddened by her death. You hit the right words.

And the next hit for the Italian DL, which surpasses its entire previous year's result http://dpseggi.altervista.org/DeathList/X2022.html

A welcome hit for me thanks to Rolf Eden. https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/leute/rolf-eden-ist-tot-a-708d32b4-be7f-4f0d-86b5-1c15af5a8bf5

3 hits in 2 weeks, not bad Margot Eskens, Olivia Newton-John and Rolf Eden

Go tell the 7 centenarians on the list!!!

3 hits in 3 weeks - good average! It can go on like this! He is also on my German theme team but I doubt that he will get a qo.

Yes, August has been very productive so far

Tippi Hedren for me.

To cross her off every list and every game is really bringing me down

Saddest hit ever: Olivia Newton-John https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-62472100

Dear Olivia, I have always defended Xanadu for you! Much love!

Is this a hoax??? OMG, it's on her homepage!

Congratulations to gcreptile! Another victory!

Ooooh, I think their careers are worlds apart...

Yes, she is on my theme team but I doubt that she will get a qo, like always.

So now we really do have our fourth hit, and it's a sad one: Schlager singer Margot Eskens has died two weeks shy of her 86th birthday. Cause of death: severe dementia. https://esc-kompakt.de/schlager-und-esc-ikone-margot-eskens-ist-tot/ In 1956 and 1957 respectively she had two big No.1 hits in the German charts with "Tiritomba" and "Cindy oh Cindy". She also represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1966 and finished 10th place.

Wishful thinking

Now it is reported, that Trude Unruh already died in November 2021! WTF! Why wasn't this reported? https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/trude-unruh-gestorben-100.html So one more hit for the D-A-CH-List 2021, one less for this year's list

Hopefully the list will keep up its hit frequency now...

Congratulations to Joey; winning the Cup is really an achievement! And congrats to gcreptile, too. 2nd place in the Cup is also very very good!
