Vinegar Tits

According to someone on Twitter purporting to be his son, Christopher Beeny died on 3 January.

Prozac Nation is quite possibly the most insufferable book I've ever read. Still, sad news. Didn't know she was ill.

A list jam packed full of youngsters. I think it's the oldest Deathlist I can remember.

One of the few You Tubers I actually have heard of. His online life is so much full of set-up bull that I honestly don't know what to believe. Obviously a full-on narcissist, like so many You Tubers are, so wouldn't put it past him to stream his suicide live.

Rubbish. I just think Madonna still believes her body is capable of recovering as well and as quickly as it did 20-30 years ago. *Unless* she's on fentanyl, which I very much doubt if only because of the amount of stars who have died from it recently. Plus she seems devoted to her kids - there's no way she'd do anything to deprive them of a mother, remember her childhood. And Madame X is a great album - first album since Confessions... that she's sounded like she's making music she wants to rather than following the trends and using the same old current producers as everyone else. So no, I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with her. And I also don't think she's had butt implants - looks like padding to me.

While I do think there may be an element of 'before it's too late', Livvy, sorry, Dame Livvy's gong is thoroughly deserved as she's done shedloads for cancer awareness and charity in Australia and around the world.

Madge has got a gammy knee - she's hardly at death's door, nor does she seem to be hitting the fentanyl.

Not as old as I thought he was - born 1938. Rather sobering to think that at the height of the miners' strike he was the same age as I am now. He looked a lot older. No idea of health. Don't really care either, to be honest.

Really sad news, despite living to a grand age. I'm a week younger than Emmerdale (Farm) and from Yorkshire so it was obviously a huge part of television when growing up. She'd left the show by the time I worked there, and it was Frazer Hines who usually opened the Busbys/Sunwin House grotto, so I never met her, As far as DDP is concerned, it means everyone from my main 2008 and 2013 lists are now dead.

A couple of suggestions simply because they're getting on a bit; no idea about their current health status: Nick Bolletierri - US tennis coach supremo, 89 next year. Maria Charles - actress. Played Maureen Lipman's mum in Agony. Extensive stage career. 91 next year. Brian Glanville - football writer and miserable, short-tempered rude git (yes, I worked with him numerous times. Was always grumpy and rude). 89 in 2020. Doreen Mantle - Mrs Warboys. 94 in 2020. I do have another name but I'm not telling. A singer, that's all you're getting. No idea of their health but they're old and goodness only knows how they've made it this far. Anyway, on a wider note, this coming decade is going to make 2016 look like a picnic. So many heroes are getting seriously *old*. Macca will be 87 come 2029, Debbie Harry 84, most of Abba around the same age, Grace Slick 90, Judi Dench and Maggie Smith 95,; the greats will be dropping like flies.

My sister saw Roxette on the last tour they did in Australia a few years back. She said Marie was in great voice but was *incredibly* frail, needing help getting on and off stage, and also had (known) memory problems - as well as the brain tumour/cancer affecting her sight and hearing, she was also unable to read afterwards so a teleprompter couldn't be used. Still a fantastic gig though, and there was a lot of love for Marie for being such a trouper in spite of her obvious fragile health.

Not unexpected but very sad news. Great singer, and Roxette were surprisingly excellent live. A big loss. RIP Marie.

Roger Scruton looking dreadful recently. And there's far worse photos on Twitter - very frail, definitely dying. A cert for 2020 if he lasts so long.

Sad news, he was great. Mind you, to say he'd been very ill for years and with a dire early prognosis, he had a good innings. RIP.

Ooh, I've met Frankie Banali - when he was playing with W.A.S.P. on 'The Headless Children' tour. He seemed a good guy. Mind you, so did Chris Holmes... Sure I've got a picture of him - I'll try and dig it out. Looks skinny and jaundiced on that picture above - touch and go whether he'll see 2020 I'd say.
