Somewhere between 'not exactly famous' and 'near miss' depending on if you're a Eurovision fan, 70s Europop fan or just watch too much German telly (or all three like me) but Steve Bender of Siegel/Meinunger-created German pop act Dschinghis Khan died earlier this month from cancer aged 63

I don't find that funny
-
Has she ever not been a dizzy and doddery old bird? After all, 'Foxy''s girlfriend's mum and Nana Moon were pretty much the same character. You do know she was in Robin's Nest and Man About The House too... Just thought I'd throw that in.
-
Talking about Dutch celebs how's Teddy Scholten these days? She must be about 80 now. Not sure they'd get a UK obit, though she might do as she pipped Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson to the post and won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1959 (still one of the UK's most famous entries even after 47 years!)

Must we talk about football after yesterday's depressing result?
-
A certain X Factor contestant who used to sing with a certain Madchester band apparently gave great blow jobs and always with her teeth out. But I fear we're straying off the subject somewhat now...
-
Suharto, because he's not on my DDP list
-
She wasn't that Eastman.
-
Definitely unexpected, a bit like when John McGeoch died (wasn't that in his sleep too?) I wonder what the cause was, or whether it was just natural causes?
-
"Since" speaking out against the Iraq war? I'd have thought both Susan and Tim would have had death threats from radical right-wing nuts for a good 15 years now. I suppose there is the 'against war=against our boys' mindset as a factor but all the same, they've spoken out against so much the US government does that I can't imagine the level of threats being that much increased. What programme was this interview on btw? Huge fan of Susan Sarandon here She's wonderful.
-
Anyone want a guess on how long it is before he gets arrested again whilst on bail? I give him three days.
-
She might already be dead for all I know (can't find anything to say so however) but how about off-school-ill-kids-hero-and-all-round-cutlery-abuser daytime telly painter Nancy Kominsky? Born 1915 so she's knocking on a bit to put it mildly. A bit obscure admittedly but is possibly retro enough to get a mention somewhere.
-
I can't think too many people would be upset if anything happened to him, the horrible little runt. I'm *so* glad Leeds were 'unlucky' in their bid for him. If the Colombians don't get him first I'm sure a few criminal types in Newcastle would like to (remember all the drug/gun running stories during his time at St James' Park, not to mention stories of items being nicked from fellow players' pockets in the dressing room)...
-
While I wish deathlist.net much luck, I personally hope not as my DDP partner-in-death will give me a right rollocking for vetoing putting Liz on our list. Aren't we all though? To be honest, I'll believe it when I see the coffin. Just how many times can the woman circle the drain?
-
Certainly Permanent Vacation and Pump were. Then they started putting too many cheesy MTV-friendly power ballads on their albums for my liking. Talking of Aerosmith, any news on how Steven Tyler's doing after his recent throat op? As for old pop stars past their best, I'd argue the case for David Bowie, Joni Mitchell and Elton John. While neither's recent work is for the most part essential, some of it is cracking.
-
That's just wrong.
-
That well-known bastion of accuracy Popbitch is also reporting his demise. However, it's quite possible that whoever posted the 'news' originally read it on here... Until it's on t'Beeb website I ain't believing it
-
Could do with being blonder and more tustled (I'm thinking that short wig she wore when going out with Michael Hutchence) but yes, she does look... elfin is the word. Bravo the Brave Kylie!
-
Cause now confirmed - Something did get a hold of his heart
-
Isn't that 'Jack's Creation'?

What Are You Doing For Easter
Vinegar Tits replied to scsibear's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I don't 'do' Easter but am going up to Scotland in the hope of catching bird flu so I can take more time off work ill for a holiday. -
I used to quite fancy Barry Evans when I was a kid. I remember when he died my university were doing a community radio thing and I had to do the obit as everyone else was a bit young to remember 'Mind Your Language'. Very odd circumstances surrounding his death; I guess what with the coroner giving an open verdict we'll never truly know what happened or why. If anyone has that Daily Mail article re Evans' bisexuality/crush on Lionel Blair I wouldn't mind a butchers at it as I don't think I saw it at the time.
-
Slight update gleaned from elsewhere. Our blessed Dickie attended a Brinsworth House fundraiser in London recently. In fine fettle apparently, though has short-term memory problems (then again, don't we all... or maybe that's just me) and was walking with a stick. Looks a bit old for his age but otherwise fine.
-
It's all a bit complicated. There is some debate over whether "permanently incapacited" is brain death or when the heart stops beating. Or both. Or neither.
-
Can't find a proper obit yet (though I'm sure there will be some in time) but Martin Gilks, drummer from the Wonder Stuff, has died. Road accident apparently. Very sad news
