1 hour ago, Thatcher said:Del Palmer, English singer/songwriter who collaborated extensively with Kate Bush with whom he had a relationship between the 70s and 90s, reportedly dead aged 71.
Really sad news. Incredible bassist, and obviously there's the Kate Bush connection too; hopefully it won't scupper any future work as she's worked so close with him for years, plus John Giblin died last year too - not a good year for bassists.

Ken bloody bastard Bates
Been on my person DDP team since the beginning. I think I've granted him eternal life. Bah.

Any reason why Catherine Deneuve's name isn't on that list? They're close and she's been very supportive of him in the past.

Probably deserves to be in the tennis thread tbh. One of Denmark's most famous tennis players and a prominent tour player back in the day.

Sad news. Yes, about to namedrop yet again but I did used to work at Emmerdale *clang* so... met him a number of times. Nice, unassuming bloke, had a splendid example of a classic VW campervan. RIP.

Ah, sad news. The clip of him and Norman Hunter scrapping never fails to raise a smile. Proper football.
Also the latest victim of The Curse Of HMHB of course... ('Persian Rug Sale At The URC')

Luton Town lose one of their few fans.
Crikey, he wasn't even 40 when I saw Pavement back in the day. He seemed so old! I guess he was compared to everyone else. A strange man - very much not sober at the time - I remember him giving out Bonios to the audience at Leeds Duchess Of York. I can imagine his antics must have got very tiresome for the rest of the band, but he had a good heart. RIP.

It's A Beautiful Day were a great band - as with so many, screwed over by Matthew Katz, and their debut album cover is one of the classics of its genre. RIP.

Het Zesde Metaal keyboardist Tom Pinterns dead at 49.
Sad news, they're a really good band (know of them thanks to a friend who's a fan and also vaguely know their official photographer. He worked with all kinds of Belgium luminaries, including Axelle Red and late Gorki front man Luc De Vos.

1 hour ago, time said:As good a time as any to post this, which Imay have posted last year after Terry Hall's death (or I may not have).
Her version of 'Chiquitita' is gorgeous too, dare I say *whispers* better than the original?

I do have an unusual or minority opinion on her music in that mandinka is my favourite song of Sineads not Nothing compares to you..
Another firmly in the 'Mandinka' camp.
Terribly sad news, though possibly not a surprise as I never thought she'd make old bones. I guess there'll be all kinds of speculation but any news on cause of death yet?

Aww, sad news. An icon. I always hoped her and Marianne Faithfull would do a show together. RIP.
(And yes, I have inevitably seen her live - Muzik'elles festival in Meaux, 2009.)

Just read the news about Jean-Louis Murat. Obviously I mainly know him via the Mylène Farmer duo 'Regrets' and co-writing 'Un Singe En Hiver' and 'Karma Hirls' for Indochine, but liked what I heard of his other music.

RIP Dr Evadne Hinge. Off to join Dame Hilda in the corner of Heaven that will always be Stackton Tressel.
Sad news. Loved Hinge & Bracket as a kid and it's a Big regret of mine that I never got round to seeing them when thry regularly played Leeds City Varieties.
It's not been a good few months for much-loved drag characters.

Maria Charles, probably best known as Maureen Lipman's mother in 'Agony', has apparently died. Posted from a usually very reliable Facebook group.
She ought to get an obit as she was the go-to Jewish mother until Maureen Lipman and Lesley Josrph got older, plus had a very distinguished stage career too. (And she's a unique pick for me).

Sad news. Always liked him as an actor and by all accounts he was a lovely chap.
Other than Michael York and Rita Tushingham, there aren't many people from 'Smashing Time' left at all now.

David Hepworth's deleted his tweet too. I had him down as a v reliable source rather than it being just Twitter tittle tattle, which I why I posted it here.

Can't see anything news-wise but David Hepworth has said on Twitter that Chris Farlowe has died.
EDIT after checking this year's DDP team: Oh FFS, I had him in my team the other year too as well...

Legend and far more important to a generation just slightly too young for John Peel (erm.. You know what I mean). Annie made Sunday night baths and homework bearable. RIP.
