Guaranteed Drop 40 pick there.

Looks more like issues with the bones.Bone mets or really bad arthritis maybe.

Reminds me of the story about Oliver Hardy losing shit loads of weight and claiming the credit when it was cancer. In Randy's case he clearly lost weight from some weird diets and other techniques including bizarre rituals like drinking pregnant women's urine plus gastric bypass surgery but now he clearly is just wasting away due to illness.

https://heavy.com/entertainment/american-idol/randy-jackson-struggles-to-walk/ :Media report of the event.From September.Some more photos too.

Looks more like bone metastases or his bones are buckling due to having precious little weight to work with. Can't see him lasting more than a few months tops.

Definitely getting Chadwick Boseman vibes from this.He looks ravaged.His legs are like sticks you can see his chestbone through his shirt and you can see the back of his skull clearly. Even one of the women who called out said "awww that's sad".

God he is incredibly gaunt.Looks like death warmed up. Looks sick enough for his own thread.Looks like cancer to me.

Won't make a difference.Presidents tend to honour their predecessors passing regardless of party.Plus Carter although unpopular as President is much admired for his activities after the White House.Unless it is Trump perhaps. I wouldn't be surprised if Carter has opted for a fairly modest send off by Presidential standards.

Not forgetting Dame Patricia Routledge and DL regular Prunella Scales who both had minor roles in the soap also.

Also someone I think Utilizer pointed out they heard Brian Croucher (Ted Hills) was very ill in hospital a few weeks ago.Could be worth a shout on the Eastenders front

Samantha Womack has early stage breast cancer which was picked up by a mammogram. Derek Martin recently did a youtube and a part from having whiter hair looked and sounded really well and hadn't seemed to really aged since he left Eastenders. Danieela Westbrook is the best bet I would think out of the Eastenders names. Elizabeth Kelly and Arnold Yarrow had relatively minor roles.Even though Kelly was in the show 6 years she didn't have any memorable storylines. I think the Committee should be looking closer at names from Corrie and The Archers next year Corrie has Thelma Barlow who is now 93, Kenneth Cope who is 91 and has had COPD for donkeys years now and Malcolm Hebden who is 82 but has serious heart problems.Corrie also has more minor characters that are known for other things such as Doreen Mantle (96) and John Woodvine (93) who were involved in the serial killer John Stapes storyline.William Russell who played Rita Sullivans husband Ted is nearly 98 and reportedly has a failing memory. Then in the Archers you have Patricia Greene (91) , June Spencer (103) , Lesley Saeward (88) and Ysanne Churchman (97)

That is a fantastic list.

Sounds like from the families statement his death was expected.Covid like in so many cases was just the straw that broke the camels back.Very few of even the most vulnerable are dying from it now thankfully.

Arnold Yarrow who played Benny Bloom is a year older than Kelly.

Thought he was dead for a second there. Ratzinger that is.

No she doesn't but when I was 15 or so and used to use my parents computer she found this site from my searches.Wasnt impresses.I said I was googling Ronnie Biggs and stumbled across the site ( which was technically true).I showed my aunt the site and she liked it though.My friends well some know I deadpool and when anyone dies they say "Where they on your list?"

I texted my mother earlier when Phillips death was announced then again when Treacher's was announced and her reply was "Oh God how many more?"

That is my reaction whenever I go into someones house this time of year and the decorations are already up.

I still don't see how appearing hysterical and blocking the M25 will elicit any other response but contempt amongst the public.The activists seem to think that by disrupting people constantly they will eventually see their point of view whereas it seems to be pissing everyone off and making it easier for the government to crack down on protests. I say good on people for dragging them out of the road.The police won deal with the issue so about time the public did.Blocking a road using your own person is nuts dangerous irresponsible and selfish.Plus many of those protesting seem your usual hipster type who aren't even contributing to society unlike the nurse in the Whale interview he did a 12 hour shift then got stuck by the looney tunes for another 4 hours. She needs her sleep after saving lives unlike these jobsworths who are merely damaging their own cause through their own ego.If you turn the public against you they will NOT support you but will support the government to strop the fundamental rights of protests and ignore them.If I stopped everyone in my house going about their business when they tried to leave the house due to wanting to reduce their carbon emissions they would rightly xalk me a loon and get me arrested.Same should apply to this lot.They have no right to stop people earning money to survive or cancer patients getting treatment.Tjey almost have a messiah complex.

No but the methods and behaviour constitute lunacy.Say you someone who is on the fence about supporting their message but then they block your parent or child getting cancer treatment.You will be so angry you will distance yourself from that. Also by targeting innocent folk they give the government the incentive to side with the majority of pissed off citizens and marginalise their own viewpoints.By being so anti social they make government crackdowns on protest and public support for doing so nearly inevitable.

Stopping ambulances or people getting to urgent appointments should be classed as manslaughter if they die from it.

They need to go where the power is.Disrupting ordinary peoples lives and endangering people will turn people away from an important issue.Protest those in power by all means but don't be a coward and go for easy targets like the general public who need medical treatment or to make a living and try and put food on their families table which is becoming increasingly difficult.You need to win hearts and minds and they are doing neither.What good for the environment are they doing? They are just passing off regular people and damaging their cause.Go after those who wield power not cancer patients who have no say on policy.Go protest politicians and let people get their treatment and earn the money most desperately need.
