Kenny 283 Posted May 5, 2022 On 26/04/2022 at 11:10, msc said: Listening to an interview with Jon Anderson of Yes. His voice hasn't been what it was in his prime for a while, but it was so weak here I could barely make out what he was saying. Maybe one to watch, alas. Jon is now 77 and finished a short solo tour in April which could have been a factor. Anyone who writes Anderson off understimates his ability to survive major health problems. Major respiratory issues in the noughties nearly killed him and he had multiple operations. Yes then went on tour with singers from two tribute bands. Jon recovered miraculously to tour with Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman before the pandemic struck. I saw the band a few times on those tours. They played two hour sets of outstanding quality! His voice and physical strength were amazing for a man in his seventies. Long live the King of Prog! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 5, 2022 Not sure how KC is considered rap, but he now has a rap sheet. (I recognise this says Kidd with two Ds but I see nothing to indicate Kid with one D of Coconuts fame isn’t the same person; please advise). Rap pioneer Kidd Creole has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for stabbing a homeless man he thought was gay in New York City. Nathanial Glover, aka Kidd Creole, 62, stabbed 55-year-old John Jolly in Midtown Manhattan in 2017. Glover was convicted of first-degree manslaughter last month and today was sentenced to 16 years and five years of post-release supervision Also not sure how long a 62-year old survives as they become newly-introduced to the prison system lifestyle. Maybe not 2023 but dead by 2026. Sir Creole 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to judge if people are covering elections because that's a job demanding lack of sleep. Was watching him whilst in the gym this morning and he did look rough, but no worse than someone staggering off a Sydney to London flight (several of whom I saw just over a week back).

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted May 16, 2022 There seems to be a concerted effort NOT to bother Caroline Watt (agent for Rebecca Vardy) as the current libel trial grinds on. Vardy's arguments about her innocence in leaking stories revolve around Watt being the potential source and the dipshit stories about the way key items of evidence have been lost include the surreal cracker that involves Watt dropping a phone packed with key evidence in the North Sea by accident. Watt is absent from the proceedings for "medical reasons" (the state of her mental health being the most commonly stated health issue, though there are rumours of a car accident). Either way, likely worth flagging it up, if she's so fragile even The Sun won't doorstep her, she must be in a terrible state. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted May 17, 2022 It has been noted on Wikipedia that former first lady of France Bernadette Chirac has not been seen in public since 2019, the year her husband former french President Jacques Chirac died.
