Considering it's so many months away, doesn't sound great sadly. He's now cancelled his entire 10 show tour from the end of 2022.

I read in a Roy Wood FB group that his illness is related to diabetes, though I can’t be sure of the veracity. I really hope he gets better. To me, he is a total pop genius. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,639 Posted May 25, 2022 Doesn't sound good, he's obese with a history of heart problems and alcohol/drug use. Also had a fall a while before the stroke.

If he is still with us at the end of the year I am assuming his lighting director awards and credentials would make him a valid pick in his own right? But we would need the runners of pools/competitions like the DDP we would need @gcreptile and @Death Impends to confirm whether he would be a qualifying pick or not because he is seen as not being famous enough in his own right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's had enough of a media presence off being Meghan's dad that I'd be fine with him as a pick anyway, but yeah Emmy winner is a legit pick by default. As evidenced by him already being a DDP pick this year! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,576 Posted June 1, 2022 On 06/04/2022 at 19:34, Gooseberry Crumble said: I am going to share some gossip that I have read on other places on the Internet, a whisper that came to me indirectly- neither of which I can vouch for but seemed plausible and believable to my judgement and some speculation or amateur reasoning of my own on the health of a British celebrity! First name- Joel Grey. On a handful of other places on the Internet there was a claim made that to acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the film Cabaret the bosses putting together the Oscars really wanted to have an onstage appearance from Joel Grey as well as Liza Minnelli and really thought there was a good chance but apparently health and frailty issues with Joel meant that they couldn't pull it off. A decline in his wellbeing in recent months rather than something sudden or minor was behind the disappointment according to this information being teased and hinted at. The second one doesn't involve a specific name but some interesting information. I was told very indirectly recently ie information has gone through a chain of people so information is way beyond second hand that a veteran Coronation Street star sometime in the next year is being given an honour like an obe or Dameship /Knighthood Sir. They weren't specific if the person is still a cast member but they did seem to allude to it being a female . One of the reasons behind the timing of the award is concern about their long term health. My money would be on Barbara Knox or Eileen Derbyshire. And finally I was surprised to find , at least to the best of my brief look through the tributes to June Brown that there was nothing from Pam St Clement her former EastEnders costar. They worked together for decades and were known to be friends off screen. Pam did give a tribute when Barbara Windsor died. My own suspicion is she is in poor form. I could be wrong but that's my feeling. Pam is 80 next month. So Joel Grey, Barbara Knox, Eileen Derbyshire or another Corrie veteran and Pam St Clement, all names worth considering for 2023 based on the information I have posted. Helen Worth has just been awarded an MBE so maybe it’s her. She has had several breaks in recent years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
