Paul Bearer 5,685 Posted July 30, 2023 Was watching the 60’s music channel last night/this morning when the “video” for Bonnie and Clyde song came on. Got to wondering about him and found he was very much alive and kicking at the age of 80. He teamed up with Alan Price (81) for a short while. (I’ll create a thread for him too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKeysOfMarinus 366 Posted July 30, 2023 Definitely not a mobile as he was, sadly. He attended the unveiling of a plaque for Eddie Cochran at Bristol Hippodrome on 22 April using two canes and a walker with a seat. Next to him with the purple jumper is Vince Eager (83). I remember reading at the time that legendary drummers Brian Bennett (83) and Clem Cattini (85) were going to be there, but it looks like they weren't. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackhurst Broadcasting 336 Posted July 30, 2023 I don't suppose Mike Read is going to die shortly, but when I see him on Talking Pictures I always think he looks like he's been embalmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted July 31, 2023 Actually had some dealings with Vince Eager almost exactly a year back - clearly on the ball, he said he was "very much busy" and "in the middle of writing my second book". His website still presents the 83 year old as a going concern (live talks more than musical gigs these days): https://vinceeager.co.uk/ Given his colourful early career (pals with Eddie Cochran, had a stab at Eurovision and was part of the Larry Parnes stable), he's likely obitable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
