I would do but, as he's no longer an MP I'd be wiser to suggest Suella Braverman or Nigel Farage. Or Jimmy Carter, just to see if that's the final push he needs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Daredevil 1,189 Posted August 8 Chris Rea would be worth some consideration... been awfully quiet in his direction So many other notable singers/musicians around 70-80 to consider (Jacques Dutronc, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger, Eddy Mitchell, Rick Wakeman etc.). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadMac 98 Posted August 10 Another one from the wrestling world to watch is Jim Ross, who did an interview with AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland on Wednesday’s Dynamite and looked like Keith Richards warmed up. He’s lost an alarming amount of weight and looks very ill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted August 14 Deadpooling dumpster fire of 2025: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13739345/teen-influencer-isabel-veloso-battling-terminal-cancer-pregnant.html Brazilian influencer Isabel Veloso (3+ million followers) has terminal cancer and only months to live. She's 18 years old.... and pregnant! So there maybe some space for interpretation of how serious it is. Edit: My guess: She'll be dead BEFORE 2025. Edit II: It looks like all her followers are coming from the cancer story. Diagnosis in 2021, Instagram since 2020, no fame before that. So she wouldn't qualify for the DDP in that case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have they achieved anything of major note since diagnosis? But 18, pregnant and terminally ill would have fallen under our "dear god no" decision making at the time.

jimbean1121 238 Posted August 14 bringing back my campaign for Gary Busey to make an appearance on next year’s list as in a recent tiktok he made (august 5th), he looks and sounds absolutely horrible: slurring words, looking frail and disheveled, and you don’t really live that long with a brain injury anyways. huge possibility for 2025 in my eyes.

I'm surprised Gary's made it as long as he has with the injury and a few overdoses. To be fair, Gary's not been looking that great for a few years now. If he were to suddenly die of a heart attack or stroke, I wouldn't be surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve 596 Posted August 15 Two other names I am going to put forward: 1) Robert Redford, 89 next year, looks very frail in the face and not a great picture of health and 2) Harvey Keitel, 86 next year and certainly looked elderly and frail in the recent drama series "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" playing the elderly Lali Sokolov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Immortal 634 Posted August 15 On 19/01/2024 at 19:36, The Immortal said: About that time for a Medal of Honor recipient update, and especially since they had their annual convention back in November 2023. In the first pic Roger Donlon (in the wheelchair) continues to embrace being an immortal, attending the convention seemingly with ease despite Parkinson's and a stay in hospice back in August. Jay Vargas (bottom far left) is now using a cane. Barney Barnum (bottom far right) has been frail and using a cane for a while now so nothing new with him. In the second pic, I think that's 97 year old Ralph Puckett in the wheelchair 2nd from the right. Nothing I see of note besides that, though they are an aging bunch. Honestly at this point I think Jose Rodela who hasn't been seen around in ages because of dementia and heart failure, will go before Donlon or Puckett. Well this prediction ended up totally wrong, but I found out that Jose Rodela made a public appearance at an NFL halftime event back in 2022 and he can be seen in a wheelchair looking very frail and seemingly clueless as to where he is, which lines up with the source I found claiming he's suffering from dementia. Roger Donlon was in that halftime event too and could still move around so it tells you a lot on how bad Rodela's condition was even back then, and adding heart failure to the mix I can only imagine how much it's worsened now. I'd like to throw in another possibility in the singer who performs in the video, Lee Greenwood of "God Bless the U.S.A" fame. He's 81 and just retired from performing this year because of health reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely. I am struck by how some of his counterparts seemed to be in much better condition, despite an age difference of only a few years. (And, strangely, only 1/2 of the MoH recipients on active duty (who were in the video) wore their uniform. Just a small quirk I found odd. 3 of the 4 are still active to this day - none of them wore their uniforms for this appearance.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
