VSBfromH 74 Posted July 24, 2009 Heinz Edelmann, the multifaceted graphic designer and illustrator who created the comically hallucinogenic landscape of Pepperland as art director for the 1968 animated Beatles film “Yellow Submarine,” died on Tuesday in Stuttgart, Germany. He became famous because of his work on ‘Yellow Submarine,’ ... But that celebrity actually obscured his real talent and imagination.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted August 26, 2009 The BBC is becoming the Beatles Broadcasting Corporation for a week in early September. I'm sure Anubis is particularly looking forward to the real-time two-hour documentary, Macca: Me Vice. It's about time BBC Four had a 'Death Week'. I'll subtly suggest it next time I speak with the schedulers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted September 28, 2009 Lucy Vodden, formerly Lucy O'Donnell, 46, is suffering from the chronic auto-immune disease and, according to Julian Lennon, she is seriously ill. She was the inspiration for John Lennon to write "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". Lucy Vodden has died. Back to the drawing board for my DDP joker next year!

TAFKAG 70 Posted May 5, 2011 The man who played the piccolo trumpet solo on Penny Lane, David Mason, has died. No doubt the poor chap played on hundreds of great classical choons and rated Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders over the Beatles, but it's in here he goes I'm afraid. He was paid the princely sum of 27 pounds and 10 shillings for his few minutes' work, apparently. That's £786,259 in today's money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,573 Posted October 30, 2012 Paul McCartney has just done an interview with Sir David Frost for Aljazeera in which he tries to break the myth about Yoko Ono breaking up the Beatles. My concern is that he is being very nice (and the bigger person). Is there a reason for this such as one of them is likely to die in the next 18 months.

time 8,599 Posted October 30, 2012 Is there a reason for this such as one of them is likely to die in the next 18 months. Ono hopefully I wouldn't shed any tears over either though wouldn't actually wish either dead. Unless McCartney does another live performance as per the Olympic opening ceremony.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted October 30, 2012 Out of curiosity, we know that 50% of the Beatles (Lennon and Harrison) and 50% of the Who (Entwistle and Moon) are dead. Are there any bands from the British Invasion era with lower survival rates with regard to their classic line-ups? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted October 30, 2012 Well, the Kinks only have one missing (Peter Quaife). The Stones have lost a couple on the way (Jones, Stewart). Chas Chandler is the only original member of the Animals to get to the great gig in the sky. Small Faces have lost Ronnie Laine and Steve Marriott. Overall, the British Invasion groups have held up quite well compared to other eras in terms of survival... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only one apiece of the Pacemakers and the original Herman's Hermits have died, too.
