Guest julie j. Posted August 18, 2005 oooooooooooh, harsh! can't vouch for whether or not he's slowed down with the women but the word is that he stopped all that drinking and drugging and has been clean and sober, as they say, since 1988. i say, give the guy a break. he was an incredibly talented kid who got himself totally screwed up, and has had a pretty rough go of it, judging by recent photos of him. and now, an actor and a song-and-dance man, losing his ability to sing and speak? i'd say he's paying dearly for his past...personally, i'd like to see him redeem himself, get healthy, and kick ass again on the london stage. so - hey - anyone out there who's got an email (or snail mail) address for him, i hope you'll pass it along to me. many thanks. p.s. to "heaven can wait" -- i do think that the job as marcel marceau's stuntman has definite possibilities.

Bald rick 9 Posted August 18, 2005 What is it recently with people (mainly unregistered people) who visit a site called deathlist and expect us to be able to give the names and addresses of the people mentioned on the site? Do they think that the moderators (or whichever other semi-deities who compile the list) contact them all before inclusion to get their approval and these details so that 'fans' (stalkers?) can be helped out. The purpose of the site is fairly clearly explained in several places, nowhere to my knowledge does it say 'this is a fan site - we have all contact details for any (semi) famous people who may or may not be close to death and we will be happy to supply them to those people who are too lazy or inept to obtain this information by other means'. (Except there, it does say that now, but never mind...) If he's an actor/ singer/ author/ comedian, he's probably got an agent. That would be a good place to start, don't you think? If he's a politician, he probably belongs to a party, why not try them? Why the hell do you feel the need to contact them anyway? What are you going to say - chances are lots of other random people will have already spouted pathetic sycophantic simperings already? Harrumph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 93 Posted February 24, 2006 A cert for the 2006 DL surely. They'd only operate to such an extent because certain death was stalking him. His immune system has taken enough punishment for half a dozen lifetimes. Apparentely not a cert, but someone brought this up in the 2007 Ideas thread, so it might be a good time to discuss if he's on people's minds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 1,855 Posted February 24, 2006 Apparentely not a cert, but someone brought this up in the 2007 Ideas thread, so it might be a good time to discuss if he's on people's minds. No. In fact I took him off the DDP longlist completely as he's cancer free and apart from the fact he can't speak is quite healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BBC have also announced he has died. Maybe I should look at my reasoning again, or trust better sources... Unless he went suddenly... anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 1,855 Posted March 2, 2006 why cant things be posted in the main forum and in here as well?! The question, surely, is why should you want to post in Near Misses, when there's already a dedicated thread to him which has announced his death? Near Misses, as you clearly need some reminding, is those near misses, not covered elsewhere in the forum, who were ones that either the DL should've got or at least people who maybe some of us have heard of. Near misses is not Iain's personal posting of anybody who appears on Recent Deaths Wikipedia page. You seem to be in some fantasy world that you're in a newsroom & you are breaking the news to us of deaths, when most of us have already seen the deaths, dismissed them as nobodies & three days later you're telling us again. *Rant Over* Apparently, he died from oral cancer. So my source, which said he was clear was wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 599 Posted March 2, 2006 Sad news about a guy who dies at aged just 53. Got him on my Egamegazette.net team so that makes me 4 hits from 68 names - sad too as the bloke running the said site won't list my team for some reason - I'm still keeping the scores and if I win it I'll even go to court to claim my dues!

Vinegar Tits 584 Posted March 2, 2006 apart from the fact he can't speak is quite healthy. Famous last words eh, OOO? Not Jack Wild's final words though he if couldn't speak mind you... Another hit for my team - yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
