Vinegar Tits 606 Posted August 18, 2023 Luton Town lose one of their few fans. Crikey, he wasn't even 40 when I saw Pavement back in the day. He seemed so old! I guess he was compared to everyone else. A strange man - very much not sober at the time - I remember him giving out Bonios to the audience at Leeds Duchess Of York. I can imagine his antics must have got very tiresome for the rest of the band, but he had a good heart. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted January 13 Lengthy post on a well-informed Beatle social media page this morning that - frankly - admits the whereabouts and continued existence of Jimmy Nicol (b.1939) remain a mystery. Wiki considers him alive, though also notes the death rumours began in 1988. As and when his death is confirmed (best guesses are he is still alive and in Mexico) it's a shoo-in of coverage, mainly because of his two weeks as a stand-in Beatle, including eight gigs, whilst tonsillitis laid Ringo low. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
