Chris Whitley

 

Singer / Songwriter dies from lung cancer aged 45.

 

Can't say I've heard of him, but the news is being reported on many sites.

He was never a well looking chap...

George Best has finally departed this mortal coil. Thought he'd last till next year the way he was going!

Shame that. I really liked him even though I'd never watched any of the Karate Kid movies. :lol:

World rally champion Richard Burns has died of cancer at 34

 

A shame that. He was the first ( and to date only ) Englishman to win the WRC title. I knew he had a brain tumour but I didn't realise that it was stilll so serious. There was very little about it in the media.

If I'd never heard anything by the Shadows, I'd still have heard of Tony Meehan, because Jet Harris & Tony Meehan's biggest hit, "Diamonds", was Number One the week I was born.
