Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted June 19, 2013 I don't know if there's a separate thread for rock stars but if there is I couldn't find it. Anyway, according to Huffington Post, Axl Rose walks with a cane now (!). Unless he was just thinking of buying that cane from the yard sale and was just playing around with it.... http://www.huffingto..._n_3454288.html He's walked on and off with a cane for ages, I don't think it means anything at all. I think he looks very well for a man of his age and history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he looks very well for a man of his age and history. definitely catching up with him though . 50 and walking with a cane , in this day and age 50 is middle age. Why does he walk with a cane anyway ? Did he have an accident or a side effect from the drugs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he looks very well for a man of his age and history. OK so I wouldn't pick him out as Axl Rose in a line up but he looks reasonably fit, the weight gain is not excessive and it would probably concern me more if he was more gaunt. However I am not a medical man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted June 19, 2013 Elizabeth McIntosh Not a pop star herself, but the sister of much missed "Associates" singer Billy MacKenzie, who committed suicide in 1997. Noteworthy in that she is the fourth MacKenzie sibling to die in tragic circumstances - the others died of a drug overdose and in a fire. Hell, there's clearly mile-wide baggage in that clan. Are any them known to be happy and healthy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted June 23, 2013 Roger La Vern, keyboard player of the Tornados, has died age 74. It's his playing you can hear on Telstar. He did play keyboards on Telstar, but if you'll excuse the pedantry the famous 'futuristic' spacey-sound lines were (almost certainly) done by Meek's mucker Geoff Goddard on a clavioline. Unless it was by Rolf on the stylophone. Your DDP Rogers seem to be doing about as well as my Harrys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
