Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted October 9, 2013 Sharon Jones Probably not well know enough to get a UK Obit, but Sharon Jones of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings has postponed the release of her next album and tour to undergo surgery for early stage Bile Duct Cancer. Could well get the obit through the Amy Winehouse connection. However, isn't that the cancer that saw off Ray Manzarek ? I gather he had it for several years so it could take a while .... Just had the press release through for The Dap Kings (much-delayed) new album. Says that Sharon is undergoing "ongoing treatment" after "successful surgery". No tour dates announced and the video for the lead single doesn't feature her at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted October 22, 2013 Noel Harrison, at 79. Son of Rex 'Dr Dolittle' Harrison. Of a heart attack following a gig at the Black Dog Village Hall - that's DDT's neck of the woods, I believe. I nearly put him in the Brel Jelly Jewellery thread. Or the winter Olympics thread.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 22, 2013 Latest on Anastacia's battle against cancer With her and TheBig Yin claiming successfull treatment who are going to be 2014's Bernie Nolan and Hugo Chavez? Michael York and Casey Kasem both look like promising prospects (though not from their doctors' point of view - unless they happen to be closet Deadpoolers) Hmm, makes me wonder: are there any real life medical doctors on this forum? I'm not aware of one, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that one or two wander by, among the guests. Or would a Real Doctor be much too busy keeping death away to be much interested in our ghoulish little game? regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted November 1, 2013 Colin Cooper, the lead singer of the hit UK band Climax Blues Band has died of cancer at the age of 68. http://www.thisisthesentinel.co.uk/display...;pNodeId=158324 Not familar with the singer's name, but I have actually listened to some of the band's songs. They're a great group--a blast from the past. The mighty Staffordshire Newsletter, with some slightly dodgy spelling, informs us that founder/guitarist/vocalist Pete Haycock has also reached a climax (sorry, best I could think of at short notice). Let's have a bit of 70s honky funk, shall we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted November 11, 2013 Iranian indie rock act The Yellow Dogs would no doubt be delighted at the international attention their band is currently getting, sadly three of them won't be around to share in the royalties their increased Spotify plays will bring in. http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20131111/east-williamsburg/enraged-musician-kills-bandmates-williamsburg-police-reports-say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
