You know....Argent, as in Rod, as in The Zombies. Odd that wasn't previously tied together in a nice bow, being 5 days apart. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 2, 2018 “It had been reported in May last year that Dennis was 'seriously ill'. Journalist Ken Bedford posted on Facebook at the time: "Prayers are needed for singer Dennis Edwards of the Temptations. He was admitted to a St Louis hospital after returning from a concert date in Canada last week. He is seriously ill and I won't say any more until until his wife releases details.” So this is a big miss for the lot of us? However this DOES give me a new search term “seriously ill”. Hadn’t tried that one yet. SC Edit: NOPE! YoungWillz alerted us May 7 2017. Well done Y-Dub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bentrovato 1,089 Posted February 6, 2018 A quick question given the recent announcements by Elton John and Paul Simon. Anyone know how many other pop stars have headed out all hale and hearty and buoyant on their Official Last World Tour and never managed to get to the end of it alive? None spring to mind personally.

NONE fit that bill exactly as I can recall though quite a few - notably Lemmy - died with dates still in the diary (they just hadn't announced those tours as the end of anything) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
