It frees up space for him to reuse one of his frail political picks in 2019. You know what that'd be? Return of the Mack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,539 Posted September 4, 2018 Meant to post this last night, Frank Lee Sprague, one half of The Sprague Brothers has died at the age of 60 after a short illness. Sad this is that his brother Chris, found out about it via Facebook as he is currently on tour in Europe with Los Straitjackets and Nick Lowe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still not entirely convinced her death was an accident, not that the inquest states such either way. She was a troubled person and, maybe because of that, not the nicest person I've ever met to be honest (had that backed up by a number of people and journalists who spent time with her so it's not just me). A sad and shocking death nevertheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted September 16, 2018 Paul Weller's sunken face is testament to a career tobacco addiction. He's turned in a great album this year but...he ain't gonna see very old age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 607 Posted September 16, 2018 Hmm, not sure. Other than the smoking, Weller seems to take care of himself and be in excellent health these days. He stopped drinking a number of years ago and I can't think of any publicised health scares. He's still not as cool as he thinks he is, though... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
