Dead Pop Stars

Recommended Posts

Brief re-visit of Chris Farlowe, via an official photo from last weekend's festival, proper old smoker's skin on him - and getting flattened by a taxi clearly did few favours to his stance. Have a hunch (heh heh) he may be charting hereabouts soon.

Maureen McGovern has Alzheimer’s

Actually that is NOT what was reported.

 

’Singer-actress Maureen McGovern says she will no longer perform live concerts after being diagnosed with posterior cortical atrophy with “symptoms of Alzheimer’s and/or Dementia.”

 

Deathlist thanks me for providing accuracy.

Scottish singer Rico Capuano, who performed with Gary Numan on their July 2003 #13 hit Crazier, being reported as having died by Numan himself: 

 


Death notice for Rico in The Herald. Died in Govan. Scotland's People reveals he was born Ricardo Capuano in 1971 in Paisley, so he was 50–51 at the time of his death.

In not dead news, last year @maryportfuncity mentioned that Mungo Jerry's Ray Dorset had open heart surgery in August 2021. Well, he showed up on Talking Pictures this week and was looking well. Just thought I'd mention.

From speaking to someone who knows the family, he thinks he killed himself.

Darius' death determined to be accidental, from accidental inhalation of chlororethane, - medical examiner's office.

Canadian singer/songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie casually reveals a cancer battle, which was quite serious, but the worst seems to be behind her:

Well, we'll wait until it's time for her to go up where she belongs.
