MortalCaso 1,624 Posted June 15, 2023 22 minutes ago, Kenny said: She's 82, presumably another ad for autotune? Why can't geriatric "pop stars" retire gracefully? They're worth millions so it must be vanity and narcissism. They aren't worth as much as you think. A lot of that money gets burned by family, lawyers, taxes, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,436 Posted July 17, 2023 Ray Dorset (Mungo Jerry) made another appearance on The Heritage Charts to introduce a version of Alright Alright Alright. Looked and sounded very good, appears to have put his heart issues behind him for now.. Suzi Quatro also showed up looking exactly like how you'd expect a 73 year old Suzi Quatro to look. Her voice is a bit gone but she can still hit notes I blatantly never could. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mungo Jerry's official website has no forthcoming gigs, putting it down to "developing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic", either their live work is well on the back burner or they know summat the rest of us don't!

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted July 18, 2023 Chicago house mainstay DJ Deeon is dead. Was picked in the DL Cup last year due to ongoing health issues, but considering his charge sheet he could have been picked anywhere: Quote Since 2002, he had undergone treatment for stage 4 Hodgkins lymphoma, diabetes, a series of mini strokes, and a serious accident that ultimately led to the amputation of his lower left leg. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
