Reading up on one of the all-time great one-hit wonders, I discovered that while DJ Sven went on to be a successful radio host, MC Miker G became a drug addict and was homeless for several years. He looks like this now:

Perhaps this is just me hoping the news is untrue but: an unchecked twitter account with 947 followers that links to a fan page which appears to have been put together by someone who took all their web design courses back at the inception of the internet

This is the complete opposite of Dead Pop Star, there was nowhere else to put it.  Mavis Staple is looking pretty good for an 82 year old.  If anybody is interested she has just got a TikTok account

His new album's not half bad, btw - 88 years old and still gigging.

You mean the guy that had gastric bypass surgery and intentionally  lost 120 pounds or something - you mean that ‘frail’ looking guy?

Sir Cunto is right. He looks fine. He's been out and about socialising with his 20-something year old girlfriend. He's also a current member of Journey and they're still playing gigs so can't be much up with him.

As far as I can see, his only risk factor is he has type 2 diabetes.

Rumours on Twitter that R&B singer and reality TV star Traci Braxton has passed away. This would truly be very upsetting to a lot of people.

And seemingly confirmed by her son on Instagram, with bonus other blueticked Braxton family members commenting. I said before if this pick comes off it'd be the best deadpool pick of my career (even ahead of Andrew Millwall) and it looks like I can sleep easy tonight.

Figured your intuition on that one was golden after she stopped posting to Instagram entirely by mid Jan. Indeed, excellent "connect the dots" pick.
