Broadcaster Keith Martin reportedly dead aged 89: 

Pirate radio to continuity announcer to John Major's voice coach. Quite the career. 


We miss a lot of these Pirate radio deaths on here but every month or so this website posts an update on their front page that includes recent passings.

Just saw this online - taken two years back. They're all still alive, actor James Darren, Wink Martindale and Frankie Avalon. Martindale was 90 in December, best known as a radio DJ in the states but obitable if only because his own version of Deck of Cards was a world wide hit

Nah, he's best known as a gameshow host in the US. His radio work was decades before that, and isn't as well remembered among most of the US.

Indeed, but I was more thinking of UK obit chances, a shoo-in on the back of his record storming our charts a couple of times
