Yeah, he's part of that group that made country music absolutely terrible. It was at least decent back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Now it's just utter garbage. Sad...

american country legend Johnny Mathis is dead

This confused me at first  as I didn't realise there were two Johnny Mathis? A famous singer called Johnny Mathis has just turned 82 today and is definitely not dead!

We needed a spare, in case we lost one. And now we have. We have to be careful with our remaining Johnny Mathis.

Obake - just a heads-up.  Please mention the name of the deceased in your posts.

If you just post a quote, the name won't show up in a search.

You don't need to add a lot of detail but you do need to say "X has died",

Country singer Carrie Underwood is bringing in 2018 by sharing more details about more injuries that she suffered after a fall that broke her wrist.

In a blog post to fans on New Year’s Day Underwood says she sustained a facial injury that required 40-50 stitches and that she’s “not quite looking the same.”

She says that she is grateful the injuries weren’t much worse and for the people who have helped her since the November accident. She also cautioned fans that she might not look the same when she’s ready to be seen on camera again.

Meh, can always put a bag over her head, as they say.

Don't doubt that country singer Lari White would've shown up on some of the more astute Cup squads had she made it to February. There won't be such a chance now, as she's just died.

Sounds like it might be true, given the sources, however, the usual confirmations awaited...
