maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted October 11, 2009 One death from Boyzone is a tragedy, a death from Westlife is a statistic.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted October 11, 2009 Apparently, Boyzone are now a quartet! What a shocker. Drugs is my guess. Who is Stephen Gately? Isn't this more significant, death by gingervitis? I always thought you got Gingervitis if you didnt wipe your arse properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted October 12, 2009 I suppose Dickie Peterson, lead singer, bassist and founder member of American 60s psychadelic heavy metal pioneers Blue Cheer is probably too obscure as well. Which is a shame as someone has just announced on the band's forum that he has liver cancer. ....Dickie Peterson has died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted October 13, 2009 Scottish singer Ian Wallace has died at the age of 90. Picked on the DDP by three people, including once as a joker, but I won't mention the names of teams to spare myself another disapproving grimace from Yvonne.
