Bola Tinubu, now the President Elect of Nigeria is again widely rumored to be ill as he's had multiple mystery visits to France this year, just returned from there two weeks ago and is now allegedly going back. He didn't look "ill" last month but worth keeping an eye on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about the obit though - Stanley Appel hasn't had one yet. And TOTP was essentially the Beeb's flagship show during his tenure - I'd definitely expected something, given his revamp of that show. Plantin did some great shows, whether he did anything noteworthy beyond that, I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gisooo 3,329 Posted June 7, 2023 It is talked that Britain's Got Talent dance star Paddy Jones (Wiki) also known as Salsa Granny, died last year!? According to this TikTok video, someone at the comments (even though he was told it was a lie) is instisting that she died last year batteling a year with Covid. To me look very odd and extraordinary that she died quietly after the fame she got in 2015, she lived her life mostly in Spain lately and her official Fb last post was on Jan 2022, so I dont really know? Any thought? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll be a hit for me in the Dictionary Deadpool if so. There have been false rumours of his demise before but it wouldn't be that surprising. I doubt he'll reach 70.

This guy was the stuff of many young lads and teenagers nightmares were I live back in the day. It wasn't just gyms and sports stadiums he harassed males but also in parks and he used to hang around a place near me were teenagers played on their mountain bikes, a sort of dirt track. He often made his requests with real menace. Some I personally know were genuinely frightened by their experiences with him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted September 12, 2023 Who doesn't love a scurrilous health rumour? Jean Todt, ex FIA and Ferrari head, perhaps best known to the wider world for his marriage to Michelle Yeoh. Looks thinner in recent photos, sold off his vast watch collection for millions, upset his best friend and no longer speaks to him, married Yeoh one year earlier than planned. Could it be that he married early as he won't make it to next year? Won't speak to his friend as he knows he's on his way out? Raising money for funds for treatment? Or a load of old claptrap? You decide.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because of Schumacher he's a universally known name in Germany. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,732 Posted October 3, 2023 Lots of rumors on Russian social media and news that Ukrainian politician/oligarch Andriy Klyuyev who was one of pro-Russia president Yanukovych's closest allies before Euromaidan (head of the Presidential Administration, first Deputy Prime Minister & head of the National Security and Defense Council) is in a Moscow hospital, possibly in coma. Edit: Gazeta and Lenta both reporting he's on ECMO following multiple organ failure... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
