Has Bashar al-Assad had a stroke? Perhaps, according to some sources.

Unsuprisingly the regime are denying it...

Original story also spent time considering the chance he might have been shot by a bodyguard.

 

'bout time we had another of those ironic endings.

Has Bashar al-Assad had a stroke? Perhaps, according to some sources.

Rumours on Twitter that Syrian Army in Damascus is on high alert, some claim Russian Military Police have increased presence. Meanwhile Turkish on Twitter claiming that his brother, Maher Assad, has staged a coup. All unconfirmed, all exactly the sort of stuff that spreads quickly in a situation like this - would take it all with a heavy pinch of salt.

The Praetorian Guard did that to the Roman Emperors all the time. I wonder who paid the bodyguard, if that is indeed what has happened....

In reality they were celebrating his 60th birthday. Kinda slip up you think would make him and his old mate John Peel both chuckle

Can't really blame the work experience person doing the Twitter that day.

 

 

"Here, put up the news about Mark E Smith."

"Uhm, ok...."

(5 minutes later)

"That's NOT the news!"

"Oh right. Sorry. Just assumed these days..."

Sadly, back in the day that work experience person might have listened to John Peel and would simply have known on the back of a forthcoming Fall session that M-E-S was still in the land of the living.

 

I'd say he's a Keith Richards job and will go on well beyond here despite his caning past

Being a rumour I couldn't possibly submit a link ;) but allegedly Gazza now has cancer to add to his woes. Fishing rod and KFC on standby.

Are you referencing the Popbitch blind item by any chance? I thought either Gazza or Michael Barrymore.

For reference:

 

The tabloids have spent years
wringing headlines out of his
health struggles, so what
angle will they go with when
this well-loved, but troubled,
star reveals he has cancer?

 

Gazza seems likely. 

 

Also found this one:

 

This foreign born permanent A list singer/musician has cancer and is not expected to live beyond this year.

 

From an American site. Most of the speculation, linked to the recent pictures, is that it's Slowhand himself...

Could be Barry Manilow.

Do they tend to reveal the subject in a foreseeable time or just wait for some singer to die from cancer and just jump on it?

He has his own thread: 

 

Yes. I'm aware of that, but didn't think it belongs there due to the denial of Allman himself.

This thread is only for stuff that's rumored, and not just for a rumor that is denied.

There are far too many bloody threads in this place, and still people start more.

Dunno what you're talking about, can't wait until Gooseberry completes his list of every single woman alive between the ages of 60 and 85.

When Gooseberry starts a thread on my gran, then I'll get worried...

 

Threads are a meritocracy. Good ones last, crap ones fall to Page 37 like they deserve.
