Here's one to make up my mind about:

The "king of Animusic", i.e. Animé soundtracks, Ichirou Mizuki has been diagnosed with lung cancer spread to brain:

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-07-26/singer-ichiro-mizuki-reveals-lung-cancer-diagnosis/.188043?ann-edition=us

 

Most likely obitable, but also back on stage after successful surgery, and Japan has pretty good cancer survival rates.

Ichirou Mizuki dead at 74.

 

He was already dead when the post above was made.

Was just thinking about David Graham today. I'm surprised he's still alive to be honest. 98 next July but I doubt he'll make it that far after his stroke. As a legend, and the last notable voice actor of the Gerry & Sylvia Anderson productions, can we have him on DL next year?

 

Grandpa Pig and Wise Old Elf is 98 today!

Wonder what this means for the upcoming reboot. I believe they already started working on it.

There are reports on social media that Arleen Sorkin, the original voice behind Harley Quinn in Batman: The Animated Series, has died. She was 67. I'm sure more will come out about this sad news in due course.

Autopsy done, but unable to determine cause of death because his body was so decomposed when it was found. It also says he was found in his bathtub, water still running, and he only weighed 100 pounds at the time of his death.
