Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 3, 2016 When a thread like this is randomly updated, its either a death or a birthday. Maybe both, still a ways to go. You're on your game today Y-Dub, that's hilarious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,478 Posted August 3, 2016 When a thread like this is randomly updated, its either a death or a birthday. Maybe both, still a ways to go. He's one of those boring picks who drop off the year they're not on the list, so possibly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,653 Posted August 3, 2016 When a thread like this is randomly updated, its either a death or a birthday. Yeah, or some random drive-by who posts an enigmatic and generally useless comment about knowing something s/he can't source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,478 Posted August 3, 2016 I went to look and see what Tony was up to on his 90th. Planning a second album with Lady Gaga, apparently. Well, didn't see that one coming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted November 24, 2016 Saw him at the Macy's thanksgiving day parade today. He looks fine at 90. You can say that about anyone at 90 and they're dead the next minute. I still think he'd be a reasonable pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,478 Posted May 15, 2020 In lieu of the super healthy Mr Bennett going a year on the DL without any posts: Tony Bennett seems to think that Tony Bennett is a bad pick on this years DL. Quote I pace myself and I plan to be active for some time to come, but I am sure there will be more gigs and I would not be surprised if I am not in the studio again before long. I have recorded all the favourite songs plus some others, but there are always new songs to sing so who knows?” 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted May 15, 2020 I really don't think he 's at much risk of death this year. You can't put people on the list just cos they're old, otherwise you end up with Kirk Douglas clogging up the thing for 10 years 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted November 19, 2020 Here's a clip of him singing last month. Certainly looking his age now. His voice has changed too but he can still belt out a tune. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKeysOfMarinus 390 Posted November 24, 2020 Not sure if anyone's pointed this out already but, following Vera Lynn's death, Tony is the earliest UK chart-topper still alive (Stranger in Paradise, May 1955). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
