Keeping a semi-regular eye on Nikki Six, whose heart is on borrowed time, and missed that Mick Mars retired in October from Motley Crue amid frail health. He's had issues for ages. Ankylosing Spondylitis isn't a terminal illness, of course, but given he was very much a keep going till you drop type, maybe watch this space?

I've reluctantly passed him over for a couple of years now for my TOTP team. His condition wasn't entirely unknown, mwhahahahaha. 

 

No Iron Maiden for 1987, so given I can't pick him, he might be in danger.
