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?

Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer in 2020, but is now cancer-free. He revealed his cancer battle last year in an inconspicuous interview with the University of Miami’s School of Medicine that has just been picked up by Blabbermouth.

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. :P

That's a sad one for me. My band supported the Screaming Trees in 1992. Didn't get to talk to him, but the Connor brothers were really nice.

Van Conner reported dead by his brother. Pneumonia. Van was 55. https://www.facebook.com/screamingtreesofficial/posts/pfbid02AGqQbhiswfcU2D5Sg8DppcaFiCyba7ThLqDLbV7PSfxMXSXRgVYvB5phpYVovv9wl?__cft__[0]=AZXtGtxn_i563hA28IrgL20z7Omc0N4mvqRiLf8JdAfsM-AEQOhdPDxoUU4-KYzdYEmys51aN2okEWXwQke8qgjBRrGW-VtvzVmcgbARjFX1ZA8FXdUoYdpx0XAlKLMiOYC3QVaruMb7DN__CUGU4u6e4bskqHHTMNrHo5-8NzWJsMUdx-ZTTq6fUNbzPLdBtwoJI2ogB5vQAVqj61_hI74k&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

Eric Alan Livingston of experimental heavy band Mamaleek has passed away

The band's statement reads, "Eric Alan Livingston was a close friend to each of us, long before he joined Mamaleek. He showed me Devo, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Naked City, King Crimson, and Kraftwerk for the first time, and I was forever changed by its power.

John Regan, a former bassist with the band Frehley's Comet, has died. Regan was a member of the band from the mid-1980s until 1990. Ace Frehley, of course, was an original member of KISS.

I was interested to see he reportedly played bass on the chart topping single version of the Bowie/Jagger version of Dancing In The Street.
