Before the flame war. I tried the search thing... Lubuntu + Chromium and a very old PC brought up nought

 

SO

 

Wiki has loads of ex-members and Hank is 71.

 

Worth a thread ?

Are any of them showing any signs of ill health? Jet Harris (d. 2011) and Tony Meehan (d.2005) John Rostill (d. 1973) Ian Samwell (d.2003) the remaining ones are mostly in their 70's. Not really worth a thread IMO. But as you've already started one..........................................

None that I'm aware of.

Clean living band (esp the Jehovah's Witness Mr Marvin) and probs well paid enough to own decent houses, live comfortably and stay in decent hotels. Not - therefore - packing the body miles of less successful bands of their era. How P.J. Proby continues to breathe beats me, not so the Shads.

 

The one unknown in the equation being any residual damage to Bruce Welch following his suicide attempt when Olivia Newton John (fuck knows; blokes do the strangest things once they've had dealings with her) broke off their engagement.

 

So the best use of this here thread might be to relive the hits Cliff didn't fuck up

Yes, what the hell is it about Olivia and men?! Maybe we should just see who she is dating for 2014 tips.

He got religion and healthy living fairly early on - he'll see several nineties drug casualties and 21st century rappers into the grave.
