Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted March 8 Unless Mel decided to become a recluse at some point in the past 10 months, long after COVID was a day-to-day threat, then this is just another internet "free-thinker" believing whatever he's told by someone else. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Q&A was 2 hours long, he sounds great, clearly has no issues with his memory and from the video is quite stable on his feet. Could very easily make 100, safe drop in my opinion.

I think whoever shot this video should have picked a better antecedent though! Mel looks fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dimreaper 692 Posted September 23 Old news at this point, but he looked and sounded fantastic at the Peabody Awards back in June of this year. I would never advocate dropping a major celebrity who is as old as he is, but I'd say he's hardly a top 10 pick for '25. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted September 23 This might be the only thread among the 50 deathlist people where we post less than we could, because Brooks still goes out regularly, whereas, say, Cleo Laine, no news for years... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laine's granddaughter (E. Dankworth) seems to be the only source to provide any updates on her. She usually posts a recent image (or images) of Cleo onto her Instagram page on Cleo's birthday.
