Joey Russ 7,119 Posted May 30, 2017 Next big name after Allman probably. Won't be the next name though (someone obscure probably will be). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImissMontpellier 73 Posted May 30, 2017 Hello. what about Michel Sardou , one of most popular French singers? He is 70 and has just retired. Can't see him reaching 75. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted May 31, 2017 Interesting fact, apart from 2015, someone who died in this club got chosen by the DDP victor in the past 5 years, Jon Lord in 2012, Reg Presley in 2013, Mike Burney in 2014, and, although he didn't obit, Michel Delpech in 2016. It'll probably continue this year with Peter Skellern in 2017, so, Olivia Newton-John for 2018? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hpresti 14 Posted June 6, 2017 Big rock singers have a knack to fall at the specific age of 69 for usually no reason at all except complications from drug abuse back in the day. Possible victims: Carlos Santana Alice Cooper Steven Tyler Don Henley Sammy Hagar Tony Iommi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted June 6, 2017 Good list and good research on your part Joey, and thanks for taking the time to do this especially since the 69-71 club was originally my idea. I personally would never have the time or make the effort to compile a list like this, just being a casual deathlister myself. A couple of favourites of mine - John Wetton of Asia/King Crimson and Chris Squire of Yes - were slightly too young when they died to be on this list. So who do I expect might we see on this list in the future? Possible names include... Phil Collins Ozzy Osbourne Tom Waits Rick Wakeman Mark E. Smith (but really it's a 50/50 whether he will die before then) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
