gcreptile 10,803 Posted January 18, 2018 Thread for Randy Newman, the happiest pessimist in the music business, two-time Oscar winner, three-time Emmy winner, six-time Grammy winner, 74 years old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Newman He just had to cancel his European tour because of a "severe knee condition": https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2018/0117/934011-randy-newman-forced-to-cancel-two-dublin-shows/ He'll probably live on for 10 more years, but I thought he deserves his own thread, he's just that kind of guy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,403 Posted August 1 The tour dates Newman cancelled in January 2023 due to a neck operation haven't been rescheduled at all yet. In fact he hasn't played a single gig in over two years, and I don't think I can find any media appearances or interviews with him in the past 12 months... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find anything either - even his Facebook page seems a little light on anything involving him actually being seen (except for a birthday announcement last November that may or may not have been a recent picture then). Given I have a bit of a connection to him (he and my mentor were both inducted as Disney Legends the same year), and I'm also a fan of some of his more obscure stuff (Cop Rock especially), I hope he's doing well.
