Sean 6,365 Posted July 6, 2018 Sounds like he might make 2019 as it Is small and probably hasn't spread yet.It is likely to return after surgery and spread but this could take a few weeks or months and with chemo he could realistically make 2019.2020 seems very unlikely though.Nailed on Drop 40 and Do candidate for 2019 if he makes it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,137 Posted July 6, 2018 Don't exaggerate. This does not seem so bleak. Hope he recovers. Truly only musician I'd like to see dead is the fucker known as Sonny Rollins. Never stood him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never stood him. Very aggressive cancers have a habit of recurring and spreading throughout the body rapidly as was seen with A A Gill and Charles Krauthammer.

Deathray 2,942 Posted July 6, 2018 Might be time to cash in on that book, he's been writing everyday for thirty five years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,942 Posted July 6, 2018 I bet a million thoughts are racing through his mind, and he hasn't said a word. (I'll stop but his songs are gold for this, and he's only got two good ones (Oliver's Army and Good Year for the Roses, only one of which he wrote). Elvis Costello must have convinced a hell of a lot of average kids in the 70s and 80s they could be pop stars. So I suppose he's got that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prophet 251 Posted July 6, 2018 I think he shouldn't be on the Deathlist next year, but I think he will. The committee would make the same error as they did with Ronnie Wood this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woods cancer was never described as "very aggressive" My guess is is that he has squanimous cell carcinoma that was caught early by chance.It is highly likely to come back with a vengeance within the next year.
