Apparently in that documentary The White Zulu showing in S Africa recently, Johnny Clegg now admits he is terminally ill and is "considerably weakened". Saw it looking up Midsummer picks, forgot to post, lost the url. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,437 Posted June 14, 2019 Here you go: months to live prognosis according to French coverage of the new doc. I mean, we all knew that'd be the case with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, but yeah, he'll be a DL hit relatively imminently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomTomTelekom 3,727 Posted July 16, 2019 Sad News, one of Africas music legends has gone. RIP! My 8th hit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted July 16, 2019 Kind of a lazy hit by the committee. He wasn't exactly their kind of celebrity, so they put him only at nr. 50. Still, good for them to change their ways. Sadly, I never listened to Mr. Clegg's music. Maybe I'll change that tonight. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Corbyn 89 Posted July 16, 2019 Such sad news, I was a big fan of his music. Sadly I can't say the same for his long lost relative Nick Clegg but that's for another time. Johnny was a music legend, me and Diane will miss him a lot when we drink our cans of Mojito on the train together. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
