Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 1, 2022 So funny that nobody asked for this back. In fact, until today nobody posted here for over 2 years! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted October 28, 2022 Apparently she’s 95 today and BBC4 is wasting airtime with programmes about the annoying old MOR jazz coot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoorSlammer 563 Posted October 28 As it's Laine's (97th) birthday today, her granddaughter once again posted some photos of her. That bed doesn't seem to be on last year's photos. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,642 Posted October 28 Here's her in her garden in 2015: Performing at almost 91 in 2018: Did a 90th birthday interview back then and vowed to continue performing, but I don't see any evidence of performances after 2018. Perhaps that's when her health began to decline? Looks unrecognisable in the above picture. A tinge of the David Graham to her. I say we keep her on the list.

Does look old and changed but doesn’t look too bad either to me, at almost 100 we’ve seen far worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,951 Posted October 29 From a quick glance she has advanced dementia and extensive cardiovascular disease. As most of the 2024 DL picks, she should have been long gone by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve 603 Posted October 29 Definitely one to remain on the list for 2025. I agree 100% with @drol and @Ulitzer95 comments. I think Cleo has rapidly declined since 2018. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
