Why?

Considering how things are going, well, everyone who has "Singh" in his name.

Oh flip. Posted in wrong thread.

Dilip Kumar. The last Golden age of Bollywood star and, as I just discovered him, pretty big deal in Bollywood. Kinda their Kirk Douglas I guess.

Just discovered Anita Kerr (b. 1927) is still alive. 

 

Obitable in the US for sure, debatable bet for more UK centric deadpools - amazing CV either way - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Kerr#Discography

Ian Anderson, front singer of Jethro, is suffering from an incurable lung disease and recently stated he he doesn't have much time left. 

Alex Trebek, former Jeopardy host, is suffering from stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and the survival rate from the disease is 18 percentage.

 

Jean-Luc Godard, the most prominent director in the cinema-changing movie movement French New Wave that took place from the late 50s to mid-late 60's, is the sole survivor of the group. He has been smoking since his early teens and never gave it up, turning 90 in 2020 and looking pretty dead in his latest interview that took place during lockdown, I think he'll be lucky to survive 2020.

It seems Ajit Jogi is taking the Jaswant Singh/Ariel Sharon route for long comas. His health is stable, but practically brain dead. Could last that way for years.

Why?

Ian Hunter will be 83 next year and has outlived at least two other members of Mott. At the very least his odds are getting longer.

A gofundme me is set up for Matt Pinfield in order to feel better

One for Maryport. Mind a few years back you were interested in Holocaust survivor and writer Lily Ebert, who had done some stuff about being ill about 6 years ago?

Well, she's 90, alive and recently interviewed by The Telegraph, so still above ground, as it were.

The recent passing of Annie Glenn wife of Cosmonaut John Glenn reminds me some widows of other  American Icons are still with us

 

Rachel Robinson widow of Baseball Icon Jackie Robinson turns 99 next year

Joanne Rogers widow of the late Fred Rogers turns 93 next year

Pilar Pallete widow of John Wayne turns 93 next year

The loss of a good number of immortals this year prompts me to underline how a new generation of them is emerging.

 

1)Syed Ahmed Ali Shah Geelani (1929): suffered from heart failure and recurrent pneumonia for the last bunch of years. Reported dead or on the brik of death many times.

2)Lee Teng-hui (1923): Has been in hospital for months. He survived a severe cerebral hemorrhage last year and has suffered from a large number of ailments.

3)Thich Nhat Hanh (1926): Reported to be dying almost two years ago, he is still being wheeled out each day. Stroke survivor and also manages recurrent pneumonia with ease.

4)Sumner Redstone (1923): Has been a vegetable for years and reportedly bedridden and incredibly frail. Still he persists.

5)Stanley Ho (1921): Every day thousands of money are spent by his family to keep him alive at Hong Kong Sanatorium. Cerebral hemorrhage survivor and has suffered from multiple organ failure, which he survived gleefully. Reported to be "on the brink of death" in January.

6)Balbir Singh, Sr. (1923): Well, you all know him. He survived just everything. Every time we see him bouncing back we think "Is this  fucking joke?", but it isn't.

7)Mikis Theodorakis (1925): A greek copycat of Dilip Kumar, fat, obese and suffering from heart failure. Always about to die, but never does.

8)Dilip Kumar (1922): Probably the last original immortal still alive.

9)Fauja Singh (1911): He is not the man he used to be. His health is slowly declining both physically and mentally wahtever his real age is. Does not look so invincible as he did.

10)Nobby Stiles (1942): Suffering from just everything for years and yet surviving a lot of teammamtes. Amazing.

11)Everton Weekes (1925): It has been in and out of hospital for him since that massive heart attack from June and could have spent months there. 

12)Gigi Simoni (1939): Has been in a coma for over a year, and no sign his condition is deteriorating.

13)Monica Vitti aka Joanne Woodward (1931/1930): Been in the late stages of dementia for damn years. Still seem undestructible.

14)Leslie Phillips (1924): More a cadaver than a person.

You seem to be suggesting that they are the same person.
