The Dead Thread

[Donald Twain]

Was that the voodoo one? It was no Cannibal Ferox in fairness.

The original Nightmare on Elm Street or Last House on the Left for me.

Yeah it was that one.

...Joy Beverley of Beverley Sisters fame reported to have died aged 91. Probably means little to folk on here unless you are old like me. One of the Beverley sisters was married to England football captain Billy Wright, before the WAG days and a precedent for Posh and Becks.

Not a celebrity or anything, but a kid I knew and played football with a few years ago, was 18, died yesterday in a car crash together with his 14 year old buddy, I've just found out... 19 year old driver and his girlfriend are unharmed, the other two were on the back seat.

Sad thing to see, may they rest in peace.

Probably not famous enough to warrant his own thread, but Bryn Merrick (ex bass player from the Damned) has just passed away.
Legend has it that he got the job as bass player because he learnt the entire back catalogue of songs in one night and always bought all the drinks. One of my top 3 favourite musicians.

Ralph Milne died the other day. 56.

He was that quite dreadful winger that Fergie bought from Bristol City for about £240000 years ago. If he didnt change his, er, "diet", after he stopped playing, guessing the ale did for him. @Eggs

Just realised Max Baer (Jethro) is the last survivor of the cast of the Beverley Hillbillies. Donna Douglas (May Clampett) died in January 2015

Time flies... From this.... to this.

Scored the opening goal against Dundee in the game that won Dundee Utd the league title for the first time in their history.
Goes down as a legend of the game in my eyes.

On this day 45 years ago The Wind Cried Mary and I Don't Live Today became a self-fulfilling prophesy.

The Voodoo Child made a Slight Return to the Redhouse in the sky.

RIP Hendrix

Forever missed but never forgotten.

Art critic Brian Sewell dies aged 84

Art critic Brian Sewell has died aged 84, it has been confirmed.

Sewell was the art critic at the London Evening Standard newspaper for more than 30 years, and was well known for his outspoken and often controversial views.

He had been suffering from cancer.

In a 2012 interview with the BBC he said art was something "that brings people like me to life" and said he became an art critic "by accident".

He had been offered a place to read history at Oxford but he turned it down, preferring to study for a degree in art history from the Courtauld Institute, where he was tutored by the art historian Anthony Blunt.

Sewell then began his career at Christie's auction house in the 1950s.
