Like they say ''lifes a bitch'' and it seems relentless at the moment ...it makes me acutely aware as my mates are gradually slipping away one by one,we're going down to Poole on Friday to an old mate's funeral, and I've got to say without any humour that I'm finding the Autumn of my life extremely worrying at the moment :(

62. short but brave battle with cancer

No age at all to many of us.

I have a friend aged 68 just diagnosed with prostate cancer. The doctor told him with treatment he should live another 15 years.

Very talented musician 
Loved his music during the 80's
Apparently, there is a massive collection of stuff he recorded but never published so expect a album or two to be released in the future.

Not really given the American origin of the list... also a reassuring number of people over 80, and a good proportion of car crashes, natural causes, freak accidents...

Presumably he's still dead then?

The list Aaron referred to covers the last twelve months and obviously a few million people short of being a complete list... didn't include Linda Bellingham or a girl I used to work with either...

I can feel a list coming on, and I wonder of Ladbrokes or BetFred will take bets ?  ;D

Person   - Kick it within 3 months  - Odds

One funny thing is that the guitarist Wilko Johnson was diagnosed with something 'orrible, was fully expected to kick it, made a remarkable recovery and is now playing again !
