Seymour Stein. Someone not so much ahead of his time but definitely within it.

Nigel Lawson, as of this evening.

While I disagreed with his politics it will be interesting to see and hear the accounts of those who worked with him and in opposition to him. It was a period of significant economic change.

For the Tories I imagine he ranks highly in their ‘best chancellors’ hierarchy.

The Beach Boys put through a meat grinder was how he described the Ramones, or something like that.

I don't believe he's dead, like he didn't believe in climate change.

Paul Cattermole from S Club 7

46 is too young regardless the cause, but I hope it's nothing to do with the toxic bile that came his way after the band recently announced a reunion.
A couple of years younger than me, understandably his physique, like mines, doesn't resemble a young 20 year old that was once promoting music through tours & PA's with high energy routines.
Yeah, the guy has gained a few stone but bloody hell, the taunts on social media were shocking!

Jeez I missed this. That’s really sad to hear. I have quite a few Yellow Magic Orchestra albums and some of the soundtracks he created were masterpieces. Hugely talented guy. RIP.

Saw him playing in the Fringe about 6 years ago. Maybe close to his last live performances. At that time the rumour was he had Alzheimers.Sadly true. His family (reluctantly)recently sold the guitar amp combo used in Wuthering Heights. The proviso was it went to players, not a museum. RIP.

A woman to whom all straight men in the 60's owe so much.

Mark Stewart, of the Pop Group and solo performer.

Mark Stewart is an artist, vocalist, producer, and songwriter from Bristol. As a founding member of The Pop Group and as a soloist, Stewart has remained an anarchic and pioneering figure since the punk era, a constant source of discordance amongst the frontiers of post-punk, dub, industrial and electronic music.

I used to like his Barry McKenzie cartoons about ex-pat Aussies in Earl's Court. Baz was always on a fruitless quest to exercise his "one-eyed trouser snake"!

Len Goodman.

Harry Belafonte. Not only a singer and actor, but also a very active civil rights campaigner, close friend and supporter of Martin Luther King. Quite a guy, it has to be said. RIP.

Shame must have been some age. Songs to make you dance ha. As you say a great civil rights activist and a thorn in the Republics side
