A friend saw Ozzie in the mall, said he looked like a zombie. Zombies are already dead, so it cant be him.
I saw Arthur Brown a month or two ago, and I can tell you he will probably outlive most of us (and I am not even 40 yet)
Not the ones who already died. It's less emotionally risky to like them. I'm going to get very into Burl Ives. Look how young he is here:
Next time be more careful...
Mythos, that's a dreadful outlookreally awful, I don't want to think about that
I can't tell you how devastated I am by this news:
http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/201...-dies-aged-66/
Gilli Smyth will turn 83 this upcoming summer.
Jimmy Hastings (Canterbury reeds player) will turn 78.
Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru (plus countless) will be 76 this year.
Hans-Joachim Roedelius (of Cluster, Harmonia and more) is 81.
Don Preston is 83!
David LaFlamme (It's a Beautiful Day) is 75.
I wouldn't know how old Steve Howe is.

Klaus Doldinger (Passport) will be 80 in may.
I'm glad he's dead! All the drugs must finally have caught up with him.
Is news of your death exaggerated?

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
“I was sorry to have my name mentioned as one of the great authors, because they have a sad habit of dying off. Chaucer is dead, Spencer is dead, so is Milton, so is Shakespeare, and I’m not feeling so well myself.”
Mark Twain
Do you even know where he is buried?
I'm a big fan of silent/very early talkie films and many of those stars have lived to their late 90s.
He turns an even thousand years old next Wednesday.
Bet he's got a really flattering portrait in his attic.He turns an even thousand years old next Wednesday.
Well, people then can 'die young' compared to him:He turns an even thousand years old next Wednesday.

Perhaps, but have you ever known anyone to recover from threadbaring disease?
I don't think so.
Ex bass player for DIO died.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
His name is Jimmy Bain.

Yuz, the bass howler from Rising by Rainbow - the one album that levitated my mind from Kizz-y silliness into a full-blown rock fan back when I was 10 years old. The fact that he played on "Stargazer" alone should serve to hallow his nomen.

Indeed, the hairs on my arms still stand on end when Stargazer comes on.

I saw him about 6 months ago with the Grandmothers. Fantastic performance, other than his vocals.
Now we can ad Edgar Froese to the list.
