Joey Russ 7,118 Posted July 2, 2017 Adele cancels the rest of what may be her final tour due to vocal chord damage. I think she's one to watch (as in not dying anytime soon but one to watch for in the next 20 years). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about posting that as well. The story is almost like that of Debbie Blackhurst, another gran-with-terminal-cancer. Meeting Adele was on her bucket list. She died early this year but didn't obit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,118 Posted July 4, 2017 Well, I don't think he'll make it to 70. I notice something in the article though. But he also says that he'd never been drunk until a 201 trip to Mexico Amazing. I think we found a time traveler... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno - he could see 70 easy because on those vices he may well get a warning by way of chest pains or the like and a stent and a good talking to later that five a day habit might make sense.

It's a bad year to be a former Felt bassist named Mick, as Mick Bund has now died. Played bass on The Pictorial Jackson Review, but here's a track from his band Mexico 70 which he fronted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
