James T Ellis, who belted out the refrain Burn, baby burn! in a 1970s-era disco hit that is still replayed in modern sports arenas, has died. He was 74.

Aye, colon cancer...it's a bummer!
Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

Although Ronnie Montrose was suffering from cancer at the time of his death, it has now been revealed that he actually died due to a self inflicted gunshot wound.

Wouldn't they have noticed the big hole in his head at the time of his death?

One of Buddy Holly's Crickets, bass player Joe B. Mauldin, might be worth keeping an eye on:
Quote
Mauldin is dealing with a health issue and wants his privacy respected. On Thursday, Curtis [another Cricket] said in an email, “He is having surgery in a few days and cannot go to Cleveland.

Another saxophonist blows away. Tommy Marth

But blaming me is blaming God;

..he is sharp and aware, his speech is fine, and all of the nurses and doctors have commented on his unique sense of humor, The bad news is that he cannot move the right side of his body and will be in for some serious rehab. They will be giving him more tests tomorrow to determine the extent of the damage.

Singer Bobby Vee's website has been updated - in almost Banshee-esque prose - to announce that he is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
More here.

Just read the link above. Vee's wife is in as bad a shape as him, and needs a lung transplant. Would she get qualifying obits for points on US dead pools?
