Gogi Grant has died at 91. http://www.savingcountrymusic.com/gogi-grant-queen-of-the-wayward-wind-has-passed-away/

 

Wayward Wind (#1US; #9UK): https://youtu.be/fMBkx4_cs9U

 

She was suggested here by Bobm as a possibility for 2016: http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8444&p=244971, but nobody picked her for the DDP.

Saw them in concert in Brum 3 years ago.

 

 

Saw them at Ramblin' Man last summer - really impressed.

C'est la vie.

DAMN!!

 

Another shocker in the music industry. I would have him on the same level as Bowie but certainly there with Frey and White.

 

Funeral for the Common Man...

Indeed. At his funeral, while his coffin is lowered into the sodden ground, he'll then be known as Keith Immersion.

Billy Zoom founding guitarist of X is currently receiving treatment for bladder cancer.

 

Anyone interested in donating to help with his medical fees can do so here http://www.gofundme.com/yx66a4

 

Saw them twice in the 80s. This sux. Get well mate

I can't find any details on the prognosis, but I'm assuming since they're only wishing to raise about $50,000 that the prognosis is promising.

Don't have a link but the official X Facebook page says he's back on stage performing and gives a handful of upcoming dates.

I prefer to give a handful of upcoming plums.

Blue Murder keyboardist Nik Green died last night (March 13) after what his former bandmate Tony Franklin called “a brave battle with cancer."

 

He's feeling a little more Blue than Green now.

I was going to say, after reading the obit, he sounds like nobody. I know it's a slow obit day (two days really) what with the Reaper enjoying some corned beef & cabbage, but I'm agreeing with the tumbleweed sentiment. It'll pickup tomorrow, I promise. Fringes of Fame maybe, being Questlove's dad?

 

While we are on the topic of The Roots -- my daughter LOVED Yo Gabba Gabba, and The Roots were on one of the shows playing a song (circa 2010). They had a token white dude who played bass. Now (circa 2015) they're big-time they boot che' whitey from the band? Cuz he sure as shit ain't with them any more. Hey -- just putting it out there. lol

Dutch DJ Howard Kaii dies in a traffic accident in Thailand. He crashed with a motorbike without wearing a helmet. He died at the scene. Never heard of the geezer, and I'm Dutch by the way, but apparently he was spinning with the likes of Paul van Dyk, Pete Tong and Judge Jules of Ministry of Sound. So that's counts.

Prince writes his memoirs:

 

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/mar/19/prince-memoir-2017-release-the-beautiful-ones

 

In my opinion, he could die any day of some kind of freaky, embarrassing accident. Though in this case, he was apparently made an offer he couldn't refuse.

 

He announced it at some kind of event in New York City. Also in attendance, Harry Belafonte.
