    Curse Of The Eurovision

    I read an interview today with Thérèse Steinmetz, second to last at 1967 Eurovision for The Netherlands. She still performs and I've never seen a better looking 90 year old (but well, most likely not all natural) - Greetje Kauffeld (#10 in 1961, 84 now) is interviewed as well and is also still in good shape.

    Passed-Punks & No-Wavers

    It was once again pretty quiet on the Pere Ubu front (they released a new album but did only a few shows) so I decided to look for any updates.. And i found an update from David Thomas a few days ago. There has been a lot going on, he married his gf/manager, he's been in the hospital and has had operations which were like hell.

    Leo Beenhakker

    With the new year approaching i decided it was a good opportunity to look for any clues about Beenhakkers current health.. but no news at all.. no new pictures, no new interviews, not even a response when Feyenoord won the Eredivisie. So we need an insider...

    Jack Nicholson

    Adler turned 90 yesterday. Last week he was present at the Lakers together with Ray Nicholson. No sign of Jack (but maybe he'll only show up for the playoffs)

    Shane MacGowan

    Looks like Maurice was sitting front row.

    5. Pope Francis

    I think it's good to have some people on the list that make a lot of public appearances, so we'll have something to talk about. A list full of celebrities living off radar and then suddenly dying is not much fun issit?

    Bernie Ecclestone

    Didn't see any video yet, but he was walking around on his own (without cane) at the Brazil GP yesterday and talking to reporters.

    The Dutch

    Henk Hofstede, singer of Nits (artpop with quite some european fame in the 80's thanks to MTV, as well as 'the band I've seen most often in my life') and friend of Vrienten and Rot, is suffering from a rare autoimmune disease. Wants to continue performing, but not sure if he can.

    Time Added

    He gave an interview last night in which he revealed he recently had another operation with a lot of complications. Right now he needs to keep rest for two more weeks.

    FIFA World Cup Players

    Jan Jongbloed has died: https://nos.nl/artikel/2488668-voormalig-oranje-doelman-jan-jongbloed-82-overleden . He played professionally until he had a heart attack during a match at the age of 44. A year before his son (21) died while he was stuck by lightning during a football match.

    Professional Cyclists

    Jan Janssen looked really youthful for many years, but after his liver cancer in 2015 he looks more his age. But he still does interviews and did the kick off of his own Jan Janssen classic earlier this year.

    Death By Jazz

    I read about a new live recording of a John Coltrane concert and wondered how many jazz musicians that played with Coltrane are still alive. Wikipedia gave me the names of Albert Heath (88, who played on his first album als a band leader) Julius Priester (88) and Reggie Workman (86). He played (once) with Sonny Rollins as well. But how many more are there? Edit: Found some more: Kenny Burrell (91), Louis Hayes (86), Roy Haynes (98), Archie Shepp (86), Carlos Ward (83).
