Tough news. Only Garth left of the five, and he seems to be a recluse.

Whilst speaking ill of the dead isn’t to be encouraged, I was disappointed when Levon especially called Robbie out for claiming the publishing royalties for the majority of The Band’s songs, when they were collborative efforts. I think they did reconcile before Levon died.

Jamie Reid - A designer best known for the S*x Pistols record sleeves.

Apparently, he designed and had printed the first sleeve for a SP record in Aberdeen, which wasn't used.

I've only just learned that Rodriguez, made famous-ish by the cracking movie "Searching for Sugarman" passed away earlier this week.
Only 66 (I think) or thereabouts.

The online Guardian headline had a picture of him with the caption "Michael Parkinson, shot by Jane Brown" (it's now been changed to "photographed"). Sure he'd have found it funny.

Former Manchester City player and chairman Franny Lee is deid at 79.

Probably as famous for the on field fight with Norman Hunter, which carried on after they were sent off, as anything else in his fitba career.
