@JC Fuck, saw them when they were here in Feb. Really good show (the "new" lead singer is an arse - jokes about CWC final had cups thrown at him - and he reacted like some tough guy which he clearly isn't).
Great band and Misex were fantastic too.

Misex? Did they dig up a singer?

"Dig up" - nice, well sort of.
Yeah, and he was bloody brilliant too. Steve Balbi, a kind of Johnny Depp lookalike character. Would go and see them again anytime.

Aw c'mon. I've been waiting 30 years to use that joke.

And now Deane Sutherland from Satellite Spies has died too, of some shitty skin cancer at 58. I met Deane a long time ago and he was a good guy. It was a real shame he and Mark fell out. SS was a quintessential 80s band. Their sound has dated a bit but I still break it out occasionally. RIP Deane.

Roy, of Siegfried and Roy, has died aged 75. Covid-19 complications apparently.
Was he the one that got bitten by the tiger a few years back?
Yes. Lucky to live then too.

I have read some wild stories about what he and fellow deviant Buddy Holly used to get up to.
Rumored that Holly was hung like a donkey and they used to bring groupies backstage just on the premise of showing them the freak show.

@Godder Motown spawned a ridiculous number of rock n roll titans
I'm trying to get the Motown reference. What am I missing?
Don't mind me I've got it quite wrong

Prince and Jimi Hendrix wouldn't have existed as they were if it weren't for Little Richard so massive kudos to him for influencing two of my all time favourite artists.
