    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.

    Wow, like Kenny Rogers I legitimately thought he’d died years ago.....

    RIP though. What a massive influence on music as we know it today.

    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.
    Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll!

    I'm trying to get the Motown reference. What am I missing?

    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.

    Was pleasantly surprised to see Dame Vera Lynn was still going strong at the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. RIP

    RIP. My sons were both suitably creeped out when it was revealed he wasn’t human in Alien. Fantastically creepy performance.

    Constable Matthew Dennis Hunt, 28, died 19 June 20 at the hands of a mindless thug. RIP.
