The "which famous person died today" thread

[mexico1970]

Nope. My Genesis love in started in late 70s when I first heard
Follow you, follow me.......even now ,to this day,the opening keyboard riffs to that song bring tears to my eyes.....I listened to it, on ,my little radio,same radio I heard that Tommy Booth had scored in the 86th minute at Peterborough, and of course the Paul Power goal at Villa Park,1981....I digress. ( I'm pissed)
I had no idea about early Genesis. I got a job in the Civil service and met a man called Mick Swannell. He leant me the album Seconds Out.
As a young west indian man,I'd never heard of the old stuff. It blue me away.i heard Suppers ready for the first time..that was it.i them delved deep into the back catalogue, and found music, of such high quality I was blown away. Ie ...Sellinging England by the Pound album.........
I'll stop here. Or I'll be on all night, off topic
I love Genesis . Brilliant musicians.

That’s a shame, although I had no idea he was that old. I was never too much of a Dangermouse fan as I was too old by then, but Chorlton and the Wheelies (late 70s) was more my time and incredibly good.

Sad, he will have formed many a person's childhood of a certain age. Cosgrove Hall were legendary makers of a lot of 70's and 80's classic animation.

Henk Potts died today. Not exactly famous but if you listened to talksport around ten years ago and, more latterly, LBC, he was the financial guy on that.

50 years of age.

Oh no - he was great to listen to in the mornings. Particularly loved the way he ripped Ronnie Irani apart many a time. Ronnie was way too thick to even realise Henk was taking the piss out of him.

Proper young to go that

That's a shock tbh.
What did he die of?
