I know Lynda Bellingham isn't to do with music, but it's tragic that we've lost her as well. A good actress with a naughty twinkle in her eye in my opinion..

R.I.P. Bernard William Jewry a.k.a. Shane Fenton a.k.a. Alvin Stardust http://www.alvinstardust.com/
I can recommend his Wikipedia page too if you're a musical minutiae fan like me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Stardust
On a positive note, Wilco Johnson has declared himself "free of cancer" today, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/peopl ... 11724.html which is bloody good news in my book.
