The Last Chancer Who Survived





Norristown, PA

I'm a huge metal fan, yet I've always loved the Monkees. Lots of great music that even to this day doesn't sound dated or old-peopleish. I kinda grew up with their reruns before I got hooked on the Transformers.

Sucks to see another one go :(

Sad to report, but it seems Mark Hollis, singer of Talk-Talk has passed away. Reports thin on the ground, nothing on the BBC but the Grauniad is reporting it so I think it is genuine.

If you haven't heard of Talk-Talk, go to Youtube immediately, do not pass go, do not collect £200

Saw an article the other day (can't remember exactly when, but not seen in this thread), that Dick Churchill passed away.

His lay on fame was as the last surviving member of the RL "Great Escape" crew.

Probably gonna do the same here. Saw in a Guardian article that he apparently committed suicide. Absolutely not passing judgement, but I do hope that further reports shed more light into the situation (a la, Robin Williams and the issues we really didn't know about)

Yes, he did.

And 52 feels a little on the young side for this kind of illness/death too.

Or maybe not?

Scary stuff, potentially.

He was quite an unlucky individual by all accounts. Survived several near-fatal car accidents, ended up having the lower part of his leg amputated due to illness, suffered from drug addiction and financial ruin too.
