Ken Hensley, the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with 70s rock band Uriah Heep, has died aged 75. His press representative said he had died “peacefully following a very short illness”. His Uriah Heep bandmate Mick Box said he was in “deep shock … Ken wrote some amazing songs in his tenure with the band, and they will remain a musical legacy that will be in people’s hearts forever.” His brother Trevor wrote on Facebook: “His beautiful wife Monica was at his side and comforted Ken in his last few minutes with us. We are all devastated by this tragic and incredibly unexpected loss.” As well as playing guitar and keyboards with the band – and helping popularise the latter instrument as part of an emerging harder rock sound – Hensley penned and sang lead vocals for one of the band’s key tracks, the stirring folk-rock song Lady in Black. He also wrote Easy Livin’, which was a hit across Europe in 1972, as well as a large number of the band’s other songs.

“One of the most iconic American and Canadian television personalities and host of Jeopardy...” “Who is Alex Trebek?” RIP. **** cancer.
Quite a big tv personality in the States and Canada. My relatives always tuned into Jeporady. Which wasn't half as good as say The Chase.

Tony Waiters (1 February 1937 – 5 November 2020) was an England international football goalkeeper and Canadian national football team head coach (manager). Waiters, who managed the Vancouver Whitecaps to an NASL championship, was in charge when Canada qualified for the 1986 World Cup finals, which was their only time in the finals. I had the pleasure and privilege to meet Tony on a number of occasions- a lovely man. I also saw him play for Blackpool against Liverpool in the mid sixties.
There is a really sad obituary in the Mail today about him. Taken too soon and sounded a great bloke too. Strangely enough first song I put on today was Van Morrison Days Like This RIP Graham
