    Steve Priest of The Sweet has passed away, RIP. I still think 'Blockbuster' one of the all-time great pop/glamrock singles...

    Gerry the landlord of the ‘Crowne and Sceptre’, the meeting point for many of us, has sadly died.

    RIP mate

    Think I would recognise Gerry, but don’t think I ever chatted to him, the pub was always too crowded. RIP, the C&S is a proper London boozer, something to be proud of.

    Ricky Valance best known for his No. 1 "Tell Laura I love her" has passed away aged 84. Born David Spencer in Monmouthshire he became the first Welshman to have a solo No. 1 hit. The BBC also banned the song for a while branding it "tasteless" as the subject was death. RIP.

    Just heard that my old pal Bill Lavers has passed away. Bill had supported QPR since the 50s and had a season ticket for many years. Here's a photo taken in a hospitality box in the 90s with Danny Maddix. Bill is on the far right of the picture (I'm third from the left). RIP Sir Bill.

    Sorry to hear about your friend Stroller

    It was American singer Ritchie Valens (Oh Donna, La Bamba) who went down with Holly.
