Bobby Womack, ‘Across 110th Street’ singer, dead at 70 By Associated Press, Canada.com June 28, 2014 6:29 AM Bobby Womack, a colorful and highly influential R&B singer-songwriter who influenced artists from the Rolling Stones to Damon Albarn, has died. He was 70. Womack’s publicist Sonya Kolowrat said Friday that the singer had died, but she could provide no other details. With an incomparable voice few could match, Womack was a stirring singer and guitarist in his own right and a powerful songwriter whose hits like “Across 110th Street,” “If You Think You’re Lonely Now” and “I Wish He Didn’t Trust Me So Much” captured the imagination of future stars in rock ‘n’ roll and R&B. “He had a style that nobody else could ever capture,” longtime friend, gospel singer Candi Staton, said in a statement. “I loved him and I will miss him so, so very much.” In a statement, musician Peter Gabriel said: “I’m very sad to learn of Bobby Womack’s death … His songs and his voice have been so much a part of the fabric of so many musical lives. In recent years, it was great to see Richard Russell and Damon Albarn bringing his music back into our attention. He was a soul legend. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends at this time.” Womack’s death comes as something of a surprise. Though he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease two years ago and overcame addiction and multiple health issues, including prostate and colon cancer, recently, he seemed in good health and spirits when he performed earlier this month at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. He told the BBC in 2013 the Alzheimer’s diagnosis came after he began having difficulty remembering his songs and the names of people he had worked with. And there have been many. The soul singer cut a wide path through the music business as a performer and songwriter in a career that spanned seven decades. Womack was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, long after he’d lost his fortune and his career to addiction. He spoke of kicking his substance abuse problems in a 2012 interview with The Associated Press and all the friends he’d lost to drugs over the years. “I think the biggest move for me was to get away from the drug scene,” Womack said. “It wasn’t easy. It was hard because everybody I knew did drugs. … They didn’t know when to turn it off. So for me looking at Wilson Pickett, close friends of mine, Sly Stone, Jim Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and I can go on and on and on, and I say all of them died because of drugs.” According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website, Womack was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and sang gospel music at a young age, performing with his brothers in The Womack Brothers. Under the influence of gospel and R&B legend Sam Cooke, who signed the group to his personal label, Womack moved into secular music. In the early 1960s his group recorded “It’s All Over Now,” which was covered and by the Stones and became the band’s first number-one hit. His songs have been recorded by multiple artists, and he played as a session musician in Memphis in the 1960s. Albarn and XL Recordings president Richard Russell helped Womack regain his career with 2012 comeback album “The Bravest Man in the Universe.” The album was a departure for Womack, full of electronic music and beats. But it was lauded by critics for a simple reason: That distinctive voice of his still brought chills. “I don’t think he ever really thought that he would do anything again,” Albarn said of Womack in March. “Watching his rehabilitation and watching his ability to confront new material and new challenges was nothing short of miraculous at the time, and he still today continues to battle his demons and his illness. But he’s a beautiful person and when he opens his mouth and that voice comes out, it is something that is somehow touched by God.” http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/music/Bobby+Womack+Across+110th+Street+singer+dead/9984886/story.html Edited by Joffa: 28/6/2014 11:08:21 PM

My older sister has it worse as she lost both her parents in bad ways (her mum died in a fire ). Not knowing why he was murdered is the hard part and knowing the person is walking the streets of the Philippines is frightening . Couldn't even imagine that mate. Such a rough trot for you and your family. All I can say is that I hope you find a way to grieve appropriately so that you can move on a build your life on your new family here. Murder is one of those things that feels so removed for many of us in Australia, just unfathomable until it hits you personally or those around you I guess. Sorry to hear all this mate, real rough go.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/751375.htmlA throwback to cricket in the 70s Australian All rounder Gary Gilmour passed away this week, he was 62 Back in the days when cricket was a mere "vocation", Gilmour used to smoke a pack of cigarettes 'out the back' in the run before the game, because he was 'just warming up' Interesting to hear the options of sports he had as a boy at school, Rugby League, Tennis or Cricket (no sokkah, or AFL) He played 15 test matches and averaged 23 with bat and got 50 wickets Just listening to an archival interview and him telling his stories and players testimonials, it sounds like he was a guy who was a bit of a "Dead set ledge"! :lol:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/rik-mayall-dead-comedian-and-actor-dies-aged-56-9515603.html Quote:The comedian and actor Rik Mayall has died this morning at the age of 56, his agent has confirmed.
Born in Essex and raised in Worcester, Mayall starred alongside Adrian Edmonson in The Young Ones and went on to appear in Bottom, The New Statesman and as Flashheart in Blackadder.
He was left seriously ill after a quad bike accident in 1998 which left him in a coma for several days, but was working until recently. A spokeswoman confirmed that the actor died at his home in London.
Mayall and Edmonson met at Manchester University, and formed an on-stage duo known as The Dangerous Brothers. They found fame with The Young Ones in two six-part series running from 1982 to 1984.
Playing an obnoxious, would-be anarchist called Rick, Mayall contributed to the rise of alternative TV comedy throughout the 1980s.
The pair revived their collaboration in the early 1990s with the slapstick and schoolboy comedy Bottom, before Mayall made a number of memorable cameos in the BBC series Blackadder.
Appearing alongside Rowan Atkinson in the second and fourth series as the lecherous Lord Flashheart, he crashed into scenes shouting catchphrases such as "Woof!" and "Let's do it!".
In 1998, Mayall had to be kept alive on a life-support machine for five days following an accident involving a quad bike.
Speaking about the incident last year, the comedian said doctors were about to turn it off the machine when he began to show signs of life.
He used to mark the occasion every year by exchanging presents with his wife and children and said the near-death experience changed his life.
He said: "The main difference between now and before my accident is I'm just very glad to be alive.
"Other people get moody in their forties and fifties - men get the male menopause. I missed the whole thing. I was just really happy."
Mayall's management, Brunskill, issued a statement today saying: "We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Rik Mayall who passed away this morning."
It said that Mayall's family would be given time before a further statement is released in due course.
Among those paying tribute today was the Blackadder producer John Lloyd, who said Mayall was "just extraordinary".
He told BBC News: "It's really a dreadful piece of news.
"I remember going to the very first night of the Comedy Store and thinking 'Where does this come from?'.
"It was the most extraordinary thing, him and Ade Edmondson doing the Dangerous Brothers, they were called, and you just felt you were in the presence of something, a whole revolutionary thing."
BBC director of television Danny Cohen said: "Rik Mayall was a truly brilliant comedian.
"His comic timing was outstanding and his screen presence unique. For a generation of viewers he was a true comedy hero."
Mayall is survived by his wife, Barbara, and three children. [youtube]Shk8HawnCTs[/youtube] :( Edited by petszk: 10/6/2014 02:13:31 AM

Richmond's four-time premiership coach Tom Hafey dies aged 82 •Former Tigers coach dies after cancer diagnosis •'Tommy means so much to Richmond' theguardian.com, Monday 12 May 2014 20.47 AEST Tom HafeyTom Hafey with his wife Maureen at a media event in 2013. Photograph: Joe Castro/AAP Image Tom Hafey, the coach who led Richmond to four premierships, has died of cancer at the age of 82. Richmond confirmed in a statement on the club website that Hafey died on Monday. The Tigers chief executive, Brendon Gale, called Hafey a giant of the club. "Tommy means so much to Richmond – he has had an enormous influence on so many people connected with the club,” said Gale. "His coaching achievements at Tigerland are legendary, and he was a constant source of inspiration to the yellow and black. Tommy was a fine example of how to get the most out of life. "His mantra of hard work, discipline, dedication, persistence, honesty, loyalty, integrity, good health and vitality, was not only the recipe for success on the football field, but success in his wonderful life.” The Tigers plan to pay tribute to Hafey at Saturday's game against Melbourne at the MCG. After playing 67 games for Richmond as a back pocket in the 1950s, Hafey became their coach in 1966 and was a central figure in the club's golden era. He coached Richmond to the 1967, 1969, 1973 and 1974 premierships, placing a big emphasis on player fitness. Hafey was named the coach for Richmond's team of the century and is one of five club immortals. He left the Tigers after crucially losing the support of club powerbroker Graeme Richmond and joined Collingwood. After finishing last for the first time in 1976, the Magpies flourished under Hafey – the first outsider to coach the club. They had the historic grand final draw against North Melbourne that season before losing the decider. Under Hafey, the Magpies's notorious "Colliwobbles" continued when they also suffered narrow grand final losses to Carlton in 1979 and 1981. He was sacked midway through the 1982 season. After coaching Geelong for 56 games between 1983 and 85, Hafey took over Sydney under owner Geoffrey Edelsten. He coached the Swans for 70 games from 1986-88, his last AFL coaching appointment. Hafey then became a long-time radio commentator and was one of the game's most beloved figures. Away from the AFL, Hafey became renowned for his passion for fitness and an early-morning workout regime that would have worn out many people much younger than him. In late April, it emerged that Hafey was back in hospital with complications after having surgery the month before to have a brain tumour removed. Hafey is survived by his wife Maureen, children Rhonda, Karen and Jo and their extended family. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/may/12/richmond-tom-hafey-coach-dies
