Boyz N The Hood director John Singleton is going be taken off life support after suffering a stroke. Tragedy, only 51.

That is such a tragedy, Boyz N the Hood was a groundbreaking film, one of my all time favourite movies.

Boon Gould, guitarist in the original line up of Level 42 dies age 64. I know @davewebbsbrain will be particually upset as he's a fan. RIP Boon.

Steve Tilson is a fan as well I believe.

Saw them at the Cliffs in 2011, but I think only Mark 'wacky thumbs' King and Mike Lindup were there from the original line up. They were the absolute bollocks but failure to play 'Leaving Me Now' left a sour taste. Boon played a mean funky guitar - love the beginning of 'Living it Up'. RIP.

Seen them at the Cliffs a couple of times now. They never play too much old stuff, they seem to like a bit of the Sirens muskc, especially Build myself a rocket. I'd love to hear Mr. Pink live, the bass intro is out of the ball park.
Back to Boon, his given name is Roland, but as a baby he never cried, which his mum said was a real boon. The name stuck

Not someone I would think too many will grieve over, blotted his copy book quite a lot in later years.

Always found him funny in his day, but like many of that era the allegations was his downfall and rightly so

And like many of that era, no charge was ever brought.
Nothing like a bit of trial by social media mind.

Like Stuart Hall, Saville & Rolf Harris you mean?

Starr: On 10 July 2015, the High Court dismissed a claim for slander and libel that Starr had brought against the woman who had made the allegations relating to his appearance on Clunk Click in 1974.[29] The woman's claim was found to be true, but the case could not proceed because of the passage of time.[30] He emigrated to Spain, but denied this was due to the legal bill estimated at £1 million saying he had planned to move to Spain whatever the outcome of the court case.[31]

I couldn't be bothered to reply MK, thank you for doing so

No problem. Curious to why people defend a sex pest. There were plenty of celebrities of that era who kept their hands to themselves.

Never convicted.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Never convicted.

Only on a technicality.

 

[Firestorm]

Only on a technicality.

If there is no guilty verdict passed then that individual does not have a conviction....its not like Not Proven in Scotland which is "we know you are a wrong un, you know you're a wrong un , but we don't have enough evidence"

Criminally , it has to be beyond reasonable doubt , which it wasn't so no conviction.
In Civil law it is balance of probabilities' which is why the Libel case failed .

So basically, its more likely than not that he was a nonce.....but he is not a criminal
