DEADPOOL 2021

Former Big Brother star Nikki Grahame has died at the age of 38.
The TV personality had checked into a private hospital last month as she fought an eating disorder, and friends started a fund-raising page to to pay for her treatment.

I just saw that and such a shame as so young as well

That is a shame. She was one of the only real people on BB. She said whatever was in her head, no matter how silly it may have been. That made you like her. She was a personality for real.
 
Songwriter Jim Steinman has passed away aged 73. Steinman penned the mini operatic album Bat Out Of Hell for Meat Loaf, which is ranked as one of the top three best selling albums in the UK.

Amazingly, it still sells around 200,000 copies per year despite being released 44 years ago. Here is a taster:

Fascinating story of Les McKeown and the Bay City Rollers. They sold over 300 Million record albums world wide, yet ended up skint. Unbeknown to them, the manager was stealing nearly all the money, living the life of Riley and spending it like confetti. Millions and Millions of pounds. Les was in fact bisexual, although in the band's heyday, he concentrated on girls and women, as they were the ones throwing themselves at him. It's amazing he made it to 65, as he had a long history of drugs and alcohol.

I met the manager once at the nightclub I worked at in Edinburgh. Evil man.

He used to like waving shotguns about as well.
 
My wife saw the first incarnation of the Bay City Rollers "loads of times" in the early 70s at the JM ballroom in Dundee. This was before Les McKeown joined. The lead singer was Nobby Clark. Has any SZ member had wife's with similar skeletons in their closets. I think we should know.
