Post by: Rik on November 24, 2011, 12:11: I can't believe so much time has passed, I listen to his music a lot, and think of what might have been. :cry:

Post by: Simon on November 24, 2011, 12:37: Indeed, he certainly would have had a lot more to give. What's even more tragic is that if he'd only lasted a couple more years, there would have been drugs available to treat him. That said, I wonder what sort of life he would have had, and would he have been happy if he hadn't been able to live it to the full?

If you think that's bad, it's Chorley Xmas Lights switch-on tonight and I've just had Black Lace singing Agadoo live under my front windows! Now the're doing "I am the music man". I thought The Tweenies did that one, :ack:

Post by: chorleydave on November 24, 2011, 19:08: Well, the lights are finally on. Some geezer I've never heard of from Coronation Street did the honours. I live in the building on the corner, so there's no escape!
