It’s technically correct of course but he was in the band for three months and left way before even the 74 Jailbreak studio sessions. Did replace Phil Rudd when he bust his hand in 75 for a few shows though.

I was browsing the mix and saw a post about a user called Jonzy54 who has sadly passed away. I'm pretty sure it's the same guy who posted under Jonzy The Ref on here.

RIP

Yes, John Worthington. Sad news, was posting yesterday so very sudden.

 

[Tony Towner]

I can't pretend we didn't fall out on here over his love of the IPL, or ITK but not posting it info, however that's really sad. RIP John

 

[AndyWolves]

It turns out I used to work with Jonzy for a few years in the early 2000's. It's strange how these things work out sometimes.

Nobody famous he was another Auschwitz survivor, as always one step closer to passing out of living history.

Major Mike Sadler MC ( that’s military cross not a rappers sidekick) 103, was the last surviving member of the original SAS from the Second World War, as expected his life reads like a boys own action story.

Derek Draper, husband of Kate Garraway, passes away aged 56

Covid destroyed his life. Lucky to survive when he got it 4 years back but then has been fighting long covid since then and he recently suffered a cardiac arrest and because of the damage caused by his Covid infection it caused complications which have now ended his life.

Starsky and Hutch was a big part of my Saturday night viewing as a kid

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Salems Lot was brilliant too

 

[Kenny]

Salems Lot was brilliant too

Scared the shit out of me as a kid.



Still refuse to watch it again even though I know I would probably laugh at myself

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The film that scared the shit out of the young me was The Medusa Touch. Watched it again a few years ago and Richard Burton is still godlike but certainly not as scary as I remembered

Amazing piece of work. Still the scariest thing I've seen.
