I love Manhattan Transfer! He will be missed, though I hope he can be replaced.

Oscar de la Renta's wife Annette was named legal guardian for centenarian Brooke Astor, who was suffering from Alzheimer's. Astor's son was convicted of improper use of his mother's trust funds and accused of maltreatment of his mother. When Astor's estate was finally probated in 2011 or 2012, Annette inherited some of Astor's things, but channeled everytiong to charity. Astor's grandson, who testified against his father, is an advocate against elder abuse.

I remember Alvin Stardust very well, didn't he represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest at one point?
I'm quite intrigued by Keith Richards' comment there. I can't say I'd have him down as any kind of rock 'n roll great. But he was fun enough 
RIP

Oh no, now I remember. He *tried* to represent us in Eurovision in the old qualification rounds of 'a song for Europe' but failed. I recall now, because I was amused that quite a few years later when he quietly released his contending song once presumably the record company thought noone would remember…

Due Date (writer: "The White Room") [2010]
Plus numerous TV and documentary uses.
Long after people have stopped listening to their Cream recordings*,
Hollywood and television will still be recycling their music. It's
something to think about.
*Miley and Beyonce and Justin and One Direction and all the other latest superstars seem to be getting most of the attention, after they have faded away, someone else will take their place....
