Olivia Newton-John has died, aged 73.
She fought the big "C" for nigh on 30 years. Raised squillions for research into it. But remembered by most for "those black trousers".
RIP Olivia.
I will forever remember ONJ..RIP

Lamont Dozier - of Motown songwriting trio Holland, Dozier & Holland. So many hits did they write and so much good music to dance to (when I could still dance). Motown, the best record label ever IMO.
RIP Lamont - write a few for the angels to sing

That's a shock. Great rugby player and commentator. Only 65, younger than me, which always makes it scary.
