Another one gone. Sad

I believe our Freddie had been ill for some time so this was not exactly unexpected. Auntie Beeb seems to be having problems with his age. The page from your link says he was 69 & the nice lady newsreader on BBC Radio 2 says he was 65. I think the nice lady is right. http://www.classicbands.com/dreamers.html

It's a strange, unfair, old World when 150 year-old Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones falls out of a Palm tree, lands on his head, and walks away almost unscathed....
...and poor Freddie doesn't even reach retirement age because of a lung infection*...!

...it's an arse... Cry

...!

Paul...8)...!

Steady on. He might look 150 years old but he's younger than me - and poor ol' Freddie.
Keith Richards (born 18 December 1943 in Dartford, Kent, England)

PS. Depending which paper you read that head injury might be more serious than they care to admit.
