I’ve worked in the NHS for 30 years and about 5 years of that working with cancer services and I’ve never even heard of angiosarcoma.

angiosarcoma

I may be wrong, but I think it was the cancer which Bullheart suffered from.

You're absolutely right, it was cardiac and skeletal angiosarcoma...

Genuinely heartbroken to learn that Bongo Wende has died at only 65. One of the very, very great Congolese guitarists, a massive star in Africa and among the Congolese diaspora.

Am interesting read (including the cultural “warnings”) Goldstone, one of his last, is a great film.

Just read about this.
Stormboy was as much one of my childhood Christmas holiday tv regulars as StarWars, Roger Moore-era Bond films, The Magnificent Seven and Von Ryan's Express.
RIP Fingerbone.

37 years with Parkinson’s, that must have been an incredibly difficult illness to live with for that amount of time.

It's easy to forget that he was only 23 when he joined Liverpool (having been in Arsenal's double winning team at 20!), but only 10 years later Parkinson's was affecting his game.
Not an easy personal or business life after that either.
RIP.

Genius composer Alvin Lucier.
