For some reason it was a top ten story on BBC News today. I imagine someone then posted it on here, APOrby made his comment, then the original post was removed.

At a guess.

[ApOrbital]

Correct as i thought i was going mad yes he deleted the post.

Yep.

82 though. So not short changed. No pun intended. An acquaintance I once knew used to knock about with him when he was part of the Minitones. By all accounts a top gent. RIP.

[Digger]

I don't expect anyone to believe me but that was a pure guess on my part. I've honestly just googled "minitones" to see who has unfortunately passed on.

His age seems to change between headlines and the reports from various sources, even the bbc can't seem to pin his age down. Born in 1934, makes him 82 surely, but reports say either 81 or 83 or quote 83 in their headline yet within the text say he's 81.
