Marie Fredriksson, singer with Roxette, 61.

So young. I liked them back in the day.

My teenage crush.

RIP

Very sad, She'd clearly been ill for some time. "Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus!" was the best name for a greatest hits collection from a band that just made good pop songs and were pretty proud of it. Going to go to bed whistling a private tune...

I think the BBC said that she'd been battling cancer for 17 years. Terrible.

Which would go some way to explain, but not excuse, the unkind comments re her losing her looks,
as if a woman in her 50s should look the same as she did in her 20s.

It must have been love....but it’s over now.

RIP Marie - a shocker a year younger than me too soon.

David Bellamy

[mickk]

Nooooo

[Laurel Green]

[ApOrbital]

Sad news. Bellamy was a one off.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Very sad new indeed.

Another part of my childhood gone

[loughran]

I grew up watching David Bellamy and loved him. He seemed to disappear as a broadcaster but I don't remember when. A quick Google suggests he thought the human race not responsible for global warming or climate change. Did his views become too unpopular ?

That was the reason I heard somewhere. May have even been on PH.

An unpopular view.

Massive shame.

Yep. He was ostracised as his views did not fit the “script” being pushed by those in power.😡

[loughran]

Greta would hate him... but there's every chance he was right.

Who got him?

[mintybiscuit]

A real shame. He was a literary and Tv hero of mine through the '70s and '80s.
He was old though !
For some reason , this came to mind !!

Oh... I also agree with him. But that is for a different thread.

When with BA, Roxette were on my flight down to South Africa. All the crew recieved a glossy signed photo of the band.
