Country Musician Toby Keith deid from stomach cancer, about 2 and a half years since diagnosis, and after revealing it in June 2022.

Somewhat surprised none of our professional ghouls had picked him.

I, @Melanius Mullarkant and @sparky88 would beg to differ. 

Points please!

You are amassing some amount of points. Could I just check your whereabouts on a few dates?

I suspect you've resorted to bumping your team off.

  Reveal hidden contents

I'm just jealous.

 

I’m finding it all rather disconcerting. Mid table mediocrity is the norm for me.

All round crazy fucker Mojo Nixon died on the Outlaw Country Cruise, an annual event where a lot of alt-country acts would go for a festival type week and play shows while everyone drank and had a great old time. Mrs W Anchor and I had talked about going on one of these, sounded a great time. I imagine this years is currently a bit more somber now thought Mojo would never have wanted it this way. He had a daily show on Sirius satellite radio Outlaw Country station where he would play great music while talking about getting high, wasted and watching Tar Heel basketball. We both lived in Carrboro, North Carolina at the same time though I never ran into him (it was a small town but still). Very, very sad to hear this but if by some miracle you get points from him good on you.

Damo Suzuki the Japanese singer with Krautrock group Can has died aged 74

Really gutted at this, their album Tago Mago is a big favourite of mine and I was lucky enough to see Can at Stirling Uni back in the 70s

Can't see anyone getting 125 for him.

Week 6 update

One death this week, singer Toby Keith: Toby Keith: Country music legend dies aged 62 - BBC News

Quote

Toby Keith, a major country music star who sold tens of millions of records, has died at the age of 62.

"[He] passed peacefully last night... surrounded by his family," a statement on his social media channels said.

Keith rose to fame in the 1990s with songs such as Should've Been a Cowboy which topped the country music chart.

He announced in June 2022 that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer, an illness the star said was "debilitating".

The statement said he "fought his fight with grace and dignity".

Over a more than 30-year career, hits including Who's Your Daddy and Made in America were enjoyed by millions. He is survived by his wife, Tricia Lucus, and three children.
