One Rubber Ball no longer bouncing back. RIP
Danny-Boy agrees, a sad loss. One of the solo artists drowned out by the Mersey Sound.

Sounded very unlikely to me - but there does appear to be evidence on t'internet to confirm it.

Can't imagine a young Bob Dylan being good enough to get a job as a pianist in someone else's band though - I mean, he was never particularly known for the excellence of his playing technique, was he, just that voice and the raw power of his songs.

Whilst not being disrespectful to Pete Burns, but he was a one hit wonder whose sad passing is all over the news.
But Vee sold millions and was massively popular in his time, AND gave Dylan a shoe up...yet his death is barely mentioned in despatches.
Fame defies logic sometimes.
Regardless, RIP to both.

Hardly! Dylan played piano in his band a few times before either of them got famous!
Genuine question, out of concern for one who is v close to me:
Q. Can one die with Alzeimers? I thought one died with Alzheimers? Can Alzeimers itself be fatal?

Either way, that was not really the main point of my post!

Always like The Night Has A Thousand Eyes - a great old song sung very well. RIP

Saw him at least half a dozen times. One of my favourite stars of the time. Very sad news, R.I.P Bobby

There are over 100 different forms of dimentia, two of which are fatal. Alzeimers and Picks Disease. It might be advisable to check with a GP.
