My Grandad was a bus driver and he passed quietly in his sleep, unlike his passengers...

Mum died last year at 89. Three last ten years of her life were a bit shit with each year getting a bit worse. The brain tumor op in the naughties was the start of it, she was left deaf on one ear with balance issues and vertigo. Osteoporosis set in and her back started to crumble. Her ankle broke in three places in 2020 and she spent a lot of the year in and out of hospital. In early 21 she was diagnosed with bowl cancer and passed away on October 28th. Thankfully my parents live in Ireland, the care mum received was superb, way above anything the NHS would have been able to offer.

It's kind of ironic that those behind some memorable music just drift off largely unnoticed by the great unwashed.

I remember Paul Brady saying he preferred things that way,as he reaped the financial rewards,but remained unpunished by the down sides of fame. Maybe Mr.Dozier liked that too.

That sort he was married to must have worn him out. Talk about batting above!
