The last original member,even though he left early in the day. That band must be one of the greatest tragedies in pop history,yet some of the most evocative songs of the era.

Strewth! Looking at their Wiki entry, you're not wrong about the tragedy bit. (Never knew they were responsible for Harry Nilssen's 'Without You' either).

Hackmans cause of death was chronic heart issues & alzheimers, his missus died from Hanta virus. They think she died a few days before Gene.

The dog had recent surgery so was kept in a crate.
Press release here.
Looks like she died first, she must have been Genes carer and him and the dog after.

Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
In my early days of working, I was in with a customer, when one of the said she had just got a tattoo! Somewhat surprised I ask what it was - and she promptly showed me the Five* tattoo on her arse.gremlin wrote: Fri Mar 14, 2025 7:04 am 80's squeaky-clean family pop group Five Star is now Four Star....

My Son knows Steadman quite well. They worked together a few times. When he told my Son who he was, my Son was none the wiser as being half of Steadmans age, he'd never heard of 5 Star!
