lapal_fan Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Feels to me all fashion designers die well into their 90s/early 100s. I have absolutely no evidence, but just a gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of WCC, but the Clark(e) bass player that springs to mind is Stanley (and he's still alive and kicking).

Have been lucky enought to see Stanley Clarke with The Clarke/Duke Project at The Odeon in New Street. First 'encountered 'him when he was with Chick Corea on TOGWT. He played a Kramer bass, a brand that might have disappeared now. I played with a geezer who had one and paid a quite a lot for it ; but was unhappy that it seemed to go out of tune easily (changed back to a Precision). PS @mjmooney, perhaps that should be alive and slapping !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Akira Toriyama, the guy behind Dragon Ball. 68 y.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 8 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8 Toriyama was also influential in the gaming world, being a character designer for the massive Dragon Quest series, and working on a number of other RPG series. His art has an extremely distinctive simple clean cute style and became a big part of the reason that Dragon Quest was Japan's favourite gaming series (which probably underplays how popular it is, the Japanese government asked the publisher to move the release day of the games because so many people queued to buy the latest edition it was causing problems). Massive loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resurrected the Reading Festival and staged others. He was a bit of a legend and he was probably the second biggest influence on festival culture after Michael Eavis.
