When I heard about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, my first thought was, 'why would anyone want to kill the lead singer of Busted?!?'

Whoops!

Saying Hello to a fresh weep

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 8:04 pm

The dramatic synth swelling transition, just after: #this is one scene that's about to be played my way#, in Say Hello, is one of my favourite all time music bits.

I've been listening through the 1001 albums you must hear before you die list and he died when I was two albums away from Nonstop Erotic Cabaret

Comedic actor/performer/writer Stanley Baxter gawn at 99.

I thought he'd passed away a few years ago, tbh.

Best known for making incredibly expensive/lavish TV sketch show extravaganzas.
