Only one original Pointer left, out of four.
I am familiar with the band, but was never specifically into them to a level where I knew the individual members. However sadly we have another 2022 entry - Jeremiah Green of Modest Mouse.
Edit: taking Wikipedia as a primary source here for the date, 31 Dec 2022.

Gee, that one slipped by me as well. Used to love watching Rock Around The World.
I’ve still got the 7" single of this ripping Painters And Dockers’ tribute to Basia.

Oh wow, I missed this news. I’m a big fan. Interestingly he’d quit drumming for them temporarily, and the only release he was never on was their breakthrough album with “Float On” on it.
Probably not a celebrity as such, but Joan Sydney (aka Matron Sloan in A Country Practice) has passed.
That character scared me as a kid. You could imagine her pulling out the wooden ruler and putting ten of the best across the palm of your hand…

She passed on December 28th and her wiki page has been showing that for a week but today was the first day I’d seen anything reported by the media. Thought she played her roles well but it brings back painful memories of being subjected to watching ACP by my mother as a child
