Um... Only 3 Bad Company, sadly Boz Burrel died a while ago.

True...and they weren't immune to the 2016 curse either, Mick Ralphs suffered a debilitating stroke only last month, it's unlikely he'll play again I'm afraid.

Unless I've missed something, there's still 3 from led zeppelin alive.

6 Rolling Stones, 2 Beatles, 2 Who, 2 Zeppelin,  4 Sabbath, 3 Queen, 4 Bad Co, 2 Cream, 3 (or more!)Fleetwood Mac, both Kinks brothers, John Mayall, 4 Slade, 

I kind of thought that would end "Alan Partridge in a pear tree"

Don't want to say it. But possibly Clapton, Joni Mitchell or Peter green. 

2016 has been shite though bowie and Prince in one year were the ones that got me.

EC seems in decent health - he has dates at the Albert Hall lined up in Spring and is playing in New York & LA. He's too much of a hero for me to contemplate his demise.

Aparently Joni Mitchell has been seen out and about - so let's hope she's on the mend - though I share your fears about her well-being. 

Peter Green seems to have completely disappeared off the radar for a while. I just hope where ever he is that he's happy. After all his difficulties he deserves some peace in his final years. Had his creative purple patch continued, he might well have the greatest guitar player of all time. He shone brightly enough for long enough to be pretty close as it is....

After the sad list of big name artists to pass in 2016 I bet the rest of the people involved in Live Aid 85 are absolutely bricking it.

Someone posted a clip on my farcebook feed of PG and his family celebrating his 70th birthday in October. He looked remarkably good so I would hope he's not going to pop his clogs anytime soon. I think he lives round the Canvey/Southend area, my cousin lives down that way and sees him round Southend fairly regularly.
