What a career He was great in (the original) "The Wrestler" where he effectively played Verne Gagne, wrestling promoter (while Verne himself played Verne Gagne, wrestler). RIP.

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Willard Scott, has died aged 87. Perhaps not known as much in the UK, Willard was recognisable face on US TV, especially the NBC Show in which he presented the weather as well as other segments. He was also the original Ronald McDonald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 5, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Yeah. 39 is no age to go, and cancer is an awful way. I dismissed Girls Aloud as one of those manufactured pop fads when they came about, but the singles were really good, and I ended up taking a punt on the first album when I saw it for a fiver on sale. There were some great tracks on it. Mars Attack is the one that sticks in my mind from that album. The second album I don't listen to that much, but it has its moments. Chemistry is one of the finest pop albums I've ever heard though, and gets regular plays. It's definitely their peak in my opinion. I wish I'd been able to see them live, but was also worried I'd have been arrested and stuck on some kind of register if I did, since I was probably the wrong gender and at least 10 years older than what I originally perceived to be their target demographic. It was a shame when they went their sepe rate ways, none of them managing to recreate the sound, in no small part due to the absence of Xenomania's production. This was a shame as, like Keith said above, we'd known it was coming for a while but it doesn't make it any easier to take. I'll probably stick some of their stuff on and go for a bit of a walk later. I said WALK, no Thunderplex-style celebration of life for me.

Yeah, I was just thinking about her the other day and the fact that we hadn't heard any news about remission meant that it wasn't going to be good news in the end. Really gutted, Girls Aloud were absolutely brilliant and you could tell that every one of them played a big part in making them work as well as they did. She's a huge part of recent pop history.
