Boyband JLS are to split up, the band have announced. Having
enjoyed widespread successes, the four piece X factor finalists have struggled
recently with their last single Hold Me
Down making it to just 112 in the UK charts.
Reggae producer Harry Johnson (Harry J) whose Roosevelt
Avenue studio in Kingston , Jamaica, was a beacon for top acts including Bob
Marley & The Wailers, Burning Spear
and Gregory Issacs has died aged 67.
Janos Starker, the celebrated Hungarian born cellist who played with the Budapest Orchestra, as principal cellist with the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and who ended his career as a widely respected teacher at the Indiana State University has died aged 88.
The country singer George Jones has died aged 81. Jones, who was married to Tammy Wynette for six years and had been a US Marine for three, had early success in the rockabilly genre before having more than 60 country music hits between 1955 and 1971. Having battled alcoholism and cocaine addiction, he was still touring at the time of his death.
Chris Kelly, one half of Kris Cross who had a massive 1992 hit with Jump when the pair were teenagers, has died aged 34.
Jeff Hanneman, founder member of Slayer, has died aged 49 after suffering liver failure. The guitarist had suffered from ill health since contracting necrotising fasciitis after being bitten by a spider in 2011.
Composer Steve Martland has died aged 53. Martland often collaborated with artists from outside conventional classical institutions, resulting in distinctive work and he collaborated with Spiritualized at the 1998 Edinburgh Fringe.
And on a personal note I would like to say farewell to Clive Burr, former drummer with Iron Maiden and Praying Mantis who has died aged 56. Clive was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1994. He was a lovely chap.
