Blimey. That is a shame.

And he was only twenty four minutes from Gabalfa.

Oh God, does this mean the Hilton's going to become some sort of wierd place of pilgrimage like that tree in Barnes where Marc Bolan died? 'Tis sad news though.

I would say that that was in poor taste, but then thats only because I've been racking my brains trying to think of a better one.

Tulsa's a tough rhyme alright.

Something got a hold of his heart.... like a bloodclot?

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

How about

' He's not the first act to die in St.Davids Hall'

Or 'Something did get a hold of his heart - cholesterol '

He was twenty-four meters from Ha-Ha!

The gig was at St Davids Centre in town, but he was found dead in the Hilton.

He joins the ranks of Jock Stein (Ninian Park); Lena Zavaroni (Heath Hospital) and Les Harvey of Stone the Crows (Swansea, Top Rank) who was electrocted during their soundcheck in the early 70s.

RIP Gene.

 

[Sir Belchalot]

Didn't realise that Cardiff was A Town Without Pity.

 

[Brockway]

Thornhill or Ely - where they burying him?

 

[ddraig]

them next door reckon we've pushed him down the stairs or somehting nasty to up our post count and forum visitors?!?! don't post over there tho, they're trying hard to reel us in

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I can't belive that those Brizzlers would stoop so low as to use the death of a legendary singer to push their own lust for high postcounts

Shame on you Bristol!

[garethd]

i'm sorry to say i'd never heard of him.

my mum was gutted tho

 

[nwnm]

coulda been worse - he coulda died on stage like tommy cooper, so whats yer favourate star death then (deceptively broadens thread to keep posts coming )

 

[ddraig]

'natural causes'

apparently

A police spokeswoman said there would be no inquest opened or any further police inquiries into the death as the post-mortem results indicated he had died of natural causes.

[madamv]

Marc Almond wrote in his autobiog that when he told his mum he was going to do a duet with Gene Pitney

' she wouldnt have been more suprised if Jesus Christ had ejaculated into her handbag'

Oh and bye bye Gene, sad to see you go

 

[fishtail]

Apparently he went for chicken curry off the bone and chips down Caroline Street after the gig.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

So who killed him? Dot or Tony???
