    Bobby Farrell RIP

    Link

    Not to everyone's taste, but Boney M (NME usually referred to them as Money B) were sometimes entertaining.
    If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

      The singer was found dead in a hotel room in St Petersburg, Russia, where he had been performing, John Seine said.
      Why was he performing in his hotel room?

      So much more than just another sockie

        Presumably it was somebody else who was really performing.

        "Ra ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen, there was a cat, who really was gone". They don't write em like that anymore.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          At 61 and still able to do those wild moves??? though he actually didn't sing on the albums.

            One word - greed.

            There are corporate parties in Russia in firms that get rich by selling overpriced fuel to the West and they spend it lavishly on singers who fly over to sing at those private parties - he probably stood to make a few hundred grand for one performance.

              It was the curse of Rasputin that got him

              Rasputin was murdered on the night of December 29 to 30, 1916 in St. Petersburg
