Edwin Hampton, the founding director of the most popular school marching band in New Orleans, the St. Augustine Marching 100, died Tuesday after a lengthy illness. He was 81. During Mr. Hampton’s tenure, the band played in countless Carnival parades, the Rose parade and even for Pope John Paul II during his visit to New Orleans in 1987.
 

Marcel Jacob, bassist for Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force and co-founding member (alongside veteran vocalist Jeff Scott Soto) of long-running melodic hard rock band Talisman, has died, taking his own life at the age of 45, because of long term serious illness.
 


Les Lye was the only adult on Nickelodeon's iconic 80's show. He played EVERY adult seen on the Canadian borrowed show...

Just a slight correction, he was initially the only adult on the show. Abby Hagyard later joined the series (in the second season?) and played pretty much every adult female character. Plus, Christine "Moose" McGlade was in her 20s by the time the series ended.

Former boxing champion Vernon Forrest exchanged gunfire with robbery suspects before being shot to death, Atlanta police said Monday.

The 38-year-old former two-division champion, who gained notoriety when he became the first boxer to defeat Shane Mosley, was killed Saturday night. Investigators believe between 20 and 24 shots were fired from two guns, said Lt. Keith Meadows. Police recovered Forrest’s gun and one shell casing belonging to that gun, he said.
