Death List 2026

Under-the-ground

I see one of the accusers of Nonce Andrew has committed suicide. I bet a pound it isn’t coincidence.

Col Dempsey. Some on here may have known him.

Under-the-ground

Mike peters from the alarm.

I never liked them but he seemed a decent bloke. A bit eager but decent. Rip

Under-the-ground he had been ill for ages.
Again not my music, but he was well liked by people I know who had met him via football.

RIP Mike Peters.
Battled cancer for decades.
Like some Alarm stuff, toyed with putting one of theirs up in the essential songs. Only seen him once doing an acoustic set .

Reggie_Perrin

Under-the-ground TIP, 68 Guns was a decent track I recall.

He looked old when he was young. Like the blonde nonce from Bay City Rollers.

Loose_Lips

Reggie_Perrin Like the blonde nonce from Bay City Rollers.

But RIP anyway.

white_dragon Got an MBE for charity work. Always came across as a top bloke in interviews.

Wasn't Gaz Top his roadie at one point?

90Piesanhour

Sad news. As already stated, seemed a decent sort. The music was shite, mind.

Rudi

Toured with The Alarm in the early 90's. Mike Peters was one of the warmest, kindest and most decent men I've met. A beacon of positivity. And immeasurably brave. Rest well Mike x

Jon

Always laugh thinking about a letter in the NME from some Welsh lad commenting on Welsh music fans getting chinned at gigs in Liverpool. His final sentence (paraphrasing) was along the lines of, ‘Still, we got our own back, we sent you The Alarm.’

From the things I’ve read and heard about Peters he would’ve got a kick out of that.

Travis_Bickle

otis he was a one-off in the best sense. First met him at the youth club at St Andrew's on Butcher Hill. He was playing with The Craters.

Flaneur

fulmine Not sure if you've seen this.

It's very good.

fulmine

Flaneur Yes, I have, thanks mate. Very good, isn’t it? I love his dressing room shrines and how he goes jogging in his old school Adidas trackie.

Sardine-Tree

Travis_Bickle
Definitely a one-off. Knew him quite a bit in the 80s when on the same gigs. Did some publicity photography of The Craters at a quarry in Bramhope.

Never heard of this lady but the mini-obit on BBC describes someone very special. My loss. RIP.
