A few excerpts:
December 22nd: Three steps to heaven
2002, Former Clash singer and guitarist Joe Strummer died of a
suspected heart attack aged 50. (1979 UK No. 11 single 'London
Calling', 1982 US No. 8 single 'Rock The Casbah, 1991 UK No.1
single 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go', first released 1982, plus 15
other UK Top 40 singles).
1972, Little Jimmy Osmond was at No.1 on the UK singles chart
with 'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool.' At nine years of age it
made him the youngest person to have a No.1 record, also the
biggest seller of 72.
--- Do you still remember the words Mick?-)
2003, the annual list of all-time music greats by the Guinness
book of hit singles was again topped by Elvis Presley. The list
based on the number of weeks spent on the UK singles chart
looked like this; 1. Elvis Presley (1193), 2. Cliff Richard (1152), 3.
The Shadows (771), 4. Elton John (623), 5. Madonna (606), 6. Diana
Ross (560), 7. Michael Jackson (509), 8. Rod Stewart (477), 9.
Beatles (456) and 10. David Bowie (452).
1987, Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue was pronounced 'dead on
arrival' in an ambulance when his heart stopped beating for two
minutes. Sixx was given two shots of adrenaline in his chest to
revive him. Fellow band members were prematurely informed of his
death.
