Phil Spector has apparently died from COVID complications while serving a prison sentence for murder.

Spector has had many illnesses over the past few years and the article I read did not mention the virus. Do you have a link?

Media reports said Spector, who had been sentenced to 19 years to life for murdering the actor Lana Clarkson, died after being diagnosed with Covid-19 four weeks ago.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation would only confirm he had died “of natural causes at 6.35pm on Saturday 16 January 2021, at an outside hospital”. It added: “His official cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner in the San Joaquin county sheriff’s office.”

So the sad story of Phil Spektor comes to a end.
From producing records with the Beatles to a cell in a California prison..and fully deserving to be there.
How the mighty have fallen.

Interesting pair to survive Covid 19: Jeremy Clarkson and Marianne Faithfull.

Two people in terrible health, chain smokers, overweight and survived. Clarkson didn't even require hospitalisation, while Marianne was in for three weeks and still using oxygen.

Actress Liv Tyler (probably best known for her role in The Lord Of The Rings. Diagnosed right at the end of last year.

Ironically she had been one of the stars of the series Lone Star 911, but she dropped out because she lives in the UK and didn't want to travel to the US to film the series because of Covid restrictions.
