Scott Walker, experimental pop hero, dies aged 76

Scott Walker, one of the most innovative and enduring songwriters of the 20th century, has died aged 76.

Walker was born Noah Scott Engel in Hamilton, Ohio in 1943, and grew up in California. In 1964, he teamed up with John Maus – who was naming himself John Walker – and became the duo the Walker Brothers. Their drummer Gary Leeds was a veteran from the nascent “swinging London” pop music scene, and persuaded them to relocate to London, where Walker has been based ever since.

They scored two No 1 hits with Make It Easy On Yourself and The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore), and their dapper, hirsute image earned them heartthrob status – their fanclub once had more members than the Beatles.

Pub that hosted Cromwell's soldiers at centre of row over 'trendy' bar plan

A Yorkshire pub rumoured to have hosted Oliver Cromwell's soldiers the night before a famous 17th-century battle is at the centre of a new fight over plans to turn it into a "trendy wine bar".

Conservationists claim plans for a major refurbishment of the 600-year-old Black Bull in the West Yorkshire market town of Otley are "corporate vandalism" and will destroy its historic character.

The Grade II-listed watering hole, with its low oak beams, flagstone floor and log fire, is one of the oldest in the country and featured in the Hairy Bikers' Pubs that Built Britain series.

Firefox 66.0.1 was released Friday, contains security updates. Microsoft's new browser, based on Chromium as is Google Chrome, is reportedly coming along nicely.

He was dying for a drink?

Or perhaps he died of an overdose of pork scratchings...  :blink:
