Sad to add that Umberto Eco, author of The Name of the Rose, has passed at the age of 84.
RIP!
Crap! I’m hating how much this thread is being used, and how many great people we’re losing!

Yeah, I swear. Every single time I see this thread, I say “Aw, s**t. Who’s dead now?.” Sometimes out loud.

To Kill A Mockingbird is her other book and her most famous book. She won the Pulitzer Prize for that book in 1961. In 1962 it was turned into a movie. The movie and book are really great. I was required to read the book in high school. I highly recommend checking them out.
I still need to read her latest book. I have heard it’s a bit controversial because of a certain character whom was in To Kill A Mockingbird.
RIP Harper Lee

Senior Abbey Road engineer Allan Rouse passed away on Saturday. It’s not normal to remember a very backroom boy, but it was he who did the first ever set of safety copies of The Beatles’ session tapes. Involved in a major way in every Beatles project since the mid-80s, he worked on Live At The BBC , Anthology, the stereo remasters, the digital stereo remasters, the analog mono remasters, Love… the list goes on.
Apple issued this statement yesterday:
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Allan Rouse, who passed away yesterday and in particular Fiona his wife who cared for him with such tenderness and consideration following his illness.
Allan joined Abbey Road studios in 1972 and during his time there made an invaluable contribution towards preserving the music and legacy of The Beatles. He worked on all the releases with extraordinary dedication and loyalty.
We will also miss his acerbic wit that was actually part of his charm. Allan did not suffer fools gladly but once you earned his respect he could not have been more co-operative and helpful.
Allan was a true friend of the band and of everyone at Apple, and will be remembered with great affection by those of us who were lucky enough to spend time working with him.
From Paul, Ringo, Olivia, Yoko and everyone at Apple
While Giles Martin said this:
It’s very sad to hear about the passing of Allan Rouse, known as the “gate-keeper” for The Beatles at Abbey Road . He looked after and cherished everything that was recorded by the band and my father all those years ago. Only Allan knew where everything was and only Allan was trusted with preserving the tapes and the legacy of the most successful band in the history of recorded music.
My father spent hours with Allan working through the tapes for The Beatles Anthology. From the outset my dad loved his deadpan humour. It was this, linked to his incomparable knowledge of the music, that made trawling through all of the tapes a pleasure for my father during the project.
When embarking on The Love show I worked with Allan very closely. It was he that developed the technique of using vari-speed to manually lock each four track generation. This enabled me to create the multi-channel mixes that we used to create the new surround mixes of The Beatles. Having Allan come to my room and react to the work I was doing was always a pleasure. His honesty in everything made me respect his opinions that were always based on his love and respect for the band.
More than anything else we will miss Allan as a friend. Our best wishes are with his wonderfully compassionate wife Fiona who cared so well for him during his illness.
Giles Martin
Thank you so much for all your years as “the gatekeeper”, Allan. Thank you for your tireless years of preserving and helping expand the reach of the music that brings all of us here together.
You did a grand job, and I salute you, Sir!
Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace, George Martin.
I just heard the news. I’m greatly saddened by George’s passing, but he truly did live a long and fulfilling life. His production shaped the recordings of The Beatles in many ways, and as a mentor and musician, he impacted their music greatly.

Now this is getting wearying, Jon English, an Aussie icon of 70s rock and stage just died. He was a fantastic Judas in the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar, but was also a hit singer and a loved TV actor. I’m beginning to hate seeing Guardian notifications on my phone, it’s always a death 🙁
