Singer Alvin Stardust dies aged 72

The glamrock singer had a string of hits throughout the 1970s and 80s.

SINGER ALVIN STARDUST has died at the age of 72.

His manager confirmed that the English entertainer passed away today after a short illness.

Stardust, whose real name was Bernard Jewry but who originally took the stage name Shane Fenton, had a string of glamrock hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including Jealous Mind, My Coo Ca Choo, and I Feel Like Buddy Holly.

He had a total of seven Top Ten hits in a career which lasted almost 25 years.

He had just finished recording a new album – his first since 1984 – which was due to be released at the beginning of November.

    @pat seery: because there are those that don’t want the truth to be uncovered. Political parties and the church for starters.

    Sad that we cannot trust those in power to do the right thing on this that all people can agree must be excavated and babies identified . All political parties imo this applies to . In this case the right thing is obvious.

    Still flaffing about with this. The Government can introduce laws and bills and get them passed quickly enough when it suits them.

    “The views of the relatives of the deceased” are the only reason they are purposing this removal apparently and that local “residents might be burdend and it wouldn’t pass the proportionality test” .

    I think if they put it to a public vote they would find out its a lot more than relatives of the deceased want this

    The government still want ro keep the truth hidden. They don’t want those remains examined in case they find out they were killed by the nuns
