He was not on the list.
Ray Mayhew, who was the drummer in iconic 1980s band Sigue Sigue Sputnik, has died.
His former bandmate Martin Degville posted the news on Facebook: “It is with great sadness that I have been informed today that my best friend and drummer of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Ray Mayhew, has passed away.
“May God bless you – you will forever be in my thoughts, and also in the hearts of the fans who love you.
“You were a force, a light that shone so brightly. Rest in peace, mate. Love you always.”
It hasn’t been revealed how Mayhew died.
Sigue Sigue Sputnik burst onto the UK music scene in 1986 with hits, Love Missile F1-11, which was featured in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and 21st Century Boy.
Formed four years previously, the glam new wave band were famous for their outlandish outfits.
But their initial success faded soon after. They continued
to have reunion tours until 2004.
