Difficult to put a title on this thread without making it sound like a joke, but it isn't:

(cut and pasted from BBC news website)

A former keyboard player with Echo and the Bunnymen has been killed in a motorbike crash on the Isle of Man.
Jake Brockman, who was 53 and lived in Bristol, died when his bike was in collision with a converted ambulance near Kirk Michael.
Known to fans as the 'Fifth Bunnyman', he had been associated with the band since their early 80s heyday and became a full-time member in 1989.
In 1989 the band's first drummer Pete De Freitas died in a similar crash.
Mr Brockman later formed the dance band BOM with Bristol-based musician Damon Reece.
He was also a noted bike enthusiast, photographer and he worked as a sound-recordist for the BBC's natural history unit on a number of projects.
The band have paid tribute to Mr Brockman on their official website.
He was was riding along the Kirk Michael to Ballaugh Road on Tuesday evening when the accident occurred.
He was taken to Noble's Hospital but died from his injuries a few hours later.
Investigations into the crash are continuing.
