    I'll go first..

    Samantha Mumba? She was once famous, but disappeared off planet earth.

    Also, is Thelma Mansfield still alive? My granny used to love Live at Three, and asked me recently "where is Thelma these days?" I couldn't answer. lol

    The same questions were asked of My Bloody Valentine for years, but at least they made a bit of of comeback in 2008.

    And Mike Oldfield? Tubular Bells was album that made Virgin Records and sold over 17 million copies worldwide. Think he got really fúcked up and went to live on his own for years.

    And Jonathan Rhys Meyers? Is he totally irrelevant now?

    Strange how things/people disappear.

    What's 40 feet long and smells of wee? The front row on Live At Three.

    That's a 40 year span you're covering there, hardly surprising they're not all still around.

    It's not really that strange, it's called trends...

    Thelma Mansfield is an artist now, was on telly just a few weeks ago.

    Mike Oldfield still releases albums but nothing will ever top Tubular Bells or Ommadawn.

    Jonathan Rhys Meyers is still being hosed down after his latest bout of air rage.
