Paul Di’Anno 66 -original singer for Iron Maiden, replaced by Bruce Dickenson.

Saw a picture of him recently. Looked terrible. Many of these old rockers get cancer or other diseases after so many years of body abuse.

As for Valenzuela, I heard he recently had to leave the Dodger Spanish broadcasts, so something was definitely going on.

Paul was singing in a wheelchair on stage at the end.

Fernando left the Dodgers broadcasting team in the last couple of weeks of the season. I saw the pic when it was announced, thought it was Maury Wills.
 
Fernando had liver cancer (reported)...all the social media doctors thought he was on Ozempic to lose weight due to his diabetes.
 
Rudy May, pretty solid pitcher for a long time thru the late 60’s to mid 80s with the Angels and Yankees - 80, diabetes.
