They were musicians, Roger, lost to death.

Neil Innes, (Monty Python, the Rutles and Bonzo dog Doo-Dah Band) died December 29, 2019 (heart attack.)

Neil Peart (Rush Drummer) died January 7, 2020 (brain cancer.)

I saw Rush back in the 90s. I try to remember their "Losing It" lyrics when I have to interact with grumpy old guys.

Interesting, since he wrote a lot of the music for Monty Python and was in The Holy Grail movie as Sir Robin's minstrel.

Maybe so but with a different venue the effect is also different.
