Heads up that Badie died 15 April 2023. I have yet to find a news reference online to add into the article, but has been discussed a good deal by fellow musicians friends and neighbors in social media. (eg facebook [1][2][3]). As soon as one of us sees a published reference, add that to the article. -- Infrogmation (talk) 17:16, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks to User:Jkaharper for finding some sources (I'd been doing web searches every day waiting for a secondary source or publication to pick up the news) to confirm his death on Wikipedia. -- Infrogmation (talk) 15:08, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
