RIP Showaddywaddy co-founder and guitarist Trevor Oakes, who died after a short illness on 30 March. The Leicester-based eight-piece scored 23 UK hits in the 70s, including the number one Under the Moon of Love.

RIP Connie Francis. The US pop singer hit the number one spot in the UK chart twice during 1958, with Who’s Sorry Now? and Carolina Moon/Stupid Cupid. She died on Wednesday, aged 87.
