A1 in a US paper? **** no.

Paul, Mick maybe Ringo, maybe Keef. No on Phil.

Are you new here? There must be some misunderstanding.

 

[swingline]

If you think he belongs, against all odds, there must be some kind of mistake.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Maybe give it one more night.

He'd make the rail on A1 (above the fold) of USAToday - though I don't know if USAT still uses the rail

Depending on your format, Phil Collins dying is probably worth a mention of some sort on A1, especially if you have a briefs rail or something of that sort.

The fact he's sick ... nah, probably not.

A1 stories (vs briefs or teaser boxes) for upcoming rock star deaths:

-- Dylan
-- Paul
-- Ringo
-- Mick
-- Keith
-- Bruce
-- Bono
-- Elton

... and that's about it. Actually most of these guys will command pretty substantial A1 packages (depending of course on the circumstances/ shock value of their deaths). The death of the last Beatle (whichever it is) will trigger a tsunami of "end of an era" packages.
Just think if it's Pete Best.

What about when Elvis or MJ actually die?

Why do you hate women?

Hear them roar.

Madonna will rate some A1 coverage (full pages in Michigan) but not half the page.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

I would think Janet Jackson makes 1A.

Britney Spears would be A1. Taylor Swift would go A1 if she croaked now, but she probably has work to do to hang onto it a half-century from now.

 

[Songbird]

A1, A1 don't you lose my number.

T Swift would shake off a A1 snub

I Cannot Believe It's True.

(And some of you need to better separate your Phil Collins and your Genesis references. Bigger difference than you might think in most cases.)

You can't hurry love (or death)

 

[DanOregon]

Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Cher...

Do You Know, Do You Care?

Shoot - anyone remember this?

Billy Joel? New Yorker, tons of radio play, sold a lot of records, married Christie Brinkley.
