Thread Name: BS: Rolf Harris accordion catches fire! /OBIT 2023
Subject: RE: BS: Rolf Harris's accordion catches fire!
It seems that Mr. Harris has left the building. An unnamed guest started an obit thread but it accidentally got fried in the moving it around process (and was just a link to this story).

This is is being added to an existing thread already below the line where guests won't be remarking on it - there were some pretty messy battles over Mr Harris in years past (one of the reasons Ms. Cornish is no longer posting here).
Although the Australian-born entertainer died on 10 May, his ostracism from the industry and isolation from wider society meant he did not have an agent who could confirm rumours of his demise and that led to reporters and photographers standing outside the Harris family house in recent weeks. Windsor and Maidenhead council confirmed that his death was officially registered on Tuesday morning, with the certificate suggesting he would be cremated.

He is survived by his daughter, Bindi Harris, and his wife, Alwen Hughes, who has had Alzheimer’s for many years.

A household name from the 1960s onwards, Harris’s reputation as an entertainer and artist was shattered when he was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, launched in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal.
