Who Would Dare Do Question Time Again?

May 15, 2009 at 3:30 pm

Flat Stevens

Does TheEye have a sick sense of humour for blog titles? Hmmmm, sorry, guilty as charged… Cat Stevens is mourning the death of his former manager Monti Luftner, who was run over by a lorry in Garching, Germany. Cat – now back in the charts as Yusuf Islam – enjoyed […]
