Miguel Ferrer
Miguel Ferrer, Rosemary Clooney's son, has died of throat cancer at the age of 61.
He appeared with his mother as a teenager, accompanying her on guitar, in some of Bing's last stage shows.
I'm sure other notices will be appearing in time, but here's an early one

Re: Miguel Ferrer
Think Miguel was on drums at the Palladium.

I stand corrected. My old grey matter must be getting even older and greyer!

Re: Miguel Ferrer
Sad news...
Rosie can be heard proudly introducing her son (on drums!) on the recording of the Palladium concert.

Re: Miguel Ferrer
- and I'm also wrong about him being in his teens - a group from which he would have emerged a couple of years prior to those stage shows.

Re: Miguel Ferrer
During Rosie's introduction of her son during Bing's '76 Palladium show, she mentions the fact that Miguel had been to the Palladium once before - as a babe-in-arms during her headlining appearance there in 1955.
There's a youtube (audio-only) recording of Rosie "Live at the London Palladium" here
I have to admit I hadn't heard it before, and it makes for great listening. A certain Buddy Cole is on piano...
