Shirley Boone

The daughter of 1940s country music stars Red Foley and Judy Martin (who died of an unexplained drug overdose without leaving a note, during a pending divorce, aged 34) Shirley Foley married Pat Boone when the pair were both 19. Both strongly Christian in their beliefs, Boone turned down movie roles that would involve him kissing someone who wasn’t his wife (including an appearance opposite Marilyn Monroe). God has now rewarded the couple by giving Shirl’ a big old dose of congestive heart failure, which saw her hospitalised in late 2018 and has seen her board the crazy train outta here early in January. Three teams score, including DDP GOATs The Living End and… yep, GUN Away. Three hits in 11 days already. Do we need to bother with the rest of the tournament?
