Patti Page

American singer Patti Page, one of the most popular artists of the 1950s, has died at the age of 85.

She recorded four US number-one hits, including Tennessee Waltz and the novelty record (How Much Is That) Doggie In The Window.

She was to have been honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award at next month's Grammy ceremony.

Born Clara Ann Fowler into a poor family in 1928, she was discovered singing on local radio.

"I was a kid from Oklahoma who never wanted to be a singer, but was told I could sing," she said in a 1999 interview. "And things snowballed."

She signed to Mercury Records, where she became their star female vocalist, selling more than 100 million records.

Adventurer Ian McKeever is killed by lightning on Kilimanjaro

RECORD-breaking mountain climber and adventurer Ian McKeever was tragically killed on Africa's highest mountain after being struck by lightning.

Mr McKeever, a well-known charity fundraiser, was leading an expedition to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania when the group was beset by bad weather.

The 42-year-old was struck by lightning a day after reports of bad weather hampering the climb by a large group, including more than 20 from Ireland.

A number of Irish people received medical attention following the lightning strike but were not seriously injured.

Ray Kelly, originally from Co. Clare, lived in NYC, was the frontman with The Mickey Finns and had played with the Prodigals before that. Both bands are pretty big on the Irish American circuit but not too well known over here. He was only in his 40s.
