Steve Lawrence has outlived a fair amount of his Blues Brothers costars (he played their booking agent in both films).

Aaron Neville, 79.

I knew Brian Murphy was still alive but his wife (Linda Regan, probably most famous for HiDeHi) has just posted a photo of him which makes you think he's been gone for a while but his body hasn't realised yet.
