Legendary bassist Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn died in Japan on Saturday aged 70.

Fellow MGs guitarist Steve Cropper (who starred alongside Dunn in The Blues Brothers) announced the news on his Facebook page:

“Today I lost my best friend, the world has lost the best guy and bass player to ever live,” Cropper, his lifelong friend, wrote. “Duck Dunn died in his sleep Sunday morning May 13 in Tokyo Japan after finishing 2 shows at the Blue Note Night Club.”

PUBLIC LITTER bins are being removed from residential areas by Dublin City Council in an attempt to crack down on illegal dumping of household rubbish.

The council has so far withdrawn almost 200 bins from the streets, some of which were underused, while others were being “abused” by householders who did not want to pay waste charges, according to the council.

Most of the bins removed were removed because of underuse, but a quarter were being filled with household waste.
