Scientific paper

Recently there has been mounting observational evidence in favour of Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) being the `direct' progenitors of some core-collapse supernovae in stark contrast to theoretical predictions. Here we give an outline of these events and present, possibly, the most convincing evidence to date for LBV supernovae progenitors: the intriguing case of SN 2005 gj. We will connect this to our current understanding of massive star evolution and highlight the potential problems this causes.
