RIPs

[TordelBack]

I'm very sad to hear about Humph, I'm Sorry... is one of the truly great pleasures in life.  Brilliant tribute, BTW, Adrian.

A gent to the end, I liked this story from Barry Cryer

"We've got a stage version of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue and did a show without him, the first in 36 years, in Bournemouth last Tuesday, when Rob Brydon deputised brilliantly. What Rob didn't know was our great producer Jon Naismith got Humph to record an introduction in hospital, and what the audience heard was: 'Good evening. This is Humphrey Lyttelton. I can't do the show tonight because I'm in hospital; I wish I'd thought of this earlier. Will you give a big welcome to Rob Brydon?' Rob was very touched by that. It got the show off to a great start."

I popped in to post the Hoffman link and was satisfied to see I've been beaten to it.

A fascinating life, and a link to a bloody good comic - Doom Patrol.

Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive "shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79.

That was perticularly sad cancer at 37....

That was perticularly sad cancer at 37....

Technically it was cancer at 31, dead at 37.

Certainly makes you think, when people so close (or younger) to your age start popping off.

Shouldn't this RIPs thread be in the off-topic section? I don't think it should be in the 2000AD: General section. With respect to those recently deceased, it doesn't have any relevance to 2000AD. Rather morbid for the 2000AD section.

Thanks for moving it.

 Unfortunate and will be missed by many.

 He spoke the truth.
