As in most of what you heard about him (largely from his own mouth) are probably myths.

[BlackBart]

I'm pretty sure he actually existed.

[BlackBart]

He also produced the world's dullest porn mag.

[Animavore]

Never read it.

The Playboy was always pathetic like himself.

Where I used to work back in the 80s there was a pile of jazz mags in the office (Yes, it was a modern and progressive work environment ) The Mayfairs, Penthouses and Escorts etc. were dog eared and falling apart, the Playboys were largely untouched.
A few interviews with American Comedians no-one had ever heard of and a couple of plasticky looking centrefolds. You haven't missed much.

Sean Hughes, Irish stand-up comedian, best known for his role as team captain on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

One of the sadder losses of late ... Robert Guillaume, star of Benson, has died aged 89.

Apparently he was fighting a long battle against prostate cancer. Even so, we had 89 years of him to savour.

More on this here.

Those who remember his frankly stellar performances in Benson will feel a particular sadness today ... his suave delivery of intelligent humour will set an example to follow for generations of actors to come.

aye, sad news - and it was only upon his death i learned that he was rafiki in the lion king...

[UncertainSloth]

also a crap loss...one of the greats who inspired me to take up the keys & piano at a tender age...now, decades on, it's still the case that anything i play ends up as a boogie-woogie-fest....

[Fallible]

This is true.

I cant believe that I would worry that much passing away of a youtuber, last week a Turkish youtuber suicide and I was saying "they're worrying for someone who wouldnt even say hi if they would come up on the street".

Now someone I was following for a few years passed away because of a sudden heart attack, its news devastated me

Guy was full of life and fun too soon, very sad.





RIP Ali Can
