Like everyone else, he'd dropped off my radar, then, by bizarre coincidence, they showed a new documentary about him, which we watched (oh so painful) the very night he died. I had wondered if watching it is what killed him (*g*) but apparently he never saw it. He'd eaten a £120 lunch that afternoon, sat down with a glass to watch himself and had a heart attack and died. I'm rather glad really, I don't think he'd have liked what he saw, sadly.
I always harboured a masive love for him.
