He seemed misunderstand two of Kirsty Young’s questions in a row. Probably just hearing loss - it’s just amazing that he is still up for a live television interview.

Ack! First time I’ve managed that. Sad to see one of the greats go.

I think this might be it. 89 is a dangerous age for an old comic - Max Bygraves, Eric Sykes, Bill Maynard, Warren Mitchell etc

can’t stomach either bloke. fantastic journalism going on.

how's that coffee coming along sir creep?

Aw, he looks good but it’s a bit sad to see one of the youngest British pop stars of the 1960s struggling.

New Tubular Bells 50th anniversary edition features a five-year-old demo, “Tubular Bells 4 Intro”, that is being publicised as “the last-ever recording from Mike”, now retired. https://fb.watch/jCC53i5LyC/

Totally agree with this.

come on, fuckers still warm.

There's a Jimmy King photoshoot of David Bowie that circulates widely as the last photographs of him. They get posted with the claim that they were taken on his birthday in 2016, two days prior to his death, but there is no evidence to suggest this - they were simply published that day on Bowie's social media channels and were likely taken in 2015. Anyway - here's the last photo of Bowie we can be sure of. He's leaving the Lazarus premiere on 7 December 2015, his first public appearance in a long time and of course his last too. Great smile despite how ill he was.

He sounds fine to me, and looks great.

As mentioned in the Genesis thread, what Rutherford actually said was “he’s much more immobile than he used to be”. Watching it, I really take “used to be” to be referring to before the recent Genesis reunion and not a new development.

He looks pretty decent to me. Shaved head aside, he more or less looks like he always has, no?

He is indeed! Picked him just on the “surprised he’s still alive” charge. RIP.

That’s quite shocking, I’m surprised it hasn’t featured in other media covering Frontier in Space.
