As I think I've said before, he does strike me as an "anytime in the next 5 years" pick, but trying to pin point the exact time is tricky. Especially if he performs again tonight. We can see the light but the tunnel length is hard to judge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,247 Posted December 10, 2017 All we know is he's stable but he could still be critical and die at any time. I just have a feeling about this.George Michael died Last Christmas so maybe Chris Rea will die just as we're getting ready to Drive Home for Christmas..

ThePrematureBurial 224 Posted September 10, 2020 Since he has his own thread, I won't mention his name in "ideas & possibilities for 2021", but it's time to remind everybody, that he suffered from pancreatic cancer & diabetes & collapsed on stage three years ago. His official site has not been updated since. He didn't look too bad in his interview from october 2019, but this was the last sign of his life that I was able to find online. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,472 Posted December 20, 2020 Apart from being a covid-meme trender with BoJo today, he was on BBC2's Mortimer and Whitehouse Go Fishing, or whatever it's called, last week. His toupee was in fine fettle and he didn't seem too shabby either, as he talked about the 34 pills a day he has to take, while downing a pint in the local. Hopefully this FB link works... https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=722241325091865 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’ll do no such thing, they are absolute legends, I would be genuinely upset if one of them popped off, so if we don’t talk about it then it won’t happen. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,104 Posted December 20, 2020 He looks awful. How long has he had pancreatic cancer? Considerable respect for surviving as long as he has with that brutal illness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That, combined with the vast number of pills he needs to take to keep pancreatic cancer aftereffects at bay, and its a bloody miracle he's still breathing tbh.
