Former Smash Hits and Q Magazine writer Tom Hibbert.

 

:o Oh that is a shame. I used to love his "Who The Hell" column in Q Magazine. I've probably led a very sheltered life, but I don't think I've ever laughed as much at an article, as I did when I read his interview/stitch up of Jerry Lee Lewis. RIP Tom.

 

A much, much better writer than David Quantick IMO.

That's a bit of a shock, although he did disappear off the radar. I remember him as being quite waspish, pulled no punches.

 

Not been a great year for journos, has it?

That is a real shame, though I can't imagine his massive alcoholism helped much with diabetes.

 

One of the true greats of the David Hepworth Smash Hits/Q stable. RIP.

Nice to see you resurrected Jean...

 

You should probably read the articles properly before posting.

This bit amused me:

 

Hubbard helped Funnell set up a rescue helicopter service, which now has six helicopters in operation.

 

"These helicopters have saved many lives, particularly those who have been in motor vehicle accidents," said Funnell.

 

"Unfortunately, in this case, the outcome was not what we'd hoped."

 

No shit, Sherlock

Major Bruce Kinloch, more timeless British spunk heading for the crematorium!

 

 

The Telegraph's obit desk should enter the DDP next year and just use this long-list of Britspunk they seemingly have saved to their desktop.
