Huge, rough and breathless on his last report from Holyrood. Keep him in your sights. Reminded of Brian Taylor today from watching the Salmond obituaries on telly, and seeing a brief clip of a Salmond interview he did in the 2010s . He wrote his latest column just yesterday but he seems to be seldom spotted in public now. Turns 70 in January (he was born just 9 days after Salmond). Can see him dying in the next couple of years. Like Salmond, his omission from any teams in the DDP is surprising. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's acknowledged that the brain cancer will eventually kill him, but he "hopes" he has many years yet. I wouldn't suggest picking him for 2025, but as he's a big name in Scottish broadcasting I think we should prompt ourselves to revisit him in a year or two from now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bad, just posted this in deaths of 2024 because I didn't think to look here. More a presenter than journalist, though he'd found a recent niche in paranormal content where the dividing line between journalism and entertainment is non-existent.

Glenn Campbell thinks he'll reach his 50th birthday in February 2026. He even mentions wanting to climb every Munro in Scotland by 2028.

He's friends with Theo Burrell too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy9xm239lgo The article says his tumor is stable, so I think seeing February is a realistic punt. It's a more treatable kind of brain tumor as well, which has almost certainly helped him survive as long as he has. Which makes me think he may see 2026 without as much trouble as we think, especially if his drugs (and medical care) are working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
