Crossposting Silvio Santos has finally died.

 

Allegedly the most famous man in Brazil. He reminded me of Silvio Berlusconi, a powerful media Mogul with right wing links, but his attempts at a political career failed. As Silvio B., he never accepted the natural process of aging, and his family was in full denial until he died.

 

Any thought, @diego? This is surely the death of the year in Brazil.

Thank you @drol for giving me this opportunity, my friend.
Silvio Santos was loved by everyone, even here in Brazil. He was a presenter who interacted with everyone without exception. He participated in jokes and wasn't afraid of embarrassing himself. He laughed at himself when things happened to him. Once, his pants fell down during a program, and as always, he was in a good mood laughing at the situation. He fell down trying to make jokes and laughed at himself, amusing everyone. His station didn't report on his death at first, while the others were on duty reporting it. I believe they weren't in a position to broadcast the news yet, and were showing cartoons while they waited for the emotion to pass a little. I had a lot of fun with his programs, with his good humor, his joy, his ability to make jokes to pass this joy on to everyone. It's impossible to watch any of his programs without forgetting about his problems and, at least in that moment, having a reason to smile. He even joked after his daughter was kidnapped, saying that his daughter gave him so much trouble that he almost asked the kidnappers to stay with her a little longer. 12 hours later, his house was invaded and he himself was held hostage. The state governor personally intervened and managed to get him released. It's also sad because he didn't have time to see the premiere of the film about his life, which will premiere on September 5th. I just hope it does justice to his rich story. I invite everyone to watch this film, to learn a little about his life. The story of this unforgettable character from our television, I don't know if it will be good, if it will be in keeping with his story, but I believe it will give us a chance to get to know him a little bit. He helped everyone on his show. I don't know how many people he helped financially on the shows. He would hand out money as if it were just anything, a chocolate, a little souvenir. I can say without fear of being wrong that he made a difference in the lives of at least 97% of Brazilians. This has been a difficult year for me due to the deaths of Brazilian people I admired and admired, such as Zagallo, Wilson Fittipaldi, Silvio Luiz, Antero Greco, and now Silvio Santos. I don't remember Silvio Santos ever having a long face or a bad mood, not even in the most difficult moments of his life.

Today is the anniversary of the station he founded, 43 years old, it's a coincidence that he died just 2 days before this anniversary
For someone who started his life selling voter registration cards on the street, building what he built is not for everyone.

Frederik (79), Finnish schlager, pop and disco singer and "King of redneckdisco" cancels tour and apparently all upcoming concerts.

 

He has during the last year broken his knee, arm, severed his eye in a tennis accident and caught severe pneumonia leading to a multiple week hospitalisation in the States, and also has suffered from heart problems for a while.

I'll miss him a bit when he goes, he's "macho" to a comic extent and now seems a relic of a bygone era. He has probably hundreds or thousands of illegitimate children and has accidentally hit on atleast one of them, still regularly has had sex with women backstage in recent years and his autobiography was full of all kinds of sex stories.

Laurent Tirard was a French director who died at the age of 57, I watched two of his films and really liked them, Little Nicholas and Nicholas on Holiday, they are children's films, but fun, light and with simple jokes, but funny and efficient. due to cancer in 2012, he underwent a bone marrow transplant that led to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) having “attacked his skin, lungs, liver, intestines”, he confided in 2020

Sorry, but I prefer the original version.....

 

And if you want to know where Simply Red got the inspiration for Fairground from... This track.

 

Truly a legend gone.
