GossipGabe 333 Posted January 21, 2017 Having some kind of anaemia-related operation that involves shoving a rod up his asshole. I kind of can't really decide whether his current situation is really that dire, or he's just being a drama queen about having his fanny inspected and penetrated. It'd be unlucky to lose him now that he's finally off the deathlist after so many consecutive appearances. Our thoughts are with you Clive, hold on at least until 1 January, 2018. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disagree Kissinger has been very active whereas James has been open about his health issues. We know James is ill and did not put him on the list. Kissinger is just speculation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,967 Posted July 29, 2017 I think the situation is getting worse. Some Guardian commenter alerted me to the fact that his column has been absent for weeks. Now someone on Twitter observed that the Guardian magazine no longer features the line "Clive James is away". So he's probably not going to return...
