Sean 6,314 Posted April 13, 2019 I am surprised they agreed to operate given his very poor general health.I don't think he will see 80 now.After such a huge operation that has affected his speech and his eulyesight failing I reckon he will slowly lose his resolve.Chemo if he needs any will almost certainly finish him off now.His recent surgery also sounds like a major infection risk.

gcreptile 10,966 Posted October 5, 2019 Clive James is reading himself in this unexpected Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/oct/05/clive-james-books-overrated-all-magic-realism No health news at all. So I guess the window of scoring for him in 2019 is closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RolandDeschain 91 Posted November 27, 2019 RIP to a great bloke who faced his demise with good humour and grit. I'm very happy that he lasted as long as he did (becoming another legend of the Deathlist!) He got to 80 and had cancer for nearly a decade and got to watch the end of Game Of Thrones ( which he probably regretted!) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
