I'd probably pay to see that.

I know, he could go this year and he's been left off the list

 

He'd have been a damn sight better pick than Tina Turner

Billy Connolly spends a lot more time on the brink of death in headlines than he does in article bodies.

 

"I’m 75, I’m near the end, I’m a damn sight nearer the end than I am the beginning..."

 

Sounds like a 75-year-old alright.

 

"As bits slip off and leave me, talents leave and attributes leave. I don’t have the balance I used to have, I don’t have the energy I used to have..."

 

Sounds like Parkinson's alright.

"Sir Billy Connolly: I'm near the end but I don't fear death"

Define near

Funny, people who were actually near death (as according to when they died) didn't pontificate about being near death, they just did what people near death do, which is 'get busy dying' (apologies to Shawshank).
I see nothing new here, and you people are making a lot to do bout nuttin imho.  Billy's no closer to death than Sir C.  Well a little bit.  I sure as fuck hope.

Typical Mail.

 

Connolly on TV - At my age, you know life is starting to slip away, you dont have long left, so enjoy it.

Mail - Connolly: "I dont have long left!"

 

Turn philosophical into click bait.

I think he has and few years left in him. I think he's talking about how his health has started to decline noticeably to him.

I did see him on TV tonight and to be honest I think he'll see 2020

 

His health is definitely in decline but he's not at death's door just yet

He did a series about ten years ago when he travelled the north west passage - he's clearly got a thing about following in the footsteps of Scottish pioneers. Might actually watch this.

Long article about his life in Florida, the climate is good for his health. And he says he's doing good, except for some moments where he can't find his wallet:

If he is talking about getting on with dying, well, he is taking his fucking time a bit, isn't he!

He's dying in the same most folk on here are dying, by moving closer to the eventual day each twenty-four hours. Beyond the cancer coming back, and the admittedly terminal case of being Glaswegian, I don't see him being that close to the grave yet.

 

I stand by the wise words of this guy nearly 4 years ago...
