Sonatine 9926 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Loved the Young Ones when I was a kid http://www.itv.com/news/story/2014-06-09/rik-mayall-dead-at-56/ And the grown-ups will say "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say "Haven't you heard? Rik is dead! The People's Poet is dead!" Edited June 9, 2014 by Sonatine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34157 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Ah this is sad. Does this all stem back to his quad accident or have I missed some illness that he's had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Ade Edmondson's statement... The actor said in a statement: There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now hes died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard!"
