It's very sad. It looks like it might have been due to cirrhosis. 51 is no age is it?

So sad. I loved him back in the day!

I just saw that too. It is sad - no age at all. Addiction is such an all-consuming, damaging thing, something over which you have no control. It is often driven by internal demons, and is generally misunderstood.

Such a shame he couldn't get the help he needed.

Awful :(

He was only six years older than me. It's rather thought provoking.

Oh no, I met him once, he was a close friend of a brief boyfriend. How sad.

Sad news - was a huge fan in the 90s and had a massive crush on him. 51 is so young.

Thornyrose7 · 16/10/2017 21:20

Awful news. Such a talented and funny man.

My flatmates had crushes on him in the 1990s!

Very sorry to hear that he was so troubled.
