Oh no!!!! His character, Richard, in KUA is one of the best of British comedies. I record KUA every Saturday night so I can watch it. I'm so sad - thank you for posting this.

He was diagnosed with cancer ten years ago. He often played live at a record store near us. My husband met him several times. He was very kind.

Micky and Mike are doing the rescheduled shows from last year (when Mike had heart surgery) in a few weeks. Peter was not on this tour to begin with, but I am sure it will be really difficult for them.

He had cancer 10 years ago, but he beat it...I guess it must have returned.

I don't think he shared anything publicly. He had stopped touring awhile back, citing "health reasons" and also there has been a fan stalking him for the past few years-I won't go into that here, but it has been ugly.

Me too Pat! Davy Jones was more of a blow for me--I actually met him, and he was always my favorite--but I loved them all (except Mike and his weird hat, haha).
