Awww. That's a wee bit sad.

Sorry to be predictable but I genuinely thought he died a couple of years ago. I have an (evidently false) memory of it and everything.

Quite ironic that the guy who is most famous for The Snowman should die during a heatwave.

I thought that. At least Dame Olivia had the decency to pass during the season she's most associated to.

Loved everything he did. When the Wind Blows was terrifying, still is.
