RIP Neil Innes

[Cycleops]

Who has died aged 75. So very sad. I was a big fan. A brilliant talented and innovative musician and comedian who played with The Ruttles and was involved with the Monty Python team.
Some of you might remember TV series "The Innes Book of Records".

Yes, a big loss.

I remember him mostly from the Bonzos (with Viv Stanshall) and some very silly TV on "Please Do Not Adjust Your Set".

Sadly, they don't make people like him any more.

Talented guy what a shame

 

[Salty seadog]

He was class, love the bonzos.

Bugger... I saw The Rutles live earlier this year... he was as right as rain, and a national treasure

Crikey !

Perhaps Princess Anne will play sousaphone at his funeral, accompanied by Eric Clapton on ukelele?

(From memory most of the other characters on the Intro/Outro are dead - I especially like Val Doonican's "Hello there")

Sad news. A very talented guy.

A great great talent, The Rutles were FAB.

 

[Yellow Fang]

Oh no, Ron Nasty is no more.

 

[Yellow Fang]

Or even betterer

A very sad loss.

Too much good stuff to choose from to remember him by but one of my favourites is this demolition of Bob Dylan:
