Rhapsody Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I didnt know. Blimey. Like him or loathe him he was a huge influence on modern culture and music, and a true British eccentric- RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ditto really what Rhapsody said, a young age to go now, 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 What a shock There's a legend gone (I thought he had died in Switzerland though, and they mentioned a cancer type disease and I thought of those Swiss clinics, obviously wasn't paying attention to the news this morning ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmab Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I met him once. He had a glint in his eye! I'm sad to hear he has died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I bet he did - he was always good value,wasn't he? Was it him who was supposed to do 'I'm a celeb' but wouldn't come out of his hotel room,or am I getting him mixed up with someone else?

sadietoo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 He was unashamedly self-promoting and I found him very irritating when interviewed but he and Vivienne Westwood introduced punk to the UK and changed attitudes to fashion for ever, . I heard he died of Mesothelioma which is usually linked to asbestos. 64 is no age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'm very sad too - a real mover and shaker; he was part of something that changed my life. Him and Alexander McQueen; not good is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 For him to die at only 64-the world has lost a true iconic,outspoken figure.Most people remember him for managing the Sex Pistols,but that was only a brief part of his life.RIP Malcom. For me,his pinacle moment was the haunting song 'Madame Butterfly'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I bet he did - he was always good value,wasn't he? Was it him who was supposed to do 'I'm a celeb' but wouldn't come out of his hotel room,or am I getting him mixed up with someone else? It said in the paper yesterday that he pulled out of the show as he didn't know who any of the 'celebrities' hired for the programme were! I often have that problem too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Slightly morbid thought,but I am wondering about his funeral. If its not a huge,hedonistic, decadent affair,I will be very disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
