RIP AA Gill

[PositronicRay]

You lived a full life, but 62 is too close to home

[susanq]

Wow. Must've been very aggressive/advanced cancer. I'll miss his column in the Sunday Times. R.I.P. Mr Gill.

[PositronicRay]

He's written about it the last couple of weeks.

[Borghetto]

He did say he had the "Full English" of cancers. He was about to get married - hope he managed that before he passed . Very sad news.

I used to enjoy his restruant reviews in the ST, back in the days when I actually bought newspapers.

His piece on Morrisey http://www.theomnivore.com/a-a-gill-on-autobiograp... sums up
Morrisey,the man, perfectly imo, though I admit to being a fan of his lyrics and music.

RIP A.A.Gill.

2016 has been a helluva year for high profile deaths.

RIP Mr. Gill.

Indeed.

Wogan, Prince, Corbett, Bowie, Aherene, Victoria Wood, Paul Daniels........

Very sad.

Greatly enjoyed his writing, and the'full English' piece was very affecting.

He was the Will Self that you didn't want to stab.

I never could think of one without thinking of the other.

Not just me then.

RIP. He will be missed.

[stitched]

I would say one of my favourite journalists if I liked another one.
Greatly missed R.I.P.

[avinalarf]

Sorry to hear about him passing away.
Always enjoyed reading his articles and books.
My condolences to The Blonde.

[cloggy]

Man with great style.

R.I.P.

[miniman]

Breakfast at The Wolesley is a nice read. 2016 is being a proper tt.

[Oilchange]

Wow, he didn't like Morrissey did he?

Fair enough though, Steven really is a tt.

RIP chap

[ABZ RS6]

Enjoyed his writing on many occasions.

RIP Mr. Gill

[Fort Jefferson]

He was a good mate of Jeremy Clarkson's IIRC.

Sad news, had way too much of it this year

I read that when he had been told the news, Jimmy Carr flew him to Whitby for fish and chips at the Magpie. Which says a heck of a lot about all of them.
