Reading his Wiki page, it's probably not significant that the BBC interview where he said the disease "had beaten him" and that he was "near the end" came a couple of months after his wife had thrown him out after discovering he'd been having an affair with a model for 8 years - is it?

He's turned rightwing in his old age though just like his mates Amis, McEwen et al - the last thing I read of his was a review in the TLS where he praised Tony Abbott, Australia's very own Donald Trump

Was he young? Not anymore. Was he still active? Not as much as heād like to be. But was he still spending his days on the right side of the dirt, entertaining old pals in his long-time residence, and toying with the notion of making one last hit? You bet your sweet bippy, baby.
