Same ... you just assume the worst when you don’t hear from people for ages

Didn’t he get married and father a child at 75 or something ?

Yes

Very sad news. Des was a hugely popular entertainer/singer in the 70s 80s and 90s. He was probably best known for his role in the Morecambe and Wise shows. Absolute legend.

Yes, very sad. But he hasn't looked right for a few years now. :(

Last few times I've seen him on TV he's looked shaky and frail. No surprise to learn he has died, even though it was after a fall. Unsteady on his feet, I guess.

Sad also, we've seen so many entertainers die this year. RIP, Des. :(
