That rings a bell now, I seem to remember seeing a program about this (but not about him) in the past, hope he is coping with it well.

Wanderer:
Whoops....

The documentary was actually about the six, or so, months before he died. He had contracted cancer and knew he had only months to live and decided to make sure EB went high profile as it was hardly ever talked about.

It began with a shot of his brother and mother talking about him as he'd just died. Then all of a sudden you got Johnny doing a running commentary of everything.

The documentary took you from the real highs and lows of Johnny's life (and made me think that my lows aren't all that bad) and through the full range of emotions.

I just loved his face when the glider looped the loop.

Also the engraving of a baked bean can on his coffin as well as Queen Can't stop me now!

Miniman:
Makes you feel very lucky.

sparkplug:

it must have been hard for him
