RIP Frank Sidebottom

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The comedian, whose real name was Chris Sievey, was recovering from an operation to remove a tumour from his chest.

Sad.

One of my favourite albums is 'Frank Sidebottom Salutes The Magic Of Freddie Mercury and Queen and also Kylie Minogue'. :notworthy:

I thought it was a Jock thaang not to get him, I wished him no ill but found his act a bit pathetic. In the end, someone ages with me gone too soon. :|

I quite liked him actually. I suppose he appealed to me in the same way that Half Man Half Biscuit do. RIP Frank :(

£6500 was raised to save him from a pauper's funeral.

I only found out about Frank dying yesterday. I wonder if they'll have a minutes silence at Timperly FC.
