i am. i'm very upset, and i'm having a sniffle.
...and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"

Lord Flashheart, Lord Flashheart,
I wish you were the star.
Lord Flashheart, Lord Flashheart,
you're sexier by far.
Farewell, Rik.

awful news, i'm really upset by this. not only was his comedy a mainstay of my younger years but his recent portrayal of the dad in "man down" demonstrated what an exceptional actor he was as well as a very funny guy. the "dancing queen" comedy drama with helena bonham carter also stands out as a favourite.
R.I.P. Rik. you will be missed.

Last saw him in 2006 here on stage in Glesga in "The Blair B'Stard Project". I and the rest of the audience roared with laughter for hours.

RIP Rik. There shall be none like you.<3

It's s**t news, 56 was far too young for Rik to go.
Touching to see all the love for the brilliant, crazy bastard across the interwebs & beyond.
