Frank Sidebottom tribute (North West Tonight, 22.6.10)

Chris Sievey, aka Frank Sidebottom, died on June 21st 2010 after collapsing at his home, shortly before he was due to start treatment for oesophageal cancer and was also due to have an operation to remove a tumour from his chest, following a stent having been put in place to enable some food to go down as his oesophagus was blocked, and later to begin chemotherapy.

I will miss him. The world will miss him. RIP Frank :(

Frank, you are my hero.

And by the way, has anyone noticed that he is one of the people at the end of Shakira's Waka Waka Music Video (OfficialWorld Cup Song) ? - It just goes to show how popular he was.
