Shocking news. Fond memories of Sean's Show in the 90s.

Yup, very sad, I remember Sean's Show & his various TV appearances, he was always good, I don't think I've seen him on the box for a few years now. He never ever looked that well, I wonder what his health problems were?

Sean's Show was must-watch TV when I was a kid. Never saw Buzzcocks but liked him in other stuff whenever he popped up. He certainly had talent and charm.

Early word is liver cirrhosis. Gave up alcohol too late.

'Death' by Sean Hughes:



'I want to be cremated

I know how boring funerals can be

I want people to gather

meet new people

have a laugh, a dance, meet a loved one.

I want people to have free drink all night.

I want people to patch together, half truths.

I want people to contradict each other

I want them to say “I didn’t know him but cheers”

I want my parents there,

adding more pain to their life.

I want the Guardian to mis-sprint three lines about me

or to be mentioned on the news

Just before the “parrot who loves Brookside” story.

I want to have my ashes scattered in a bar,

on the floor, mingled with sawdust,

a bar where beautiful trendy people

Will trample over me … again.
'


Taken from Sean’s Book by Sean Hughes, published by Pavilion in 1993.


Sean's will left his entire fortune to charity.
