Death of Humphrey Lyttleton after aortic aneurysm surgery
What can you say? People like Humph are supposed to live for ever. He was the Prince of Irreverent Humour; completely irreplaceable. I expect a minute’s silence at a certain Underground station and people to throw flowers in front of the funeral cortege as it wends its solemn way down the Mall. The Queen must surely make an announcement.
More about aortic aneurysms later maybe. Suffice to say they can be fatal to jazz musicians.
