It's not over 'til the fat guy stops singing

I heard this morning that The Pav has passed away after a year of illness. I'm not a fan of the old shouty stuff, but by the sounds of it, he was up there with the best. Isn't it sad that he will be remembered by most as 'that fat guy who sang the World Cup song'?

It was cringeworthy on Sky News this morning. The anchor crossed to some reporter in Rome (yeah right).

Anchor: 'He sang to an audience of 150,000 in Hyde Park. That must be a record for a tenor?'
'Expert' reporter: 'Yes, numbers like that ...'
A: 'We've just been showing pictures of him with Princess Diana. They were great friends'
'E' r: 'Oh yes, they were very close...'

And so it continued for 5 minutes. Expert reporting.

Rest in peace big man, and try not to scare the angels.
