So I said, I have to go now, Rudolph.
And he said, oh, good, yeah, fine.
He was in bed, of course.
There was less of him in bed now.
He was smaller than he was a year before.
And I leant over and kissed him on the mouth.
And it was a sort of final, final farewell.
And he jolted a bit and said, oh, you've never done that before.
And I said, well, you know, look after yourself.
And he said, oh, be well.
And then I left.
I after Butler School, I worked in properties and I was actually working on a super yacht, 75 meter super yacht, 22 crew.
And one of the crew burst into my cabin and she was upset and she said, he's dead.
And I knew, of course, who it was and then went to his funeral in Paris in that very cold, cold January day.
A lot of people were there.
A lot of people were really upset.
I mean, he was so young.
He was 54.
All this energy, all this life, he was like a meteor streaking across the sky.
People were fascinated by what he did, enjoyed by what he did.
