Man In The Rain Group: Members Posts: 405 Joined: April 2002 Posted: Feb. 20 2003, 17:35 Weird video! Hmm, so if thats Viv Stanshall - how come? And how did they record his voice? I read in the Mike biography that when they came to get him to record for Tubular Bells II, he was dead (or maybe I misread and he was just off his head on drugs?) -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Feb. 20 2003, 22:09 He was just incredibly drunk, and so unable to record (and probably unable to even get out the door) - he died in 1995. Back to top

Ray Group: Members Posts: 857 Joined: Jan. 2000 Posted: Feb. 20 2006, 07:08 Yes Vivian Stanshall Died as Korgscrew said.  He was probably quite old.  But he may have had some illness.  I seem to have read somewhere he was a bit miffed about not getting any royalties from Tubular Bells when it was sucessful.  Rgds Ray -------------- Looking out over the harbour in Peel.......

bugular tell Group: Members Posts: 482 Joined: Mar. 2003 Posted: Feb. 20 2006, 08:17 from what i can remember he died as a result of smoking in bed, according to the documentry i saw on his life a while ago, he was having a smoke in bed after a few drinks and fell asleep causing the cigerette to catch his bed clothes on fire   -------------- Light travels faster than sound, thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak Back to top
