New York, October 26 (TS)-- Andrew Lloyd Weber is confident to return to work as soon as possible. The 61-year-old composer, reportedly being treated for prostate cancer, was quoted by his friends saying, "The show WILL go on."
I suppose this isn't so much an AreWeTooSoon? piece as it is a "stay tuned for an AreWeTooSoon? piece". Coming up shortly.
Prostate cancer... man those prostate doctors must make money up the... yin yang.
Good on ALW for letting the world know about this. Too many celeb deaths come out of nowhere and it leaves you scrambling to come up with jokes in a very short time which is a high pressure situation. Yeah that's right, I bet you never thought about THAT did you? Everyone is so busy feeling sorry for the dead person they don't even give a second thought to the people who are the most effected - those still living that are left with the burden of having to come up with material.
Example: Morrissey collapsed onstage on Saturday night and almost died.
Now Morrissey made it (this time) and is recovering nicely, but what if he had died? We'd have had approximately 12-18 hours to respond to get in the timely "every day ISN'T like Sunday"-based content.
Now, it looks like we probably have a few weeks to prepare for this one... I've already come up with "Phantom of the Operating Room" so that's a good start I guess.
Also, in looking through Morrissey articles I see that "Sir" Elton John had to cancel some shows due to flu-related illness... I doubt it's serious enough to kill him - which is good news for anyone in a "How will Elton John die?" office pool because I'm guessing "flu" was not the most popular pick - but when it does happen, ooooh that'll be a gooooooood day around these parts.
Anyway, happy Monday all, and here's hoping for a great week of Too Soon.
Love,
Chris Real
