Frank Sidebottom

It appears that Frank Sidebottom (real name Chris Sievey) has been diagonsed with cancer. He has posted some details on Twitter and MySpace.

Sad news; but Christ did that guy creep me out when he used to turn up on those Saturday morning kids shows! Could you imagine, as a child, waking up and finding him in the corner of your room, with that big head on? brrr...!

Hope he gets better of course!

Poor Frank.

He scared me too! But I loved it.

Dang! Get well soon Mr. Sidebottom.

That's sad. Do I remember right that he had something to do with Oink! back in the day? And was I imagining things or did I see him in an advert recently?

He was definitely the funniest giant-headed funnyman out there. Funnier than Jimmy Carr, anyway.

Hope he gets well.

I met (loose interpretation) Frank once about 16 years ago when (for a reason that escapes me)he brought his football team (Timperley Rovers?) to play one of the pub teams in my town. He actually played for a bit with the head on and then ran up and down the line making people laugh. I spoke to him when he was having a 'head-off'moment and he seemed a pretty decent bloke.

Always cheers me up to see Mr Sidebottom. Hope he gets well soon.

I went to his website only a few days ago, as he popped into my head out of the blue, and I wanted to see what he was up to these days.

RIP Frank.

Only 54.

RIP. He was very good. You know he was, he really was.

Truly tragic.

What will happen to Little Frank?

Very sad, bobbins news.
