Very sad. He seemed fine just two years ago when I saw Monty Python at the O2 Arena.

Actually Terry Jones muffed a few lines and had to read some from a script. So he was not well even then.

I noticed he was using a script and/or prompter, but didn't attribute it to anything serious at the time. Now we now. 
