In amongst this avalanche of celebrity deaths further
sad news reaches RAWK Towers today.
CHOPPERS has passed away after many decades spent gurning and scratching his arse as the world passed him by. This cheeky chimp could - famously - get dressed by himself and was a well known musician, showing a particular aptitude for the piano - who can forget the famous line 'you hum it son, and I'll play it?' delivered from his famously buck toothed gob. Latterly, he's been known to strum his banjo in public, oblivious to passing traffic.
His keepers took the difficult to have him 'put to sleep' after he displayed signs of heart and liver failure. Those who knew him well were surprised to discover that he had a heart at all, although his liver has been donated to medical science to be tested for it's epic endurance in the face of so many Cainings.
RIP TO CHOPPERS. What a whopper.
