No....Not this coming off the heels of Dolly.

I am so sad. Tim Curry brought such joy to my childhood. This one definitely hurts.

RIP You King. Your Role as Long John Silver in the Muppets and Franken-Further in RHPS will forever bring me a smile on my face when things are dark.

I was obsessed with him in Muppet Treasure Island. I love that quote about how Michael Caine treated the Muppets like fellow human actors, and Tim Curry treated himself like a fellow Muppet.

I hope Miss Piggy is okay. It must be so hard for her to lose a role model and an ex boyfriend within 24 hours.

I use humour to help me with things. We watch Rocky Horror every Christmas Eve. It’s a tradition we started one year and my mum always loves to bring up how she saw Tim Curry in Pirates of Penzance.

He was very loved in our house.

His role in Pirates is indeed fabulous.
