looking at the Gdansk footage I cant help but think that richard was maybe starting to get ill then. Do you think he might have known at this point?

I was at the odeon premiere and he seemed ok then. Which was after Gdansk (I was really drunk at the time tho)

What about DG GP etc. I really wonder just how long ago he was diagnosed. If he knew pre Gdansk or even longer it must have been surreal for him. Esp singing time and comfy numb.

Any thoughts?

hmm just stumbled on this:

When his cancer was diagnosed in December, he spent more time on his boat, trying to get well.

I do still think he was beginning to get ill towards the end of 2006

After seeing Remember That Night I commented that he didn't look well. I assume they'd known for a while.
