Sad news.

Absolutely gutted to hear this. Loved back in the seventies BBC2 showed his series "The Innes Book Of Records". So sad.

This is sad - My favourite Neil Innes line:

As much imagination as a caravan site.

Sad news that it was so sudden and unexpected. I was a huge Bonzos fan growing up, I saw them on Do Not Adjust Your Set and had every album. Sadly I didn't see the original lineup live but was so pleased that I saw them twice on their reunion tours in the mid-2000s.

I also loved the Innes Book of Records and who could forget the Rutles. A really nice guy and very talented bloke. RIP.
