@@MSUMNER71 glad to hear it mark do u have any more of these videos with you and Kenny? I find stuff like this really enjoyable to watch as I was and still am a huge Kenny Everett fan. Thanks for the reply too my friend xj
Thank you for sharing this, its so nice to see his life away from TV, the media and his radio persona. He had such an influence on my young life, I have no doubt he helped shape my warped sense of humour and love of comedy. I think of him often
Kenny has always been my fairy godfather. If it wasn’t for technology and good people like you he would feel so far away, but in some ways now he’s closer than ever. Thank you for sharing.
He had a good heart. I’m really just a bit too young to have met him but I watched him on tv a lot. He was so funny. I miss that time too because in spite of everything, the horrors of the HIV crisis included, it felt like there was still hope in the world.
@@jackbrown4120he knew he was ill as far back as 1988. The main problem was actually his hearing, the illness destroyed it wich broke his heart because his life was audio & visual
So desperately sad that Kenny passed away and indeed many thousands of people from AIDS. HIV treatment that was more efficacious and safer was only a few years away at this point.
@mike true Pepe was in his mid forties when he passed. He passed from cancer. I can't comment on Nic as he passed away before I new Pepe think it was around 1991 1992 similar time to Freddie
This is a wonderful video. The story needs to be retold and reframed. Even in the early to mid 2000s people told the story of Kenny Everett, Freddie Mercury and other stars who had HIV almost as if they deserved it because of their behavior. Nobody deserves it, everyone *EVERYONE* has sex, and some people were tragically unlucky. I’m thankful that I’m too young to have been an adult at the height of the aids crisis and I am grateful to all who came before. Everyone who died paved the way for a better world in respect to HIV treatment, but it’s awful that the died. If the governments had acted faster, more people would have been saved. Kenny would be 77, he could easily still be here.

Kenny was a comedy genius. I grew up watching him on Australian TV in the 80s. I always thought he was hilarious and still do.
Thank you for sharing this rather personal video of his latter times. He was a genius who inspired so many people including me

So nice to see this. Ev was a great friend and I miss him everyday
Miss him to me and Pepe looked after him when he was sick
@@MSUMNER71 was you with him here? Amazing story.
He had a good heart. I’m really just a bit too young to have met him but I watched him on tv a lot. He was so funny. I miss that time too because in spite of everything, the horrors of the HIV crisis included, it felt like there was still hope in the world.
I so loved this man, so so sad to see this.. his memory lives on, I understand you looked after him..
Me and Pepe used to go over and look after him yes
@@MSUMNER71 Did his sister not look after him too? Do you know who was with him at the end? Hope he didn’t suffer. Genius
Even tho this was only a year before Kenny died he still looks OK and in good health.
Did he know he was ill here?
@@jackbrown4120he knew he was ill as far back as 1988. The main problem was actually his hearing, the illness destroyed it wich broke his heart because his life was audio & visual
I want to know. Did he ever mentioned anything about Freddie Mercury? I recall that they had a bad fight before he died in 1991.
I think they had a falling out. Kenny did have a habit of falling out with people especially in his later life.
Freddie and Kenny talked it out and reconciled in 1989, as both had HIV. Both had too strong characters. It is good that it came to a dialogue.
u have pictures of Nicolai Grishanovitch ?
Are we somehow related? Yank here, traced grandparents to Southport, Lancs. Have a good one! I'm Mark George Sumner BTW
Hi George I'm not sure if we are , I am based in the northwest of the UK
So desperately sad that Kenny passed away and indeed many thousands of people from AIDS. HIV treatment that was more efficacious and safer was only a few years away at this point.
I miss Kenny.
I miss him to
Why do we not see Kenny so much? I know he was ill
He died many years ago
You misunderstood the question. We know he died years ago!
When did Pepe pass away?
He passed away in 2001
@mike true Pepe was in his mid forties when he passed. He passed from cancer. I can't comment on Nic as he passed away before I new Pepe think it was around 1991 1992 similar time to Freddie
@@MSUMNER71 yes around 91-92. I remember Ev and Pepe visiting him in hospital.
Mark Sumner where is his gravestone?
@@MSUMNER71 Had Pepe AIDS?
How about Pepe Flores???
He passed away nearly 20 years ago
@@MSUMNER71 What a pity...
How about Nicolay???
You met him, did you???
@@johnmarcos1929 not him no he passed before I knew Pepe
