And the grown ups will say "but why are the kids crying" and the kids will say "haven't you heard Rik is dead the people's poet is dead" RIP RIK MAYALL
Actor and long-time friend Adrian Edmondson said of Rik Mayall: "There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him.
"And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b*****d."
