I'm guessing seen as you're from Portugal you don't get the same coverage of Robbie Williams as we do, but the guy is a fucking legend. Plain and simple. One of the most down to Earth people on the planet, does amazing stuff for charity, and just an all round top bloke. Some of his songs are decent too.

Poor fella. I've been depressed at times - I think most of us have. I always got through it by convincing myself that things would get better. What a nightmare to live with the thought that things will NEVER get better and the only way to relieve the pain is to end your life.

Gonna miss you, Robin. Your manic delivery and dead-on observations were a delight to watch.

Aww, I liked Robin Williams. Mrs Doubtfire, Aladdin, Jumanji, and I'm sure other stuff.

This makes me wonder how Jim Carrey is doing. He was another comedian that starred in old movies I liked.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Apples and oranges. BUT, both 'fruits' do have a history of past cocaine abuse. Thinking

He's also a bit of a fruitcake.

It's a shame and he'll be missed.

In all honesty though, I'm not surprised by this? I don't really know why.

I always got the sense he never really showed his true personality to the public. Like he was hiding his depression behind a façade of comedy.

there was actually a guy from that Guy With the Glasses that committed suicide somewhat recently. It came as a shock to everyone. Some people are good at hiding their pain, and unfortunately would rather pass away quietly instead of coming out to people.
