    Adrian Anthony Gill ... born Edinburgh in 1954, was recommended to 'The *Times' at the age of 40 by fellow Scot, Andrew Neil in 1993 ... and quickly established himself as one of *its most popular - if outspoken - columnists.

    He was formerly married to Amber Rudd, the current Home Secretary.

    Interesting character Arthur. Started using "AA" out of gratitude to Alcoholics Anonymous who helped him to recovery. I remember reading him regularly when The London Evening Standard used to re print some of his articles . Occasionally controversial.

    RIP

    The big C is not a good thing for anyone to suffer from, but I wonder how may of his ailments were brought on by his lifestyle? Also, if it had spread did he seek early diagnosis and get treatment or 'man it out' until it was too late. Not that it changes anything for the guy now, but it might help others with potential issues now.
