I was lucky enough to meet him a few times and see him perform (his poetry) on his "Did I mention the free wine?" tours. He had a team and sommelier travel around the country by coach and he flew in and home by helicopter for every performance. The wine cost more than the ticket price and the proceeds went to his charity. He was a wonderful eccentric who achieved so much (and got into a lot of trouble). As a number in this thread have said "How to get rich" is a marvellous book that's definitely worth a read. His poetry is fantastic (look on his website!) as well. Definitely a sad day.
