I didn't know that until I saw this Thread. I was surprised that he was only 74. He is only three years older than Paul. I thought he was like 10 years older.
As a journalist I thought him pompous and insufferable but no one likes to read this kind of news. Yet I am not going to cry crocodile tears for someone I didn't respect too much. I always liked how The Beatles took the mick out of Frost after his God-awful over serious introduction to "Hey Jude."

Thx in replying JSD, he's a popular interviewer David Frost.....On Faccebook, I'm constantly getting tributes/interviews of David with the fabs, didn't know he interviewed John/Yoko and Ringo, in the early 70's...? This came up on Facebook today with Paul... Paul Remembers Sir David Frost: "I was very sad to hear that my good friend David Frost passed away recently. I have known David for many years. "We first met when he was doing a stand up comedy routine in the London night club Quaglinos. I also went to see him at The Blue Angel in London and we bumped into each other at many social events during the ‘Swinging 60s’.
"He interviewed me several times, most recently for the Al Jazeera Network. He was always a most interesting interviewer and, as history has proven, had many famous encounters such as the Frost / Nixon series of interviews.
"On a personal level I send my deepest sympathies to his lovely wife Carina and their three sons Miles, Wilfred and George, who I first remember when they came downstairs during a party to say good night wearing rather stunning striped pyjamas!
"He will be missed by many friends and I am proud to be able to say I was one of them."
Paul McCartney, September 2013
