sums it until the end. i think this sums it up. his family released a statement, saying that he is in hospital receiving treatment for health issues. this is the line that he came up with, just this week. he he said that he thanked everybody for the support and good wishes he has received but would like more and more! that pretty much sums it up. for someone who has made so many people laugh for so many years. thank you very much for that update. we will be back on speaking to you again later on. for now though. just bring you that news that we have been hearing in the last hour or so that the australian entertainer barry humphries, best known for dame edna everage has been treated in hospital and now we have the confirmation that he has died at the age of 89. this is bbc news.
