This might explain her behaviour.




Show pulled as Twink hospitalised
Stage performer Twink has been forced to cancel a show tonight after being hospitalised earlier today.
Twink was taken to a hospital in Dublin, by ambulance, after becoming unwell shortly after lunchtime today.
She has since been transferred to a second hospital.
It is believed that she had an adverse reaction to some allergy and asthma medication that she was taking.
The opening night of 'Menopause: The Musical', due to take place at the Tivoli tonight, has been cancelled as a result of Twink's illness.
The show's producer Robert C Kelly, who is also acting as a judge on 'Fame: The Musical', said: "I, with the rest of the cast and crew, wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to opening the show with Adele in the next day or two."
Those who purchased tickets for tonight's show can get a refund or exchange tickets by contacting the Tivoli box office directly.

Me arse.

She sounded pissed/drugged this morning and I'd say she was in no fit state to do any show. It's the usual excuse for these people when they go on a bender.

She may not have been hospitalised for something physical...that doesn't mean to say she wasn't hospitalised.

I'd say people shouldn't make rash judgements about others without having access to the full facts.

tbh

Please - no more comments about twink on the show yesterday. I'd remind posters that they are responsible for what they write on boards, and if legal action is taken, it will be against you, and not boards.

tbh

that said, I have just listened, and it is hilarious.

Jesus, that Twink interview was painful listening. Good.:D

Gerry was fair quick to change the subject when money was brought up (for once), he didnt know what she was gonna go on about next.

Anyone hear him sing "Welcome, to my World" when talking about Bertie and the FF ministers giving up/holding on to their pensions etc. It was apt both in a financial sense and a FF sense.

delop

The song Gerry's producer played after her interview made me laugh :-)

Christ, that was cringeworth alright.

I think thats when Gerry knew to pull the plug.

Twitter buzzing but I haven't a clue what it is.

IrishTonyO

Miriam O'Callghan and other RTE people have confirmed Gerry Ryan dies of a heart attack on Twitter

tbh

standard "guess who died" rumour.

I stress: Not substantiated, no sources confirming it anywhere - you'd imagine if it were true we'd have heard officially by now.

So folks - please don't post it here again.

Delirium

Taken from Miriam O'Callaghans twitter about rumours of Gerry Ryan.

Tragically it is true. So terribly shocking and sad. Life is just too cruel sometimes. RIP

furiousox

just confirmed on newstalk, wow so sad.

Fozzie Bear

Just confirmed on news flash on Newstalk radio..

bazkennedy

It has been confirmed by Miriam O'Callaghan, Sean Moncrieff and others in RTE I am afraid.

tbh

Ok folks, sadly it turns out to be true.


So, this is the only warning.

ANYONE using this thread to slag the guy off will be banned from the forum.

if you want to post a respectful post here, do it. If you don't, don't post anything.

Read this carefully:


ANYBODY POSTING REMARKS IN BAD TASTE WILL BE BANNED. BB and I will decided what "bad taste" is. If you're not sure, don't post.

Fozzie Bear

Did not like him or his show but you have to admit he was a giant of Irish media and still a relatively young man.

His show has run for decades on 2fm and held constantly high listening figures. Myself and the missus were only watching him on tv last night and commented on how heavy he had gotten. He has had a rough past year or two in his personal life. My thoughts are with his family.

RIP gerry.

Dinkie

His poor family.

I was not a fan, but he did a lot of good.

RIP

miketv

Shocking
RIP
will miss him

No, Colm & Jim Jim did an extra hour, then Fiona Looney did 10-12.

As much as I didn't like the man, this is a terrible tragedy for his family.

RIP.

IrishTonyO

Grew up listening to him on Night Train when I was young. RIP.

deadhead13

That was a shock, I'm genuinely saddened by the news - RIP Gerry.

eth0_

Safe to say I wasn't his biggest fan but this is tragic. RIP G. Ryan.

Shay Healy on Moncrieff now talking about him

PCPhoto

on another thread a poster mentioned that rigormortis has started setting in when picked up by ambulance - so would have passed well before 2pm. ..... call was made maybe around 2 and picked up before 2.30.

either way - RIP.... hard to believe.

washiskin

It's almost a JFK thing....I was posting purchase invoices for the end of month when I heard...

Good memories of Non Stop Pop.

WIZE

I have counted 6 threads about this on the Boards home Page not including this one

Why did you not believe it and open another one ?

rovert

I know slagging the guy off was a national past time but the guy was an institution on Irish radio for decades I hope on this particular forum that is respected within reason.

Very sad, RIP.

paul.mcguinness

shame

telekon

RIP Gerry, I hope you know the slagging was part and parcel of working for RTE.
