Was out on a jog and my son called me. In a strange way it came as no surprise given his recent health scare. I think if he been playing at the BIC 2 weeks earlier when I last saw them, it would have hit me harder, as I would have been less prepared.

I was watching the FF Live at Hammersmith '13 DVD, and I had my head phones on. My mobile was next to me on the sofa, when suddenly, I was getting Text's, emails & a miss call, thinking it was just friends wishing me a happy Christmas, I didn't take much noticed, when I caught the first line of another text saying, as it came through...Ive just heard the sad news that ....... So I picked the phone up read the full text..I just heard the sad news that Rick Parfitt has died. It was one of those moments, where it didn't seem to register. I'm reading the missed text messages about Rick's death, while on my TV, Rick is blasting his way through Big Fat Mama. The worse start to a Christmas, I can ever remember.

You know it's Christmas Eve we celebrate here, so it was merely after the festivities had come to an end and my parents had left, that hubby checked the ntv news feed on his smartphone, saw it on there and passed the news on to me.
I didn't cry or anything - I was simply completely stunned, shocked and that feeling didn't leave me for many days. Strange actually, after all we knew about the state of his health and it shouldn't really have come as a surprise - but it did. And it shocked me much more than I'd ever thought it would.

I had been at a Xmas Eve church thing with the kids. I rang my mum to tell her that my daughter had been speaking in church, then she told me. I was like very sad but not unexpected due to his health. I assumed it was another heart attack, to hear the real cause later was more shocking than the actual announcement.
