Jeez, is there any good news! After losing Butch Wilkins (61) yesterday we now lose the Crafty Cockney at only 60:
Five-time world darts champion Eric Bristow has died at the age of 60.
The news was announced by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), which said Bristow died on Thursday following a heart attack.
Bristow, world champion five times between 1980 and 1986, also won five World Masters titles and was a founder player when the PDC was formed in 1993.
PDC chairman Barry Hearn said he would "always be a legend in the world of darts and British sport".
He added: "He was a tremendous player and a huge character, and even after his retirement fans would travel for miles to meet him and see him play."
Bristow, who was awarded an MBE for his services to sport in 1989, also worked as a TV pundit and appeared on ITV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in 2012.

Beat me to it Riggers. He told it as it was. Classic remark after being knocked out of final and asked who he wanted to win, replied don't give a stuff now I am out.
