It'd be odd to say it's sad. It still feels right to feel a little sad though. I think he made an excellent subject for what I regard as the stand alone best Aussie film I've ever seen. He was dark and colourful.

Rest in peace Uncle Chop.

Holy Shit I knew he was sick for a while, it's still a bit of a shock though. Eric Bana was amazing in the movie they made about chopper, I can guarantee he would be pretty sad chopper has passed away.

Yeah, I didn't know if I should say anything...

His criminality shouldn't be celebrated, but he should be recognised as an Australian icon. Plus cancer sucks :(

Arh look Tania, ya Mum's upset.

You don't shoot a man...BANG!

It's like when your Mum stabs ya, right, you don't get upset. You say look, Mum's stabbed me and you get yourself off to the nearest hospital.

They love it. Well, they don't like it and there's a lot of screaming, but I love it, yeah.

Note this was liver cancer, caused by cirrhosis of his liver, caused by him contracting Hepatitis C via drug abuse.

The official story was he got it from sharing razors in prison.

Gotta respect him for refusing to put his name down for a transplant. Liver cancer is a shitter of a thing.
