Celebrating Sir Patrick Stewart, 13th July 1940 to 28th October 2026.
As Sir Patrick boldly goes where no-one has gone before, t'internet will be ablaze with tributes to his long and storied time on Earth.
When an actor passes, however great, and you're the publisher of what is essentially a music blog, this can present something of a challenge.
Sometimes a legend has led a parallel life as an actor and singer or musician. For every Barbra Streisand, there's a J-Lo. For every Kris Kristofferson, there's a Bruce Willis.
And then sometimes, there is an actor that manages to perfectly walk the line between immense gravitas and having a laugh (and often at their own expense).
I give to you, from 2016 when he was a mere slip of a boy at 76 years old, Patrick Stewart's Cowboy Classics.
Go easy to the final frontier, Sir Patrick.
During 'Don't Fence Me In' he appears to be floating above the rocky outcrop, ready to ascend.
