MuckleJoannie Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Frank Sidebottom's creator saved from pauper's funeral Friends of Chris Sievey, the creator of comedian Frank Sidebottom, have created an online campaign to pay for his funeral. Sievey, 54, who had cancer and died on Monday, was facing a pauper's funeral, after dying virtually penniless, his family have said. A Facebook page, entitled Frank's Fantastic Funeral, which was set up by friends, has raised £6,500. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=132514523438850&v=app_2392950137#!/group.php?gid=132514523438850&v=wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
