[QUOTE]Comedian and actor Billy Connolly has had surgery for prostate cancer and has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
"The operation was a total success, and Billy is fully recovered," his spokeswoman said.

The 70-year-old Scot began working as a welder in the Glasgow shipyards but quit in the late 1960s to become a folk singer before turning to stand-up.
He has also starred in films including the Oscar-nominated Mrs Brown.

"Billy Connolly recently underwent minor surgery in America after being diagnosed with the very early stages of prostate cancer," his spokeswoman said.[/QUOTE]

I meant that I went to a live performance of his, with my father..
Not that my father and him performed live.

Sorry for the confusion.
