Palin’s final tune for good pal Terry

-

Michael Palin has revealed he sang Terry Jones a classic Monty Python song on his deathbed.

The actor said his co-star was unconsciou­s when he visited him for the f inal time, shortly before the 77- year- old died f rom dementia in January.

Palin, 76, said he and Jones’s wife sang Every Sperm Is Sacred from 1983 film The Meaning of Life.

He told The Old ie magazine: “Unfortunat­ely we couldn’t remember all the words, so if Terry was hearing me at all then, he just heard what a complete shower we were.”

Palin said on previous v isits he managed to make his friend laugh – by reading jokes that Jones himself had written.
