    I had the pleasure of meeting John around 15 years ago in the uk. What a welcoming and lovely man he was. He spent lots of time chatting and answering questions and we have a brilliant photo together. He also showed big respect to my family - Lovely man 💔 RIP Big guy and yes I prefer the big mick to the Big Mac 😊🙏🏻

This should’ve been a time where we got a proper reboot, or at least one that was more respectful. Unfortunately John was still mortal, so his passing isn’t something that could’ve been controlled but this milestone anniversary has been plagued by darkness

      @heatheroriordan5800 3 місяці тому +1

      His daughter believes there was some foul play, as his son had been keeping him isolated from the rest of the family. His publicist also pretended to be his daughter when they went to the ER the night John died, which is suspicious. After reading the daughter (Shannon Amos) statement signed by the rest of the family and friends of John, it really seems that some foul play was involved😢
