I'm gonna miss him so much, he was actually my next door neighbour and land lord, such a kind and sweet soul. I'll miss you man I really will
I'm ENGLISH and I've never heard of him and has he passed away???
@@SECRETORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLARIs there a reason you capitalised "English"?
❤❤❤❤❤
@@SECRETORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR yea, very sudden illness a few days ago
@@franklingoodwin They feel stupid coming from his home country and not have heard of him.
"I really love you man!" There is no better complement from one of the worlds best humans. He is already missed
I found out about Benjamin from Peaky Blinders, but I had started to become really fond of his work and poetry quite recently. So when I saw that he had passed away I was genuinely heart broken.
The world has lost one of its heros, what a kind, funny & inspiring person. Rest in peace Benjamin Zephaniah 🙏
We need more Benjamin Zephaniah and fewer Netenyahu. The world would be a better place and is all the more sad at his passing.
Rest in peace. Rest in Power. Remembered with “I really Love you man” Such a great loss to us. Thanks for sharing Russel, you trouble maker!
He looks so young and healthy. How did he die? This is the first time seeing him.
@@gerarduspoppel2831 brain tumour, aged 65.
I never had the pleasure or honour to personally meet him but the sweet silly but wise energy he had truly will be missed
He's so nice isn't he, my mother lives next to him so I saw him a lot, even took me for a drive in his vintage car, I'll miss him a lot
@@aperture_autorepairs sorry for your loss❤️
@@rollingmetal949 thanks man, honestly means a lot ❤️
Britain's not the only country that needs people like him...
I adore Benjamin. So pleased I got to meet him. His autobiography is incredible, wise, humble and humane. We have lost a great, let us never forget his work and what he stood for.
So special ❤. Thank you, Russell. You are a legend Benjamin Zephaniah. Rest in Peace .❤🙏
Such a quality man. Much missed.
What a lovely man
Rest in peace Benjamin. Fabulous character ❤
Zephaniah’s debut novel Face I maintain is one of the most vital, impactful that was ever taught to me in English class in secondary school.
Rip Great man❤
He was a loveable and important “troublemaker”. RIP Benjamin.❤️🙏🏻
rip legend, nobody could have played the part of Jeremiah in peaky blinders any better than you my guy
Legend, leaves the world a better place than the one he found
Thanks for posting this. Reminds us how lucky we were to have Benjamin.
WHAT sorry american just found him on QI and panel... saw here and thought awesome i know russell is at least current... likely a recent interview... then i scroll to comment how beautiful a man he is and i see he is gone... RIP BENJAMIN... what a beautiful soul.
Thank you Russell.
I can’t get enough of this guy. Miss him so much!!!!
Sweetest man, met him at Birmingham university open day and he's inspired me for over a decade. His writing is beautiful and him being a proud brummie and down to earth guy always was so refreshing
Rest in peace, gone too soon.
The man had a valid point too, you gotta stir things up to see positive change.
He's so self-depricatingly charming. So sad to have lost him. He died relatively young. May he rest in peace and live on through his work.
*I loved learning about this guy and his poems in English class.* 😢😢😢😢😢
What he said we need "Trouble makers" reminds me of the line in *SCARFACE* where *TONY MONTANA* says "You need badmen like me"
This was such a joy to watch. I really didn't know he had past. RiP man. You were so lyrical.
Great to see this full interview again, only wish it was longer :)
Britain did need him!
awesome
RIP
Rest in peace Benjamin ❤
R.I.P Mr Zephaniah 🦁👑😢❤
A genuine loss to the world, a humble man who spoke a lot of sense. Also very funny.
Rest easy Zephaniah 🖤❤️💚 UTV
I will have to say, I love you too Mr. Howard.
Not sure on the wrestling part 😊 out of respect for your marriage and your wife. But, I wouldn’t mind having a beer or whatever at a pub somewhere and just chat. I believe there is something genius with your humor and it would come out in your daily thinking and talks.
Also, because you can make me laugh like only my own son can. You were (and still are) one of my go to comedians as well Mr. Howard. You had gotten me through some dark hours with my cancer battle (2010-2012) and for that I am forever grateful and I thank you. From a # 1 fan… Have a great holiday season with your family. 🍾🥂
A great brummie. God bless him and May he Rest in Peace ❤
2 of the most fantastic & wonderful people. Britain needs you both.
Always loved Mr Zephaniah. Rip Brother.
I hadn't known about him until he was gone.
My loss.
What a gentleman ❤
Absolute legend!!! Love him!! Xx
I didn’t know who he was until saw him on Russel’s show, he made a big impact just from watching him
RIP Benjamin
Rest in peace you wonderful man
Benjamin Zephaniah. A great person, soul, raconteur and inspiration.
A man of our time and a man for all time.
RIP
👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
i never knew him from anything other than his small role in peaky blinders, but fuck man, he died waaay too soon. he's dearly missed and celebrated! ❤
BZ will not be forgotten
❤
One of the greats 😢
💜
RIP benjamin
🙏💚💛❤️🙏
About dreams, I wont be spreading my dreams under your feet!
A real loss to the world.
Real recognise real
How when he die!
The world is full of trouble makers we don't need anymore
We do without trouble makers state takes over
We need troublemakers that will direct their trouble-making in a good and positive way that will help not hinder..
So you are complicit in the shitty status quo. Stop being asleep.
You're missing the point. Well meaning troublemakers stir the complacency within us. We're not talking about knife/gun welding maniacs, but those who use their courage and intellect to shine a light on those matters most of us just sit on our arses and sitting on our hands merely blowing hot air from both ends about, doing absolutely nothing. The likes of Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, the Suffragettes.....all deemed as troublemakers. RIEP brother Benjamin🤎💯🇯🇲
VIVA ISRAEL 🇮🇱

Noone cares about either
Nobody asked. Please try and read the room
It is rude to hijack threads..
Not really with its current government.
That could have been much longer!!!❤😔😪❤️
Nice little quote from 'uncharted 4' there by Russle 2:09
RIP
