DAVID LYNCH, VISIONARY DIRECTOR DIES AT 78

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Director-writer David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and network television with “Twin Peaks,” has died. He was 78.

Lynch revealed in 2024 that he had been diagnosed with emphysema after a lifetime of smoking, and would likely not be able to leave his house to direct any longer. His family announced his death in a Facebook post, writing, “There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.'”

A devotee of transcendental meditation from the 1970s on, he established his David Lynch Foundation to promote the Eastern practice, and enlisted such stars as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Donovan for fund-raising concerts.

Despite persistent rumors of new feature and TV projects after “Twin Peaks” came to an end in 2017, Lynch focused on making music videos and composing music with collaborators including Christabell. He offered his name to the David Lynch Graduate School of Cinematic Arts at Maharishi University and a line of coffee beans and designed Silencio nightclubs in Paris and New York.

Lynch was married four times. He is survived by two daughters and two sons.

THE BEATLES TURNED DOWN £20 MILLION OFFER TO REUNITE FOR AN UNUSUAL REASON

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Beatles were offered an eye-watering sum to reunite for just one show in 1976 – but the band turned down the proposal for a very bizarre reason relating to sharks, according to Ringo Starr
The Beatles had an opportunity to reunite for a hefty sum, but declined for an unusual reason.

revealed they were offered a staggering $50million in 1976 – equivalent to £200million today – for a one-off performance. Despite the enticing offer, the Fab Four decided against it. 

A full Beatles reunion never materialised after their split in 1970. Their final live gig was held on the rooftop in January 1969, where they performed new tracks like 'Don't Let Me Down' and 'Get Back'.

The band members went on to collaborate on one another's solo projects but they never collaborated as a full band on the record.

Reflecting on the last time he worked with all three Beatles, Ringo Starr remarked: "I didn't leave the studio thinking that will be the last record we'd ever make. I never thought that. I didn't think it would be the last time we'd ever tour together either."

But this could have changed in 1976 when, the band was offered a substantial amount to get back together. Despite each member believing they would reform at some point and perform live, their reunion was thwarted due to an unusual reason.

The staggering offer from Bill Sargent involved a bizarre twist – the opening act was to be a man fighting a shark. As reported by CultureSonar via Entertainment Tonight Canada, the Beatles rejected the comeback because "the opening act was a guy biting a shark."

This peculiar spectacle would have featured Australian adventurer Wally Gibbins battling a Great White shark live on TV from Western Samoa. As a result, the Fab Four decided not to participate in the televised performance.
