I'm not sure the context of your comment, but if it is regarding Warren Zevon, it was reported yesterday that Warren Zevon, 55, died of inoperable lung cancer.
Yesterday's news report was that he'd been diagnosed. Much like the character in The Holy Grail, he's not dead yet.
From the Reuters story:
"I'm OK with it, but it'll be a drag if I don't make it 'till the next James Bond movie comes out," Zevon, 55, joked in a statement, released by spokeswoman Diana Baron. (The next Bond film, titled "Die Another Day," comes out on Nov. 22.)"
