At 83, Eric Idle is thriving and preparing for his first UK tour since 1973, following a successful battle with pancreatic cancer. During a recent interview, he shared thoughts on various topics, including his time with Monty Python, the Broadway adaptation Spamalot, and critiques of Donald Trump. Idle highlighted the joy he derives from music and comedy with friends, noting the emotional significance of his song 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' being used at funerals, which he finds deeply moving.
Every summer I go to France because I can't stand the news. I can't stand hearing about that man every minute of every day. They're completely obsessed by him in the US. It's like they're addicted to him.
What makes me proudest is that Always Look on the Bright Side of Life has become a funeral song. I find that very moving.
