Brendan O’Connor’s Time Out.
Gareth Naughton, of RTE, writes:
Chic’s Nile Rodgers tells Brendan O’Connor’s Time Out on RTÉ One tonight about his heart break over his mother Beverly’s advancing Alzheimer’s Disease.
“It is really breaking my heart,” he tells Brendan O’Connor, “Last night, her doctor sent me her latest brain scan and you could see her brain actually dying. You could see areas that are well lit and quite alive and other areas that are basically just dead. Fibrosis has set in in such large areas. It is really painful but I must say that I have seen my Mom more in the last three years than I have since I was 14 years old.”

Awww. That’s so sad. He’s had a hard time of it recently.
Nile Rodgers is fupping awesome.
Nile Rodgers is always good value. BBC4 repeated a couple of programmes they made with him last weekend. He’s forthright about his addictions, as are other contributiors, but he’s got music and musicality in every cell in his body. Definitely one of those people you’d want at your dinner table for a chat.
That was great viewing.
Great guy. Hope he and his mom go through that awful journey together well.
A top 10 musician & one of the top humans around imho
after Grenfell tower burnt down he was down the aid centre sorting clothes very little publicity (I think he lives in London)
after some of his gigs he comes back out & does the autographs & pics just a nice man. gah…I’d nearly go down to Stradbally on the Sunday to see him
